The song was also released for free download prior to the release of the single on Avalanche Recordings' official website.[3][4]

Critical reception

Tom Breihan of Pitchfork Media described the track as "an extended formless feedback wallow, along the lines of Broadrick's work as Final."[5] Keith Carman of Exclaim! commented, "Apparently, the music is even more cacophonous and doomy than one might expect."[3] Another Exclaim! staff reviewer, Cam Lindsay, described the song as a "mighty fine piece of ruthlessly sludgy noisecore."[6]
