[5] The EP has been roundly praised as one of the best metal releases of 2013 and "a breath of fresh air", and its success landed the band spots at major music festivals around the world.

[7][8] Stereogum named it the 12th best metal of 2013, writing that "Listening to Aura is like entering a warped atmosphere, a drunken look through a kaleidoscope with a blast beat foundation.

"Entranced By The Wolfshook" anchors the three-track EP, an all-too-short introduction to a band that has great things ahead".

"[8] Later that year the band performed at Maryland Deathfest, their first show in the United States, and later toured Latin America with Grave Miasma.

[9][10] In May 2016 it was confirmed that the band had entered the studio to record their debut full-length album Hero, to be released on Iron Bonehead and Invictus Productions later in 2016.

The album was dedicated to the memory of their recently deceased friend and fellow Swiss metal musician Domi Keller.

"[7] NPR Music compared the EP to Celtic Frost and Incantation, "fuelled by scrolls of complex riffs and drawn to doom.

"[3] Stereogum write that the band "draws from a different palette than most, with songs that buzz with otherwordly [sic] weirdness at much as they rip, thanks in large part to a warbling guitar tone and keyboards that push out big atonal and symphonic blasts".

He described the band's performance at Maryland Deathfest as his favourite moment of the festival, writing that they played "the two most exciting sets at MDF, managing to fill Ram's Head on both Friday and Saturday despite the otherwise-unmissable alternatives over at Edison Lot.

"[18] Metal Hammer gave their performance in London in 2015 a 9/10 rating, calling the band as "a prime example of hype being justified."

They went on to write that "The two-piece may have less than an hour of recorded music available, but they can put on show that the best metal bands around would struggle to match – no mean feat given the simplicity of the visual performance.
