“Dr. Acula are back and they're all grown up. The once-self-proclaimed party-grinders have made a new self-titled album -- their first in 10 years -- and it's for when the party's over. It's a much darker, more serious beast than the albums Dr. Acula put out in the 2000s and early 2010s, but they still sound like Dr. Acula. It's still a batshit blend of metalcore, post-hardcore, grind, death metal, and more, with some cool electronics thrown in too, and it manages to sound refined without toning down the band's usual chaos. It also comes at a very good time for Dr. Acula, whose over-the-top style is echoed in many of today's heavy bands, like SeeYouSpaceCowboy and p.s.you'redead who they recently played shows with, and Bodysnatcher whose Kyle Medina guests on the new album's closing track.”
–BrooklynVegan

"Instead of rehashing the silliness of their early years, the band are now treating Dr. Acula like a serious project... A genuinely ripping metalcore banger in the vein of early Every Time I Die, but with deathcore breakdowns that call back to the Dr. Acula sound that longtime fans will remember."
–Revolver

“First things first: Dr. Acula sound a lot more modern… The songs themselves are closer to something like Every Time I Die playing deathcore, with a notably more serious outlook.”
–MetalSucks

"It's been a decade since these deathcore weirdos have descended on our eardrums. This is a noisy chaotic one, but... more mature."

–Metal Injection

"The legendary horrorcore heavyweights are still kings of the genre in every way with their new self-titled comeback record."

–Outburn

"This album is the original lineup's triumphant return after many years and it's a much-needed shake-up in a time where too many deathcore bands are starting to sound the same. Think if Every Time I Die made sweet kinky love to Job For A Cowboy. Heavy, highly technical and incredibly fun."
–Metal Trenches

"There is absolutely an atmosphere of angst, disorder, and fury in Dr. Acula’s sound in 2022... Their sound was always intense, amelodic, and angry. Right now, it’s all of those things, but with all that energy focused on a coherent topic, coming of age."
–Metal Epidemic

"In 2022, a year with the most densely packed complement of stellar records in some time, I’d venture to say that Dr. Acula’s self-titled release is among the top of them all. Feeling something like a lost entry in Every Time I Die’s catalogue at times—to something totally intangible and unique at others—Dr. Acula is an incredible experience."
