"Merkwürdig, spannend, faszinierend... und nicht so einfach einzuordnen ist das zweite Album von HEXER, das mit einem prächtigen Cover-Artwork aufwartet, welches zum Lauschangriff nahezu verpflichtet." - Thor Joakimsson /

"I hadn’t been hip to these guys from their prior releases, but this is a name I won’t be forgetting anytime soon. Realm… is a thoroughly impressive and complete listen, here’s to hoping for a vinyl release in the near future." – Heavy Blog is Heavy
"Hexer seem a criminally overlooked outfit to my mind and this, along with the debut, are a couple of the more interesting albums in the doom world from a band that, rather than trying to be cynical clones of earlier successful acts, are instead more interested in releasing personal and heartfelt expressions of a doom-centric view of the world and I say good luck to 'em!" - Metal Academy
"Lo que se dice un disco redondo, tal vez la única cosa que se echa en falta es un libreto más extenso para poder profundizar en la parte conceptual, por lo demás "Realm Of The Feathered Serpent" es una verdadera joya del underground." - Noizz webzine
