The album title Omertà describes the confidentiality of mafia members towards outsiders. The Omertà is part of the criminal organization's code of honor . Guitarist Mike Orlando explained in an interview that the recording ritual is shown graphically on the record cover .
“You cut your finger and burn a card . Our mascot on the cover, Bone Daddy , is trying to pull you in by the way he holds the card. Look, I have something for you. "Come and join our family!"
Some of the lyrics on the album, such as Indifferent , are about Mike Orlando's life. In Angel Sky a love affair of Orlando is described. With Undaunted , Orlando and Russell Allen want to call people to be fearless in certain situations . Down to the Floor, on the other hand, is about drag racing , which Orlando has been doing for over a decade.

Högl gave the readers an “absolute buy recommendation”. Andrew Bansal from the online magazine Metal Assault described Omertà as an "outstanding achievement" that hard rock fans can enjoy for 50 minutes. Bansal rated the album 8.5 out of ten.
Mike Click from the online magazine Metal Injection, on the other hand, described Omertà as a "waste of talent" and only recommended the album to fans of the band Black Label Society . Reviewer Chrischi from the online magazine Burn Your Ears criticized the album as "a series of unimportant rock / metal, which was produced powerfully and professionally recorded, but did not in the least call up the skills and song hosting potential of the prominent musicians".
