“Kampfar’s Kvass is nearly impossible to pigeonhole. The one certainty is that the band’s joining of folk-influenced majesty with a primal black metal foundation is made particularly memorable because of arrangements that are both mesmerizing and melodic” – Metal Maniacs

“Kvass is an album that not only holds true to the Kampfar spirit, but serves as a reflection, carrying on that traditional archaic and folkish Norwegian black metal spirit that has been lost and forgotten over the years" – Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles

“Listen as Viking-metal masters Kampfar engulf the ears with smoldering guitars, thunderous drums, hissing vocals, and epic chants. Feel as with each track the strength within you ebbs and flows, concurrent with that blinding fury that only Odin can bestow upon your tainted blood…The time for battle has come at last” – Explicitly Intense

“In Norwegian, ‘Kvass’ means ‘Sharp,’ and that indeed sums up the album - it's as sharp as a double-edged sword honed to razor sharpness” – Crowgrrrl’s Perch

“Kampar produces black metal with hints of melody and plenty of sickness. There's a definite turning of the ear toward classic black metal on this disc, with its percussive drive, sick guitar movements and vocal attack…The music is cold and foreboding yet alive in its rage” – Fishcomcollective.net

"The cold, desolate, and chilling album cover…is a telling precursor to the music contained…There's an epic feel to each of the songs, not just brought about by the lengths of each, but based on the combination of fast and atmospheric parts, plus the effective production which again is raw but very powerful” – SeaOfTranquility.org

“An altogether different breed of black metal…combine Nordic folklore and myths to create a steady, digestible piece of metallic bliss. Of course, many bands are doing this, but can they honestly say they're making black metal with a raw metal vibe that people outside of the black metal genre can latch onto? I didn't think so” – BlackAngel Promotions

“One of Norway's most underrated bands…if you’re a fan of the early ‘90's Norwegian movement with some high-class metal playing, then you need this” – Bleed the Freaks webzine

“An icy distinction that draws you in with magnificently structured melodies whilst retaining a fist-in-the-face brutality whiplashing the long, grandiose numbers along…a nebular, expansive frostiness that IMMORTAL would have sold their souls for…all I can say is that this album is the bollocks. Kvass is pure class, simple as that” – Live4Metal.com
