Fear Factory covered "O-O (Where Evil Dwells)" on their album Obsolete.

## Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "if the album lacks a full load of explosive Foetus audio dynamite, it still packs enough ugliness and venom to corrupt a monastery." Spin wrote that the album "allows Foetus the space to fully unfurl the thick, viscous wordchains he uses for lyrics." Dave Thompson, in Alternative Rock, called the album "disappointing" and "not the full frontal assault one would hope to find." CMJ New Music Report wrote that "the songs all build on heavy, intense tribal percussion overlayed with bits of whiney distorted guitar."
