Peril and the Patient has without a doubt made my list of favorite albums. If you’re looking for exciting, relentless, diverse, and powerful metal then look no further. Called to Arms dishes out a stellar helping of awesome by fusing together a plethora of heavy metal subgenre, all the while keeping a varied, original and interesting sound. [9]

Peril and the Patient is stunning in the way it all comes together... It's a magnificently fun, fluid, and intriguing listen that accomplishes everything it set out to achieve. [10]

Peril and the Patient is a slick listen for those with a sweet tooth for metal – easily one of the year’s best in its genre. [11]
