Sep 12, 2016It’s an album that needs the thick-skin its title connotes to listen--you won’t emerge from it feeling joyous, but you will emerge seeing a truth that will deeply unsettle.
-
Aug 18, 2016An album that’s disorienting at its catchiest, harrowing at its ugliest, and more than willing to run both of those modes at the same time.
-
Aug 29, 2016Callus is the sound of someone exorcising their demons with nothing but a few pieces of gear and his own snarling weapon of a voice--and growing stronger for it.
-
Q MagazineAug 16, 2016A listening experience every bit as intense and idiosyncratic as Ecks himself. [Sep. 2016, p.106]
-
Aug 22, 2016With the exception of Krishna Punk and Devils, the album lacks drive, and at 19 tracks it’s easy to lose focus while listening.
-
Aug 18, 2016It’s unflinching, unapologetic and at times bordering on unlistenable. But it’s a bold sonic statement that brutally conveys its intended message. In this, Callus proves a success.

Aug 18, 2016Unfortunately, Gonjasufi's attempt to turn his solidarity with the angry and the dispossessed into a musical concept is too blandly realized to be convincing.
