“... a band from Lennik, Erato which could become an example for the Belgian Goth-scene...”(Goth Magazine)
“... at the end everybody was hungry for more, even some people were shouting for more. It'snot accidentally they won the Goth Rally. 1° by jury, 2° by public...” (Dark Entries Magazine)
“... Erato's music is melodic and various. Comparing Erato with another band is difficult, youcan put them between Deine Lakeien and Garden of Delight.” (Kagan)
“…If you like electro goth you must check out Erato and if you don't, check them out to. Youwill be surprised.” (Darker than the Bat)
“…Le groupe nous offre un très beau disque, qui ravira en tous cas les amateurs de gothic-rocksubtil et moderne. J'ai, pour résumer, vraiment eu un coup de coeur pour ce groupe etj'espère que les curieux qui tenteront l'expérience Erato seront aussi ravis que moi.” (PlanèteNoire)
“After several years and changes in the line up, an achieved work with excellent darkmelodies. Ready to get signed! -Rate: (DP:7/8)DP.” (Side-Line Magazine)
“Après une première démo de rêve sortie en 1996 (A Killed God), le premier CD d'Erato paraît avec trois ans de retard, en raison de changements de line-up. The Irreplaceable One,dont la plage titulaire est déjà un tube grâce à la compilation de Dark Entries, est un CD seplaçant au-dessus de la majorité des productions récentes du genre.”(Le Fantastique.net)
“Goth is dead? Not at all, Erato keeps 'gothic rock' alive and kicking by carefully injecting electronics into the cool guitar sound…they're back on their feet and with new songs like theirresistible 'The Irreplaceable One' they show gothic at its best.” (Dark Entries Magazine)
“… With their mix of electronic drums, synth lines and guitar parts they could easy appeal to abroad (gothic) audience. I won't be surprised if this isn't the last we hear of this band.”(GRUIS)
“This is definitely a Belgian band that needs more attention... You could see they were havinga lot of fun and especially the bass player was having a little party on his own in the back…(Caer Gwydeon)
“Het vijftal Erato fungeerde als opener en herinnerde ons er nog eens aan waarom zij weinigof geen concurrentie moeten vrezen in Vlaanderen wanneer het gaat om doorleefde,melancholische gothic rock. … Sterke performance van een groep die na al die jaren in de spreekwoordelijke marge zeker rijp is voor een deftig platencontract…” (DaMusic)
“Het opwarmen mocht, zoals het past en hoort, door een Belgische gothic rock act gebeuren.Nu, in België kun je die zowaar op één hand tellen en de naam Erato zal dan ook niemand echt vreemd meer zijn. Nu we in zekere zin een nieuwe interesse bespeuren vooral wat naargothic rock ruikt moet het een keer lukken voor deze sympathieke jongens! (DE Magazine)
Some of the studio works of ERATO sound a bit low-fi because of their demo character butlive it sounds much fuller and vivid, and their Dark Rock comes to a whole new life… And inWaregem, ERATO made sure that the third day of the festival started nicely with a quite enjoyable performance. Hope to see them more often on the bills of festivals like this one!(Reflections In Darkness webzine )
