The album has received positive reviews.

"It's always difficult to predict how putative 'supergroups' like this are going to turn out. Quite often, if we're being brutally honest, the chemistry between the members simply isn't there. But, as Splinters from an Ever-Changing Face goes to show, when it is, the resultant reaction is nothing short of explosive."

— Andy Synn, [3]

Musical style

[edit | edit source]

The album has been described as metalcore and hardcore punk, with mathcore and black metal influences, with Paul travers of Kerrang! saying "It's a relentless album that turns vicious ugliness into something quite beautiful".[6] while Adam Rees of New Noise Magazine said the album "is a debilitating hardcore onslaught".[8]
