Reception

Black Monday called Zarathoustra "remarkable, intelligent and a must for your collection" and "this is human creativity mingling with technology via expressive interpretation of life, knowledge and freedom." [5] Sonic Boom said that a "fan of all forms of industrial music should find something addicting on this album as Deathline International refused to be constrained within the fragile shell of a particular genre and instead prefer to utilize elements of all of them." [6]
