Reception

Andrew McMillen of The Australian said, "At times, the third album by this Adelaide hard rock trio feels like the heaviest set of songs ever recorded, both musically and lyrically. An unrelenting work of precise arrangement and machinelike performance, it grips you from the very first note and doesn't let up for 55 minutes."^[2]
