ASSACRE is a one-insane-man metal band.  ~ Spin Magazine, July 2006ASSACRE is but one man, but he wails like a metal symphony: thrashing guitar riffs interspersed with teeth-chattering beats and disturbing glimpses of humanity. Prog metal meets performance art...ASSACRE’s combination of classic metal and samples from evangeslist sermons, vintage TV shows, and sound effects brings metal out of the bonehead genre into a thinking man’s game.  ~ Darcie Stevens, The Austin Chronicle, January 2006"Gay" gets thrown around the metal world pretty casually as a general insult or as a catch-all for all that is not metal. Ben Aqua, AKA ASSACRE, throws a wrench into that by being an openly gay artist working with metal aesthetics.  ~ Punk Planet, Issue 73Rob Halford, eat your heart out.  ~ Benjamin Leatherman, Phoenix New Times, August 2005
