[9] On 9 May 2023, Thy Art Is Murder published the lead single "Join Me in Armageddon" and an accompanying music video.

According to a statement from the band, the split was partially due to McMahon's "recent anti-trans comments" that he shared on social media.

Graham Ray of Distorted Sound scored the album 7 out of 10 and said: "Godlike doesn't live up to its title, but it is yet another strong dose of deathcore from the Australian veterans.

"[19] Wall of Sound scored the album 9/10 and wrote: "While staying true to their deathcore roots, Thy Art Is Murder have created an album that can easily be envisioned being performed on arena stages or large-scale festival headline slots as the group transitions into playing on those platforms at this time in their career.
