"In the tense intro to 'Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse,' [Barnes] begs, 'mood shift, shift back to good again,' only to be immediately answered by his arsenal of good mood instruments. On command, the song shifts into a sunny lament." PopMatters.com

"'Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse' is the high point of [Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?], both the catchiest song on Hissing Fauna and the most confessional. It plays like a jacked-up jump-rope rhyme, recounting Barnes’ battle with his own brain chemistry. This one hits home, because anyone who’s at all complex has been there, wanting with every ounce of our consciousness to be okay but just getting stuck in the same destructive thought cycles."
