Reception


Industrial Reviews gave Auric Fires four stars out of five and praised the melody and density of the compositions, as well as the band's ability to stand out in the EBM and industrial music scenes.[5] Sonic Boom severely criticized Richard Mendez's vocal performances and said "luckily, Gary Dassing contributes vocals to 'Base of Brutality' and there are a handful of instrumental tracks on the album to keep it becoming a dismal failure."[6]
