Reception and legacy
Jason Anderson of AllMusic gave the album three stars out of five. He said: "Only a subtle improvement upon their first release, some might consider this a relatively constrained effort, but no fans of Unleashed -- or their European death metal genre -- should be disappointed with Shadows in the Deep."[5]
Nirvana unofficially recorded a brief cover of the song "Onward Into Countless Battles", labeled "Meat".[6]
