Reception

Metal Reviews gave the album a positive review, saying "Without a doubt, this is the best material that I've heard from the band to date."[2] Last Rites was similarly positive, praising the album as "the perfect escape for those looking for some toe-tapping, uplifting heavy metal". However, the website was critical of some of its songs, stating that they "feature[d] the kind of cringe-worthy lyrics that really make you wish some of these bands would sing in their native tongues".[3]
