Reception
editWriting for Metal Injection, Max Heilman gave this album an 8 out of 10, calling it a "balance of weighty riffs, stirring soundscapes, and ghoulish vocals" and stating that the "songwriting remains at the core of the proceedings, giving tastefulness to match the rawness".[1] Mandy Scythe of Metal Sucks rated this release a 4 out of 5 for being "both intimate and expansive, dark and light" and continuing that each song is memorable.[2] Editors at Stereogum chose this for Album of the Week, with critic Brad Sanders stating that the music "doesn’t shift between black metal and doom so much as it brings them into union" in a way that is "more instinctive than technical, more about finding emotional commonalities between doom’s depressive depths and black metal’s blazing fire".[3]
