Reception

A review on Sonic Perspectives considered it a perfect followup to 2012s As Above, So Below, stating how "Angel Witch returns with an album chock full of riffs and doomy atmosphere to please even the most avid fan of the band." And that it feels more like a direct follow-up to their 80s Angel Witch than anything else.[3]
