In March 2011, our City Of Steel album received critical acclaim in the world-renowned UK heavy metal magazine Metal Hammer. The review of the album reads as follows:

"UNTIMELY Demise's debut album is full of dynamic riffs, all of which lay the foundations for a promising continuation to the Canadians' young career. Virtue In Defeat and Hunting Evil get everything off to a rousing start, with Matt Cuthbertson's vocals proving he owes quite a lot to the influence of Kreator's Mille Petrozza. The trio also hint at Carcass and At The Gates, in that they can be very melodic without ever compromising their brutal impact. Unmaker is a fine example of this, Matt's intricate guitar work complementing the rhythmic ferocity of bassist Murray Cuthbertson and drummer Scott Cross. Untimely Demise have pulled off the impressive trick of making their complex music sound easy. [7/10]
