Grenouer "is the most impressive metal statement from an unlikely source," Steve Beebee wrote in 2009, reviewing the album for Kerrang!

The fifth album Try was released worldwide in Great Britain by Casket Music (a division of Copro Records), that displayed these influences yet some fans of brutal death metal felt as if Grenouer was betraying their ideals.

's Ryan Bird wrote of Presence With War (released in 2009 in the UK) Unforgiving to the end, this is metal at its most genuinely ferocious," in another 4K-rating review.

After this record, the band would take their music in a more melodic direction starting with 2013's Blood on the Face, cutting out harsh vocals on their songs in favor of exclusively clean singing, which they've stuck with since.

In 2004, the Mayor of Kemerovo banned Grenouer's concert the very same day they arrived at the city, allegedly for the advocacy of violence.
