NORTHLESS - LIGHT BEARER Split LP
NORTHLESS makes the March '11 Bleeders List on metalsucks.net
Corey Mitchell at metalsucks.net has Clandestine Abuse on his March list of bleeders, which is good. He had some very nice things to say about us as well.
Sad that Isis is no more? Pick up Clandestine Abuse and realize the post-future is still here; it’s just been slightly revamped with more melody and even more brutal crushitude."

Clandestine Abuse Review - Don't Count On It Reviews
Don't Count On It Reviews had some kind words to say about Clandestine Abuse
"It's honestly a nice example of a slower band, and I'm referring to newer bands here, going out on a limb and trying out some new ideas instead of trying to be just doom, just sludge, just post-metal. Hence the repeated use of the word crushing, it's on tracks like Damnation that I found that word applied the most, what with it's heavy grooves and intense drumming."... Read More

NORTHLESS: Milwaukee sludge-metal band, Chicago 10 oz. hamburger
The AV Club's own DJ Hostettler made the trip to sample the NORTHLESS burger at kuma's corner, and the full review can be found here.
"The Northless, our well-inked server explained, is Kuma’s version of a butter burger, and the herbed garlic butter definitely made it one of the sloppiest we’ve partaken in at Kuma’s. The coulis brought a slight level of heat to the burger, and mixed with the onion puree to deliver a... Read More

Clandestine Abuse Review in Decibel Magazine
Clandestine Abuse - This Record Rules - Decibel Magazine
"Guitarist Erik Stenglein’s voice is a heaving yawp reminiscent of Crowbar only in the way that his gargling with charcoal vocals is just one of those roars that can only issue forth from a heavyweight, a guy who likely intimidates in his sleep.

Inside Milwaukee review of Clandestine Abuse
REVIEW: NORTHLESS -- CLANDESTINE ABUSE
"The record wastes not more than three seconds before inciting the almost hour-long blitzkrieg. Thereafter, the sonic cityscape is peppered with a bombardment of jagged screams, crushing cymbals and a muddy smattering of metallic thunder.

"This is an album so overblown, so dense, and so thick with noise that it’s a wonder it can be sussed out by human ears. Guitars violently riff, vocals growl forth from the din, and drums explode and crumble away into static. Claiming this album could peel the paint off walls does it a great disservice—this shit could peel the primer."
