Hailed by many as the band’s most mature, well-executed and plainly vicious album to date, Serpents Unleashed — the follow-up to 2011’s Billboard-charting Forever Abomination full-length — was recorded with Kurt Ballou (Converge, Isis, High On Fire), features artwork by John Baizley (Baroness, Kylesa, Kvelertak) and was recently commended by Terrorizer Magazine in a 9/10 review as, „a triumph of blackened thrash sculpted by a discordant classic rock/metal edge,“ that, „push(es) the genre ten leaps forward.“ No Clean Singing dubs Serpents Unleashed, „the most assured record in their catalog,“ Lambgoat calls the record, „another great dose of blackened thrash with a hint of old-school metal energy,“ Metal Observer crowns it, „…vicious, chaotic, fun, and ultimately a thrashing time for all those involved…  one of the year’s best,“ while Skulls ‚N‘ Bones hails Serpents Unleashed, „…a MUST HAVE for all metal fans…. not only one of the best albums of 2013, but it’s their finest record to date, and one that assures that true metal will live on for many years!“
