"'Vector Of Cruelty' is a masterful combination of coruscating mid-pace burl and quirky thrash, 'The Murderer's Pact' pushes boundaries in the fields of lead work and atonality, while 'Kill Or Become' has a sizzling, infectious quality and the potential to be a set closer should they ever quit it with 'Hammer Smashed Face.'... the point is, there's material on lucky number thirteen that stands up to the classics." - Decibel

"A Skeletal Domain proves why CANNIBAL CORPSE are still such an integral part of the metal world." - Loudiwre

"...an absolute must have for any lover of anything brutal..." - Metal Injection

"...one of CANNIBAL CORPSE's most absorbing records in years." - The Guardian

"CANNIBAL CORPSE have pushed the technicality of their songs without forgetting the brutality or speed that fans have come to expect...with A Skeletal Domain there is even more of a reason for people to give CANNIBAL CORPSE a listen." - Sputnik Music

"...it's impressive that a group approaching its third decade can still bring the noise... and songs like the muscular title cut, the frenetic 'Icepick Lobotomy,' and the lurching and doomy 'Kill Or Become' deliver their dark wares with the subtlety of a morning star to the head." - All Music

"[CANNIBAL CORPSE] fucking rule their fucking roost with talons of fucking steel." - MetalSucks
