Reception
Dan Slessor of Kerrang! remarked, "Whatever, this will undoubtedly trigger massive mosh pits the world over when unleashed on capacity crowds, and the band will continue to grow their fanbase," giving it a rating of three out of five.Distorted Sound referred to the album as "an all out ride through the depths of hell and the high heavens", rating it eight out of ten and stating "It's quite rare to get a deathcore album that's both equal parts horrendously perverse and frighteningly beautiful".
Blabbermouth assigned it a rating of 8.5 out of ten and describing it as "an album of songs that wrench the genre's usual tropes in jolting, unsavory directions", in addition to commenting that it is "hellishly heavy but oddly refined, this is modern heavy music forced to a sanity-threatening breaking point, belched out with unstoppable bravado."
