Their fourth full-length in a catalog of blackened enormity, The Great Southern Darkness offers up 11 tracks that magnify GLORIOR BELLI's finest qualities. Said Revolver in an advance review of the record: "The album combines vicious black-metal riffery with deep New Orleans stoner grooves to create a metal monolith that is equal parts northern blaze and southern trendkill." Added American Aftermath: "Extraordinary mesmerizing, mind blowing, use whatever terms you want, this is fantastic." Sea Of Tranquility agreed calling it: "...a round of French avant-garde metal, with the same sort of dissonant intensity of Deathspell Omega, but – and this is, the interesting part – with very clear influences from southern metal, sludge metal and post-metal," while Infernal Masquerade noted simply: "If you are looking for a great BM release that is different and entertaining, be sure to get this album."
