Reviews:
“Mention should also be made of The Sacred Truth’s packaging, and kudos is due to Finnish industrial musician Niko Skorpio for his top-notch design job. The minimalist matt finish digipack sleeve with spot varnishing is rich with warm brown tones, lending an appropriately earthy, shamanic feel to the release.”
– Simon Collins / Judas Kiss Magazine (UK)
