New Noise described the band and album as “clearly at the head of the modern death metal pack,” while
Dead Rhetoric noted that the band “continues to push the boundaries when it comes to atmosphere and progression.” Meanwhile,
Exclaim! enthused that “the record is ruthless from beginning to end, giving listeners sparse calmness one moment before unleashing another intense flurry of brutality the next.”
The band also spoke about Dear Desolation in depth with Decibel. Learn more about the process and story behind the album by reading the feature here.
