«The echoing opening guitar melody transitioning into Stockholm style grooving death chugs is captivatingly heavy, dirty, and raw.»

«Meanwhile, tracks like "Ravenous Whore" and "Humanity Wept" are out-and-out stompers, bruising cuts of Clandestine era Entombed worship...»

«It's heavy, chunky and huge-sounding with a killer production job that should titillate people who've been eating up Entrails, Revolting and the new Autopsy.»

«'Seeds', 'The Grim Irony' and 'Cathedrals of Dread' have great My Dying Bride circa early '90s main riffs, the latter interspersed with hella-catchy Swedeath grooves.»

«'Ravenous Whore' and 'As the World Collapses' take things into Dismember or early Grave territory, thrashing d-beats and a few blasts - while 'A Thousand Martyrs' is like Left Hand Path worship spliced with Draconian Times' guitar leads.»

«Lots of tense, burrowing double bass here from Erlandsson, while the rhythm guitars take on a distinctly old Swedish tone that might remind one of Entombed, Dismember and the many thousands of acolytes to follow them.»

«Problem is...well, the album is just not that consistent, and there are a number of cuts here where the band adopts a more crude death metal aesthetic reminiscent of Grave, Asphyx and Unleashed but lacking some of the strong riffing and balance of the cuts above. "Ravenous Whore", "As the World Collapses", and "Humanity Wept" are all pretty bland attempts to develop effortless, derivative grooves and feel like any random band of Sweden worshipers circa 1992. The guitar tone is still potent and pulverizing, the vocals rich and dark, but the notes just don't have that 'it' factor to stand out among so many similar recordings. There are still a few stunners spread throughout the track list, like the melancholic swell of "Seeds" or the better approximations of Entombed meets Paradise Lost ("The Divine Have Fled", "A Thousand Martyrs") but the mood is occasionally broken up with the more boring filler.»

«That said, there is still enough to A Fragile King where it might be worth checking out for either long term Paradise Lost devotees or those addicted to old school nostalgia or the Swedish stylings of other throwback bands like Miasma, Demonical, and Entrails.»
