Reception

[edit]

Pitchfork reviewer Zach Schonfeld described Godcaster's debut Long Haired Locusts as 'teetering right on the edge of irredeemable obnoxiousness, daring you to resist their charm and lightning-fast musicianship.'[14] For their self-titled effort, Pitchfork reviewer Zhenzhen Yu felt that "the band maintains its characteristic mayhem and mythology while continuing to diversify."'[15]
