Critical reception

After 25 years since their previous release The Danse Society "return with arguably their finest ever moment". New vocalist Maethelyiah replaces the missing Steve Rawlings, and Paul Nash fills in on bass as well as guitars. Terrorizer says "this still feels like a bold step forward, unfettered from the past". I DIe You Die says "As a modern goth record, Change Of Skin is perfectly decent" and Poponaut says "Stunning vocals as well as looks now compliment the bands always original dark and powerful sound"
