| | | Dominion of chaos by Musketeer of death (NL) | |
| | | Prejudice don’t let the grass grow under your feet. After a short intro they blast you away with a massive wall of sound. From the first tones it’s clear these experienced Belgian freaks have reached a new milestone in their history. Their brutal technical death metal shatters by an enormous high intensity of brutality and power and contains major dazzling bone-breaking structures. The dirty venomous guitars are full of fabulous riffs and killer solo's. The drums are glorious tight drums and are overloaded with insane blastbeats. The intense vibrating 4-string gives it all a nice groove and all is crowned with a filthy brutal grunt. Worth mentioning are the guest vocals from Ronald Camonier (Polluted Inheritance) on "Unobtrusive hatebreed". It’s not always easy to listen to, but it feels so damn fine! Especially when you give the album the time to grow. And believe me, it doesn’t need that much time. The 8 songs and an intermezzo have a total length of 31:37, which is a little short for this great shit. On the other hand, there are a lot of classics that don't clock more minutes! "Dominion of chaos" is a real slap in the face. It's their most brutal, most hard and definitely best album till now. |

| | | Dominion of chaos by Extreem music (SP) | |
| | | PREJUDICE is another band coming to prove that the "american" and "Brutal Death" terms don't always have to be put together, and that in Europe can also be made brutal music with an own style, and without copying what comes from the other side of the Atlantic. Nevertheless, brutality is only a side remaining completely on the background behind the technical deployment they vaunt, undoubtedly the distinctive remark of this Belgian quartet. It's like they've took the first SINISTER albums, pushing the brutality of "Diabolical Summoning" up to the SUFFOCATION levels, and the complexity of "Hate" up to the MESHUGGAH levels. The case is that listening to this album is not an easy task, and is required an extra input from the listener to make it into the music. Although lasting only thirty-one minutes, when the music is over you'll think it has been the double of time, because the genious of this band makes them able to build the tracks' structures as if they were multimensional nets, in such a way that behind every moment hide a lot of parallel sensations. Since there's not one single riff above five seconds, or repeating again, the final result is, besides complex, dynamic, almost frantic. I don't think there are many bands of such compositive quality nowadays, and being also so brutal and original. |

| | | Dominion of chaos by Holocaust zine (Peru) | |
| | | Fucking great! Pure fucking brutal Death Metal! Prejudice has done its best for this album, guitar solos from hell ala Vader, Morbid Angel sometimes and destructive drums ala Krisiun!! Some bass touches that give the pause to this armageddon. This album is really amazing! The mixing work is very good because you can identify each riff over the holocaustik drum sound. Is a human being on the drums? Man, Prejudice takes Brutal Death Metal to another dimension! Get this album or suffer!!! |

| | | Dominion of chaos by Fleshrites (SP) | |
| | | Thirth album from the belgium act Prejudice, that pushed out their bassist and recorded this work as four player combo: voice, drums and double guitars, with the change of sound it must be done for keeping the general main one of the band, heavier and deep on guitars, but high on mids at the same time, that provides a harder, rawer, savager sound. This fact joined to that the band plays technical brutal death makes this work the most smashing one from the band, and hard to listen at first, due the complex of riffing (and if you don´t believe me, go and see them live!).
Influences. Many. From Suffocation, Meshuggah, Sinister, Deeds Of Flesh and so on. As you can notice, those bands can play more than two chords!. And the same with Prejudice that puts their music high on riffing changes, perfect for snappin´ your neck!

| | | Domionion of chaos by Metalfan (NL) | |
| | | Onlangs trad deze Belgische band op met Hate Eternal, Deeds of Flesh en Dying Fetus. Die optredens stonden in het teken van hun nieuwe album 'Dominion of chaos'. Het is weeral het derde album van deze band dat wederom wordt gedomineerd door brute maar technische death metal.
De band heeft invloeden van klassieke death metal bands als Suffocation in haar sound verwerkt maar ze hebben ook geluisterd naar moderne death metal als bijvoorbeeld het Franse Scarve. Buiten een kort intermezzo staan er maar 7 (korte) echte nummers op dit schijfje. Op zich is dat wel een beetje weinig maar als je elk nummer volpropt met tempowisselingen, tegendraadse riffs en vage solo's dan hoor je mij niet klagen.
Tijdens brute nummers als 'Suffer' en 'Convicted' kan ik echt niet stilzitten. Dit album is een beetje te vergelijken met een bubbelbad; elke luisterbeurt komen er nieuwe elementen opborrelen die je nog niet eerder hoorde, het voelt steeds warm aan, heeft een broeierig karakter en werkt ontspannend.
Dit is de beste release afkomstig uit mijn thuisland die ik in maanden hoorde. Brute maar toch slimme nummers. Alleen de grunt mag nog wel wat dieper (maar dat is meer persoonlijke smaak) en de nummers mogen wel ietsjes langer doorhakken. Check zeker eens hun erg mooie website en als deze band in het plaatselijk metalzaaltje speelt, blijf dan niet voor televisie hangen, maar ga dan gewoon kijken. Geschikt voor liefhebbers van Scarve tot Morbid Angel.
Score: 80 / 100
