"This is an album where you'll want to sit down and make time for it. It's thoughtful and quasi-experimental, and really requires all of your listening faculties at work to really get at what Inter Arma is doing here. You have to give points to Inter Arma for their ambition. Even though "The Cavern" does boast multiple false endings, and you could argue that it could use a bit of a trim, you do have to marvel in the fact that this is grand in scope. Inter Arma is stretching out, doing something daring, and even if the long song isn't exactly new in metal circles, it does still feel like something of a novelty".

"The Cavern, Inter Arma's first single-song EP. Though the track lasts for 46 minutes, it feels like a condensed and uncompromising version of the quintet's prevailing vision. The band climbs a slope of increasing momentum, where every step seems to find the action growing bigger and bolder. Though these kind of hour-long escapades can often suggest stunts by an act eager for a convenient concept and quick adulation, The Cavern feels like what Inter Arma should have done all along-fade into a piece, rip through an idea without hesitation, fade out of the piece, repeat".
