The album was record live in front of an audience in Vancouver's historic Astoria Hotel as a one-off performance during Haino's 2019 North American tour.

In a press release for the album described the recording as, "a musical unit bouncing unfiltered ideas off of one another, mining a trove of textures and timbres from their armory to buoy and bolster these living and breathing pieces.

Writing for AllMusic, Paul Simpson gave the album a four-out-of-five-star review, concluding: "The entire recording has a more controlled sense of tension and release than the artists' previous collaborations, and both its sprawling valleys and electrifying peaks are equally mesmerizing.

"[3] Writing for The Quietus, Daryl Worthington's review of Into This Juvenile Apocalypse stated: "The noise rock embodiment of precarity, perhaps, fraying at the edges, almost breaking, but somehow just about managing to stay above water.

"[4] Writing for Treblezine, Langdon Hickman described the album as, "a record that lives up to any given avant-rock or avant-metal great, even by these esteemed players' own robust back catalogs, while also being a record of their furthest mastery of the bleeding edge of jazz and this type of hardcore, prog and metal to date.
