Nick Habisch of Sputnik Music states: "Overall, As They Sleep has released a very solid Death Metal album.

[5] Steve at Indie Vision Music says: "This is one of the best pure metal albums released this year.

It is hard to believe that a band with this much talent could slip through the cracks for so long, but they are here now and ready to kick your teeth in.

As stated by Vocalist Aaron Bridgewater, the album talks about the rise and fall of ancient civilizations up to present time.

[6][7] The song "The Third Reich", for instance, talks about Adolf Hitler's squadron and how they massacred many people in their strikes.
