All Music Guide - Greg Prato
To the uninitiated, listeners may prematurely conclude that Soul Control specialize in hard-hitting hardcore (with metallic leanings) on their 2009 release, Cycles. But upon closer inspection, it turns out that the quartet is largely modeled after such '90s-era Amphetamine Reptile bands as (early) Helmet and Unsane -- both of which were quite content in not sticking entirely to hardcore's rules.

Despite this somewhat expanded format, Soul Control maintain their level of intensity from beginning to end -- with a few tranquil detours inserted to serve as "breathers" -- including such ditties as the album-opening "Beyond Words," "Like Spiders," and "Fundamental Forces." And they even manage to get sonically artsy-fartsy here and there (as evidenced by such tracks as "Flux").
