"The piece (Stratolith) incorporates elements of soulful doom, prog, and technical metal with a strong emphasis on melodic lines that serve as a kind of vehicle for this bold interstellar journey. Without words, they conjure a soundscape that simply spells adventure." - Doomed and Stoned
"Milwaukee instrumental band with a kind of proggy post metal grungy/stonerish doom sound." - The Moshpit - WORT 89.9 FM (Madison, WI)
"Instrumental, progressive, and technical metal fans take note" - The Prog Space
"“Perihelion” – is the term for the point in Earth’s orbit when it is closest to the sun, and Deorbit translates this into the most aggressive track on the new album. Fans of challenging, uplifting artists such as Torche, Intronaut, and Voivod will love Deorbit. With dramatic movements and expert instrumentation, the bands music not only takes you on an other-worldly journey, but exploring the contemplative innerspaces you have as well." - Ghost Cult Magazine
"Retrogradient is an auditory adventure and a cosmic voyage that challenges the boundaries of conventional music, inviting enthusiasts to embark on a journey through the vast realms of the universe and the depths of human understanding." - Amplify The Noise
"“Each track on “Retrogradient” is an artistic depiction of surreal aspects, aiming to merge the cold, expansive nature of the universe with the warmth of human understanding. Without the use of lyrics, Deorbit’s music tells a unique story within each composition, allowing listeners the freedom to interpret the profound concepts presented... This is an excellent debut album... The tunes are fucking massive and the concept a fun one to play with in the imagination. Clearly the guys can play... The entirely arbitrary Patented Dark Juan Blood Splat Rating System awards Deorbit 8/10 for what is a superb debut which is bursting with potential and great music...” 8/10 - Ever Metal
"This is a distinctly heavy set affair throughout, but the defining aspect of the album as a whole can be summarized in the word motion. We get energetic surges or drop downs in tempo by the drummer. The guitars may slow down or speed up independent of what the rhythm section are doing, and alterations from rhythm based riffs to flowing riff textures and back are pulled off in a fluid and seamless manner. What I presume is a dulcimer may chime in with some world music details beneath at times too, and in between all of this the songs themselves may shift between thrash and even a bit of extreme metal in overall direction just as much as stepping down to more traditional heavy metal or doom metal territories. With occasional side steps into gentler and more atmospheric laden territories. If a heavy set variety of progressive metal where a just about constant and fluid motion and movement are key features strikes you as an interesting manner in which to explore this style of music, this is an album to take note of." - Progressor.net
"No words will be spoken in this interstellar journey as rich as tortuous, with generous melodies and harmonies behind a certain sense of narration. Retrogradient is revealed as an album with finely composed titles, blowing hot and cold, sometimes epic, sometimes more contemplative, in short not to let go and then to interpret as he pleases. Fasten your belts !" - Eklektik Rock
