4.5 superb | ajcollins15 | September 1st 21 | Honestly, we might need a new genre name for this new wave of deathcore. Just like with the new Brand of Sacrifice record this electronic-based and basically over-produced deathcore sound is making me re-fall in love with metalcore and deathcore. I was never a fan of the early deathcore, but what makes that and what makes this new Darko album so great is the versatility and the passion. Much of the metalcore and deathcore scene became oversaturated with clones of Architecture and Converge that the spirit and energy of the genre were lost. Darko brings that aggressive and explosive energy back on their debut album and damn is it great. Honestly, the only downfall is the random interlude that lasts too long at the end of the record, but it still is a nice breath before the brutal ending. Post-deathcore is here, and I am all for it.

4.0 excellent | iGuter | May 8th 21 | The hype for this album was unreal, and it finally payed off in the end. Dethmask proved what this project could be; honestly, it exceeds that expectation with tracks that slap so hard it could signal a new wave of change in the genre. Generally, what I found so interesting in this album was the ferocity that I found infectious.

4.5 superb | jw | September 2nd 21 | Album is thick, dense, heavy; it is a nightmare filled with hooks and breakdowns. Really well done, regardless of what the LP's average sits at. I agree with opinions that believe this fits within a subgenre-paradigm shift. Really good use of electronic/synths that develop both atmosphere and leading/rhythmic parts. Tom's vocals, in my opinion, surpass his work with Chelsea Grin and Lorna Shore. Some parallels with vocal performance and formula between Darko and Lorna Shore, but I think Darko is much more listenable, current, and to the point.
