MetalSucks calls the new track, "their influences come from all over the prog metal spectrum (and beyond), and as such there really is no way to get any more specific. You'll be tempted to compare them to Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, Soilwork and even Every Time I Die... and then there's the guitar solo, which some straight up, epic Zakk Wylde shit. And that's just on this one track from an album of nine."
