"The music present on Hail Death shows more similarities to the new breed of driving blackened metal it sprang up around, acts like Cobalt or Trap Them, whose vibe is similarly stark and urban. The atmosphere on the record is huge and diabolical, but in no way the gothic or romantic path of the genre's Scandinavian forefathers. More so, the band has refreshed themselves through groaning riffs, echoing gang vocals, and slamming percussion, making the album far easier to remain interested in throughout than 2010's sometimes-repetitive Triumvirate. As a whole, Hail Death possesses music that is bother tighter and more diverse than that of its predecessors, which is no easy task within black metal".

"This record is expansive, incorporating the things that made fans fall in love with them, but providing a three dimensional diorama of sound that is both simple, but has depth of feel with its gang vocals, tremolo picking and a mixture of tempos regulated by intense drumming, blast beat, d-beat... it hits a little bit of everything. Some would consider this a hodgepodge of styles that are symptomatic of a band that can't seem to find their feet, yet it listens like the most cohesive thing Black Anvil ever accomplished".
