"Once there, they heeded the advice that closed out Only Constant: 'Navigate boldly, act with intent.' Those sessions birthed a five-song EP, Persona, that's bigger and bolder than anything they've recorded before."
"Singer Sami Kaiser digs up the repulsive, unflattering parts of their own subconscious with an honesty that verges on self-punishment; the title track's threat ('Don't forget your fucking place') sounds as much like an indictment of frauds as it does a self-reminder."
"EP highlight 'Shame' represents Gel's most notable growth with an embrace of studio production. The old metrics for 'selling out' in the '90s, long since expired in the punk world, are slowly draining out of the hardcore community, too."
