Aardschok, NL (85 / 100, 10 x eremetaal) "You can trust Officium Triste when it comes to doom / death. If you liked the earlier work from these Rotterdoomers, you'll surely like 'Giving Yourself Away'".

Oor, NL "Just like on the magnificently saddening 'Reason' from 2004, the five bandmembers drag themselves through a vale of tears of slowed down Black Sabbath riffs, massive rhythms and sombre dreamlike melodies. Cleanly sung lamentations and ferocious growling follows the dynamics of the songs and the repetition gives them additional impact. In no more than six songs, with a total running time of over forty five minutes of music, Officium Triste secures their place amongst the world's best".

Mindview, BE (6 / 7) "Netherland's bright light in sad times take the direction from their excellent 2004 album 'Reason' and further expand their sound. The result is heartwrenching, supermelancholic doom metal".

Exterminal(9,5 / 10) "It is definitely a creation revealing their talent and creativeness".

Metallinks, NL (8,5 / 10) "With their new album they prove they are still the Doom / Death leaders from the Netherlands."

Masterful Magazine (8 / 10) "Officium Triste has delivered yet another strong record with 'Giving Yourself Away' and it will surely appeal to those who like their doom metal oppressive yet somberly melodic".

Kerrang Magazine (8 / 10) "Officium Triste pile on the moody grief in a despondant, but enjoyable My Dying Bride way, building each track out of bleak melodies and roaring, slow heaviness, interwined with the occasional moment of beauty".

Stalker (8.5 / 10) " "My Charcoal Heart" will put a smile on the faces of early My Dying Bride fans, and "Signals" could be a track of the ultimate Goth band Fields Of The Nephilim, before their Industrial phase. An outstanding Doom Metal CD!".
