Lords of Metal described At First's music as 'Sounds of revolution against the status quo'. Well, they are back to revolt again. Never afraid to mix genres and dive into difficult subjects. With a variety of sounds and singing styles, At First tells a story that will keep you interested. Growling riffs are accompanied by alternate grooves creating a modern metal sound. The band's influences vary from bands like Alter Bridge to Rage Against The Machine and Spiritbox to Northlane.
The band sounds like it has been in this scene for years. While listening to the album it is very difficult to keep your head still or keep your air guitar away. ”– Rockmuzine
“Jochems is a power woman who stands her ground. Fortunately, the music is not inferior to that. On the contrary, she is supported by an extremely talented band that is clearly familiar with multiple genres and has no trouble switching between them. ” – Festivalinfo.nl
