Cutting the Throat of God is the seventh full-length studio album by New Zealand death metal band Ulcerate.

"[2] Metal Injection's Max Heilman drew comparisons with post-metal bands like Isis, Dissection and Tool, praising in particular the versatility and dynamism of drummer Jamie Saint Merat's performance on drums and the stronger sense of dissonance and melody in Kelland's guitarwork compared to previous albums.

[3] Blabbermouth's Dom Lawson similarly praised the band's performance, concluding that "do not make music that conforms to anyone else's idea of how death metal should sound.

Cutting the Throat of God is a highly evolved, militantly creative and endlessly fascinating piece of work that merely confirms what sensible folk already know about this band.

BrooklynVegan's Andrew Sacher described the album as "mind-bending, mesmerizing heavy music with a real transportive quality to it, and I think it'd be pretty difficult to listen to this album and not feel moved by it.
