4.0 excellentGamamJ | August 7th 20

Expecting typical wanky Tech-death, Psycroptic surprised me with their relentless brand of Cryptopsy-level chaotic and brutal DM. Yet much like Cryptopsy, their music still manages to contain a sea of technicality and jazzy writing. The vocal range too is mad.

3.0 goodJ.C. van Beekum | June 25th 20

The pinnacle of a band whose approach to technical death metal was never impressive enough to reach beyond this meagre apex of their sound.

3.0 goodReini Eden | June 11th 18

I do enjoy this more than the debut, just like the last album the vocals are udder garbage. But the instrumentation makes me ignore them very easily. Also just like the last one decent.

Excellent blend of groove, technicality and brutality. An essential addition to any death metal collection.
