"Backing up their morose worldview is ferocious grind a la Napalm, Death, Nasum, Pig Destroyer and other forms of Deci-boner-popping musical viagra." - Decibel Magazine
"Brutally efficient grindcore, twenty short, sharp, shocks' worth of whiplash headbanging complete with vividly misanthropic lyrics, precision unison riffing, and a solid line in double-time blastbeat drumming..." - Allmusic
"It's a damn shame their status in the grind world isn't higher. This is truly devastating on all levels..." - Metal-archives
"their most diverse and dynamic, fastest and angriest, but most cohesive recording in loose tribute to Nasum, Napalm Death, and the end of humanity" - Outburn
"uncontrollably vicious" - American
Aftermath 10/10
