[2] Alternative Press rated the album 3 out of 5 and said: "While their contemporaries may opt for subtler synth lines and catchy riffs, Crossfaith use programming as intensely as metal technicality on Apocalyze.

Programmer Tamano Terufumi breaks out dubstep tropes like low-end wobbles and drops, but don't expect glowing hula hoops over jumpkicks in a Crossfaith pit anytime soon.

Like their contemporaries MUCC and DIR EN GREY, this band isn't afraid to dabble, tinker and stretch boundaries largely borrowed from the western sanction.

scored the album 9 out of 10 and said: "Apocalyze has undoubtedly raised the bar exceedingly high, and it wouldn't be unfair to view their position on the metalcore heap rather insurmountable.

"[5] Scrussel from KillYourStereo gave the album 82 out of 100 and said: "Crossfaith's brand of metal fused with electronic elements is an effective mix, and one that isn't too overdone that is just becomes a mess.

Whilst most bands tended to just throw in the odd electronic section in, Crossfaith completely balance the two elements out, making Apocalyze one of the most refreshing Metalcore albums in recent years.
