"Broken Hope are back in the saddle...composed highlights such as the bestial 'The Bunker', the dynamic groove pendulum 'Outback Incest Clan', the dissonant, 'Russian Sleep Experiment' or the 'The Necropants' convey brutal energy in a powerful sound. Chicago's Death veterans are an interesting bridge to their 1991 debut, ending a solid inferno hit factor." - METAL HAMMER (DE/Germany)
"...the album is a delightfully brutal and disgusting sonic assault."
- KERRANG!
"The title track references the horror classic The Thing, and that sort of Lovecraftian body horror is at the center of why Broken Hope's horror metal works so well: they understand that a good monster needs to be scary, but it also needs nuance and times when you can catch your breath and ponder your futile existence. Mutilated and Assimilated nails that aesthetic, as the band's shape-shifting death melodic brutal death is a (horrifying) beauty to behold. Songs immediately sink their meat hooks into you and stay there for a while. This is the kind of gorefest that is meant to be savored, even if you'd rather look away. Broken Hope have, after all this time, crafted their sharpest statement of intent, and it's deadly, seriously, great." - New Noise Magazine
"Taking inspiration from the John Carpenter classic, Mutilated and Assimilated is not only the albums brilliant title track but a representation of the band themselves. Having once more mutilated songs from their original fleshing out to what we will now here on the album the band have crafted some of the heaviest and catchiest Death Metal you'll hear this year." - The Metalist
"While the jagged guitars and pummeling rhythms are as gentle as bandsaws, I was most impressed by Damian Leski's venomous vocals. The man sounds like he's getting in his regular 64 ounces of Drano on 'The Bunker' and 'Russian Sleep Experiment.' Mutilated and Assimilated, a reminder that it's Wagner and Company's bloody barbecue! and it still tastes good." - Ghostcult Magazine
"In terms of Death Metal albums in 2017, Broken Hope's Mutilated And Assimilated earns them top honours. Without further upheaval, CrypticRock gives this album 4.5 out of 5 stars." - CrypticRock.Com
"Sure, Mutilated and Assimilated honors Broken Hope's legacy and finds strength in the past-but it does so without dwelling in the afterbirth. The result is an inspired death metal record that feels like a lethal new mutation; like the creature from The Thing adapting to claim its next victim." - Decibel Magazine
