Reception

James Hickle of Kerrang! calls this "a soundtrack to [frontman] Stu [Folsom]'s non-musical writing, combining galloping thrash, pummelling hardcore, swinging rock’n’roll, and lyrical preoccupations with the American frontier and Native American mythology into a concoction its creator calls ‘death western’" that he rates 4 out of 5. Louder Sound's Joe Daly rated this release 4 out of 5 stars, calling this album "a bloody dive into the Wild West" that features "chaotic tempos and grinding death metal riffs".
