[edit] Reception

Séance Prime has gotten mainly positive reviews, from many critics. Lambgoat described it as "a small shift in songwriting style and a desire to get outside the grindcore box," but also said this change "sacrifices some of the intensity that was a key component to the band's sound." The EP was also praised as the band's heaviest to date and a continuation of their mixture of many different genres including d-beat, grindcore, hardcore punk and extreme metal.
