"From opener "A New Day Will Rise" on, there is minimal respite from the full-on, brutal assault of uptempo, ultra-precise tech-death drumming and expert riffage/shreddy guitar soloing that will melt just about any face. No, this isn't the smartest collection of tunes you'll hear this year, but it certainly ain't the dumbest either, and there is a tasteful simplicity to the album's stripped-down songwriting".

"The razor-sharp "Where is Your God Now?" showcases the band's blackened style, with relentless speed and frontman Johnny Hedlund's sinister vocals. "The Bolt Thrower" contains the perfect '90s Swedish death metal-esque balance of brutality and melody, while "Where Churches Once Burned" combines black and death styles with unique tones and an eerie atmosphere. The title track is a slow, menacing dirge before Unleashed finish the album off with a powerful hammer-strike to take you to Valhalla, "Welcome the Son of Thor!" (Nuclear Blast)".
