4.0 excellent | BtwntheAKIRAndMe | July 31st 15 | Mid 8 out of 10: Krallice has certainly changed up style on their new LP, bringing in some influences of punk and noise to the table. We even see the return of Mick Barr on vocals! None of this is a bad thing at all though, as this LP turns into quite the beast.

3.0 good | Erwann S. STAFF | February 2nd 22 | Only 35 minutes long: thank you Krallice! With more evident death metal influences - hey Colin do you know that Gorguts band??? -, the band slightly modifies their headfuckery while still keeping their riffz and organic production. Still don't find this mega interesting, but the short runtime is a big yes.

3.0 good | TheManMachine | October 21st 15 | They've got the vigor and the skill and the scuzz -- and with the exception of the more-traceable non-6:41 death metal-leaner bookends, the majority comes off like a confounding train-wreck, though ofttimes not in a good way. Not to say it's without bits of section here and pieces of passage there of pop-up enthrallment that burst out from these trails of incongruity, but spasmodic bedlam devours all. Vocals that periodically attempt to reside either have no choice but to surrender or get squeezed out, bass primarily serves as an occasional belcher. Let's hear it for that drummer, though.

4.5 superb | Alabaster Jones | August 19th 15 | Avant-garde black metal band Krallice have received their fair share of praise and criticism over the years. Many praise their abilities with their respective instruments and appreciate the anti-traditionalist view they hold of black metal. Others dismiss them as self-indulgent, with no understanding of what black metal actually is or what it stands for. For my part, I've considered Krallice quite talented, but occasionally directionless. That being said, this new record of theirs is far from directionless, and offers a new take on the established Krallice sound. Yes, there are hyper-fast tremolo riffs and blast beats galore, but one of the coolest things about this record is how it constantly walks the line between black metal and death metal, never straying too far into one style. This means that slower, more atmospheric playing is incorporated, especially on the opener "Idols". The vocals, though sparse, sound wonderful, and the guitars are as absorbingly fun as ever. With this release, Krallice tighten their game, and the end result is quite enjoyable.

4.5 superb | Metaltronic | July 30th 15 | Slightly disappointed at how short this is compared to their other albums, but this is still exactly what you'd want from a Krallice album. Dense, cacophonous, sporadic, and head splitting. Also nice to see the screams coming back more; I like the howls but it's good to have some variation in the vocals.
