✦✦✦✧ Wow. Just when I think I’ve got a handle on what APMD is all about, they go and weave more musicality into their caustic cacophony. The nihilistic anger is constant, but the band have found ways to explore their domain, and the result is more surprising, listenable, compelling, and yes heavy than anything they’ve done before.

★★★☆ This is another blistering Kurt Ballou production, so you know it’s going to be an aural onslaught. And yet, there is a deftness and pacing to this album. I wouldn’t call it subtle, but it’s still a cruel delight from start to finish.
