Reception

[edit]

The album received a positive reception. Kaaosine's Sirpa Pelli found the album excellent, and praised the band' s interest in history, language and culture, as well as black humor.[1] Imperiumi.net reviewer Harju rated the album as the most thoughtful ensemble of its time and one of the best records released in 2016.[2] V2.fi's Jesse Kärkkäinen stated that the album is the band' s most versatile release to date, with its rugged beauty. He named the album one of the most impressive ensembles of the year.[3] According to a Metal Storm review, "With the color palette and subject of that cover, this could only be a Kypck album. With the ghostly echoes of a rattling train bookending the opening and closing tracks, this could only be a Kypck album. With these icy, foreboding riffs and military-style breakdowns, Зеро is a perfect example of a Kypck album."[4]
