“BOLERO’s music is a pure onslaught of triumphantly epic Celtic metal that crushes the boundaries of modern metal.” – The New Review
“Voyage from Vinland is an extremely enjoyable album, and it certainly brings back memories of my first encounter with bands such as Ensiferum, with the catchiness and the heroic feel of the music.” – HeavyMetalTribune.com
“A damn good debut for giving boring folk metal a run for its money, and creating a sound all their own. From now on, expect great things from Canadian-Celtic hotshots Bolero... with song titles like “Pints Held High” and “O’ Hail to the Northlander,” one can tell they are in for a uplifting show of the relatively untapped primal strength of nature...If Celts are cool, then Bolero itself is even cooler.” - The New Review – 4/5
“What we'll find in this album? Epic, very epic,… A perfect album for fans of the genre and for all fans of Melodic Death.” – Satanarise.com
