"One does not expect to find soulful jams on a recording with the word “Satan” in its title, but in the world of John Zorn such juxtapositions are not uncommon. The ninth outing of Zorn’s power trio Simulacrum, Nostradamus: The Death of Satan shows a more varied and mature cohesion between organist John Medeski, drummer Kenny Grohowski, and guitarist Matt Hollenberg. Indeed, Flowers of Heaven includes a blues vamp over which Hollenberg solos in like fashion, then he and Medeski gently trade leads." (Avantmusicnews)
