Kerrang!Mar 20, 2012It finds the band sounding leaner and more direct than ever before, [11 Feb 2012, p.52]
-
Mar 20, 2012[Goatwhore delivers] another album of relentless and refined blackened death metal that speaks volumes about the band's level of craftsmanship.
-
Mar 20, 2012Their albums just get better and increasingly fun to listen, and Blood for the Master confirms that.

Metal Hammer (UK)Mar 20, 2012Blood For The Master veers expertly from bleak, blasting extremity to crazy-eyed thrash to ruinous punk rock, often all within the same song but never to the detriment of the band's core malevolent oh-so-metallic aggression. [Apr 2012, p.105]
