After its release, ''Nihility'' received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Jason D. Taylor of ] said "The vocals sound less homo sapien and more like demonic hellspawn, which intertwines with the exquisite death metal opera being performed by the rest of the band. The drumming here is relentless, pounding its way into the skull with furious determination."<ref name="allmusic"/> While Chris Bruni of ] noted that the album "Musically it's tighter, the playing a bit more technical, yet not as technical as fellow country-deathsters Yattering, but still calculated, with a constant brutal flow. And it is the overall production - a tight clean openly heavy sound - that gives Nihility that "classic feel," a sound which is a cool mix of the classic Florida vibe bled with the classic Stockholm sound."<ref name="brave"/> Greg Pratt of ] praised the songwriting and ] skills: "The riffs show a nice element of groove within the grindcore madness, and the drumming is absolutely stunning; the double-bass work alone is worth the cost of the disc."<ref name="exclaim"/> With opposite approach came up Paul Schwarz of ] who said "It's not technical ability that is lacking; Decapitated, though young, are among the most technically proficient musicians to ever play death metal. What is really lacking though, is songwriting ability and -edge-. The riffs on _Nihility_ certainly can be tricky -- often helping unbalance already-mutated percussion-work, and not rarely spiraling into unexpectedly complex and intricate shapes -- but they're just not all that excellent: they just don't quite hit the spot."<ref name="chronicles"/> |
