Reception

edit

In Exclaim!, Chris Ayers gave this album an 8 out of 10, calling it "funeral doom for Pallbearer fans, but more cerebral for Mortiferum acolytes";[1] the publication also listed it on "25 Great Canadian Albums You Might Have Missed in 2021" with Tom Piekarski telling readers that the album "mesmerizes with its flanged guitar leads, gothic 12-string passages and richly harmonic fretless bass lines".[2] Writing for Pitchfork Media, Sam Goldner gave this release a 7.8 out of 10, writing that one of its "gripping qualities" is "how much of it completely does away with death metal riffage altogether" and the final track shows "how emotionally boundless metal can be".[3]
