The album met with mixed to positive reviews. Sammy O'Hagar of
MetalSucks gave the album a positive review and praised its raw sound and production. He also compared the album's sound to other notable
second wave of black metal albums such as
Transilvanian Hunger by
Darkthrone and
De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by
Mayhem. He also described the album's tempo as "mid-paced", in contrast to other black metal acts such as
Satyricon,
1349 and
Anaal Nathrakh. Venien's vocals were also likened to those of
death metal, while the "rattling" guitar sound and noticeable basslines were noted. However, the reaction of Grayson Currin of
Pitchfork Media was mixed. He criticized the album's lack of progression and Venien's "bastardization" of Von's legacy although he also complimented on the album's
low-fidelity production, high-energy and enthusiasm. Death metal,
grindcore and
hardcore punk elements in the album were also noted. ==Track listing==
