"The six-piece belt out a unique brand of eerie carnival-styled metal, combiningthe industrial effects of a keyboard with pulsating drumbeats."
Maree Bedford - Time Off Magazine "Their style of death metal meets Mr. Bungle got some response from the crowd,which had almost doubled by the end of their 30 minute opening set."
Simon Milburn - Rave Magazine "Headkase slam out a heavy set of metal tracks with keyboard effects, hammering drum beats, evil clown masks and a menacing stage demeanour" ... "by the closing track, 'Murdered And Dumped In The Willow', the punters are clearly oozing adrenalin."
Time Off Magazine "Headkase brought their Slipknot meets Mr. Bungle nuttiness to the indoor stage ... "one just had to admire their tight and powerful sound, their energy and showmanship."
Shaun Nancarrow - Rave Magazine "Like a dirty bomb in Disneyland, Headkase have the potential to cause panic. The good sound and physical depth of the Paddington bunker provided a safe haven for the freak-metal act, with the genre traversing track Cocaine & Caffeine a highlight."
James Stafford - Rave Magazine
