New Transcendence9/10[3]

New Transcendence gave the album an almost perfect score 9/10 and saying: "In a word, Imminence are unique. Creative, crushing and catchy, they seamlessly stitch together the rough, warm cloth of metalcore with the smooth, thin silk of post-hardcore, making I a quilt that the listener will be anxious to wrap themselves in after a day in the freezing cold of monotonous metalcore."[3]
