Musical style

Filip Dupont of Archaic Magazine described the music of Malicious Secrets as "pure chaos and junk […], divine for some – rubbish for the most". Nattskog of Spirit of Metal Webzine described the style as "very violent, very strange with completely barbarian vocals above music that isn't less [barbarian]". The Antaeus track "Gates to the Outside" follows the chaotic and brutal style typical for the band. Nattskog described Mütiilation's cover of "My Way" as "in the style expected from Mütiilation: ailing, raw, depressive". Mütiilation's "Tears of a Melancholic Vampire" is a melancholic song, while the final track "Mass Grave Aesthetics" was described by Dupont as "dark, full of atmosphere and unique in its style".

Reviews

Filip Dupont of Archaic Magazine called From the Entrails to the Dirt "pure cult in the deepest of the underground", considering Deathspell Omega's "Mass Grave Aesthetics" to be the best track and the one "that makes this 'From The Entrails To The Dirt' such a remarkable release". Nattskog of Spirit of Metal Webzine recommends the release to "adepts of a pure and frankly extreme black metal".
