Metal Hammer (Germany) | 4/7 [7] |
Sonic Seducer | favourable [6] |
All Beauty Must Die peaked at position 24 in the German album charts. [8]
A review by the German Sonic Seducer magazine lauded the album's mix of fast uptempo tracks and slow "atmospheric" pieces as well as the guitar riffs. [6] Also Metal Hammer was positive about the dynamics and the quality of the riffs but criticised the contrast between singer Cho's bright voice and the deep guitar sound. [7]
