Buy Description Tracklist Reviews
"But aside from a few harder-hitting numbers like the theatrical, Jefferson Airplane/Moody Blues-evoking 'Near and Far,' the psychedelic, wah-wah and hand-tom powered 'JackOh the Green,' and the lighthearted, loopy 'Ecstasy in Shadow Green,' the LP is less punchy and propulsive than its predecessor [Violent Sagas of the Ancients], boasting plusher and more atmospheric production." -
The Big Takeover
"The truly wonderful thing about REPTIEL beyond their obvious musical virtuosity, storytelling abilities and organic creativity is that their music reaches a diverse audience. Fans of sci-fi, fantasty, prog rock, and indie rock can find a niche for themselves in Hobbitozz...A Land That Never Was." -
Music for Lunch
"I was first exposed to Reptiel when I reviewed their 2013 Violent Sagas Of The Ancients
. The band immediately struck me as something unique with their fantasy themes that fell somewhere between Heavy Metal
(the movie) and Spinal Tap that was done in such a way that had some levity but wasn’t a joke. The music fell somewhere between prog, psychedelic and classic rock most of the time but also had enough distinct qualities that the band was able to create a unique sound...Hobbitozz ... A Land That Never Was
is a great achievement and I appreciate their tenacity." -
