Critical reception

After 25 years since their previous release The Danse Society "return with arguably their finest ever moment".[1] New vocalist Maethelyiah replaces the missing Steve Rawlings, and Paul Nash fills in on bass as well as guitars. Terrorizer says "this still feels like a bold step forward, unfettered from the past".[2] I DIe You Die says "As a modern goth record, Change Of Skin is perfectly decent" [3] and Poponaut says "Stunning vocals as well as looks now complement the bands always original dark and powerful sound" [4]
