Reception and legacy
Eduardo Rivadavia of Loudwire said in 2015: "Musically, the quintet shared Morbid Angel’s penchant for technical mastery, concentrated power, and intellectual heresy, and they probably languished in their shadow, as a result. But 1992’s Imperial Doom was a death metal humdinger in its own right, full of promising qualities that were unfortunately derailed when Monstrosity’s lineup collapsed, killing all their momentum."[2] Joe DiVita, also writing for Loudwire, said in 2017: "This one gets a little lost among the all-time classics Florida would produce in a short timespan, but Imperial Doom still holds up as a scavenging dose of death metal for those days when the old standbys feel a little worn out."[3]
