Reception

Aiding & Abetting gave Combat Shock a positive review, saying "it's catchy as hell, heavy enough to attract the headbanger and with good enough beats to work in a club."[4] A critic for Keyboard concurred, saying "behind vocalist Ane H.'s snarling and gargling, STR kicks nasty but imaginative sequences" and that "power guitar samples dominate, but the occasional horn stab, light drum hit, or even shuffle beat adds an element of unpredictability to the din."[5]
