Reception

The album received mostly positive reviews. Distorted Sound Magazine described the album "Heavily inspired by the history and mythology of Ancient Egypt, 'Chapter III - Downfall' is an album where every track is a potential single in waiting, it's a lean, efficient and finely-tuned machine. It's three-quarters-of-an-hour packed with pop choruses, bouncy rhythms and catchy melodies, with just the right amount of grit under the fingernails." [2]
