Background

edit

The album was produced by Christopher Mora[2] while being recorded and written over eight weeks with guitarist Ruben Alvarez's younger brother Thomas Alvarez.[3]

Critical reception

edit

Max Morin of Exclaim! describes the album as "about as back-to-roots as it gets" going on to say that the work "sounds like a bunch of Pantera and Lamb of God fans playing in a backyard in 2010".[3]

Dan McHugh of Distorted Sound Magazine stated that '[song] "Southern Hostility" skips the pleasantries by greeting you with an utterly savage intro/breakdown before King Of Diamonds smothers you in groove infused riffing and a bouncy tempo'.[5][6]
