According to Metalourgio.com, the album kicks off with "The Trinity," featuring fast rhythms and a dramatic flair. Vocalist Ola Halén's deep range is noted to blend well with Mikko Korsbäck's drums, Niklas Dahlin's guitars, and Erik Arkö's bass.

Tracks like "No One's Hero" paint a "dark canvas," while "Afterlife" brings a heavier epic metal feel. The review also highlights "The Prophesier" for its brilliant power openings and catchy melodies, and "Fire From Above" for its "urgent, hard-hitting sounds and operatic flair." The album concludes with the fifteen-minute epic title track, summarizing humanity's journey.
