AllMusic | [5] |
Jason Anderson of allmusic gave The Iron Icon four out of five stars, calling the music "extremely loud and abusive industrial noise" and "repetitive in sonic texture, lyrical concept, and also in its bludgeoning tone."[5] Aiding & Abetting gave the album a positive review and praised the band's change in artistic direction towards a more heavy metal sound.[6] Sonic Boom credited Daniel Neet's vocals and the album's unique vocal mix as being among the highpoints of the album.[7]
All tracks are written by Alex Eller, Brian McGarvey, Daniel Neet and Will Nivens
