"Hey, alt-metal needs love too! Albums like Distance & Devotion are perfect when you're burnt out on blastbeats and breakdowns and boo-boo-boo-boo-ka-ka-ka-ka. The fact that Anchor are Swedish is important as there are helpful but slight hints of melodeath. For driving, commuting, etc. it is this week's top jam album!" - Metal Sucks
"This is definitely one of the better albums that you will hear this year." - Legends Arising
"The first notes of 'Upstream' grab your attention immediately. A happy lead introduces the track followed by a darker riff that initiates a song that will stick in your head. 'Upstream' is the perfect example what this album holds in store; a melodic rock sound with screaming vocals, and lyrics that have a positive message." - xclusivex
"Digging into Distance & Devotion is a lot of fun, it's a record that you can get into on the first listen, but also one that you can spin time and time again. These guys have a pretty distinct formula, using liberal doses of punk to keep prog rock instrumentations in check. The thing is, Anchor speak to the human experience with songs that are more complicated than meets the eye. With positive lyrics and anthemic choruses, I am truly excited to delve into the discography of these modern day rock and roll saviours." - Two Guys Metal Reviews
"Distance & Devotion sure is the most accessible Anchor record to date with an universal message and addictive hooks." - Some Will Never Know (rate:85/100)
"Hardcore muss nicht immer nur Gebolze und Geschredder sein. Das unterstreichen Anchor mit "Distance & Devotion" auf eindrucksvolle Art. Manchmal reichen die kleinen aber feinen Raffinessen um ein Album zu etwas Besonderem zu machen. Manchmal reichen auch geringfügige Einschläge und die damit verbundene Veränderung um ein Album mit einem neuen Sound zu verzieren. Anchor wissen wie." - Stageload.org (rate:6/8)
"På tredje albumet låter bandet effektivt medryckande. De snörar på sig löparskorna och plöjer på i samma fotspår som Gallows och Snapcase, och det handlar egentligen lika mycket om sammanbiten rock som hardcore." - Close Up Magazine (rate:7/10)
"Distance & Devotion" is Anchor's third and most ambitious full-length. The album came out in April 2015 but was recorded back in 2013. Their dedication in polishing their sound is definitely worth the effort." - DIY Conspiracy
