Likewise, the Mexican news media Metal Pedia qualified "Osculum Pacis" as album of the year 2022. -An album for those with an interest in a dark and brooding variety of metal that is dynamic, tasteful and elegant as we as retaining dark, harsh and ominous moods and atmospheres.(Terra Relicta) - A very well done album, with an impeccable production. To highlight its arrangements, density, heaviness and melancholy, all seasoned with a lot of darkness. A tremendous album that is well worth listening to
