Mark of the Blade is the sixth studio album by American deathcore band Whitechapel.

At AllMusic, Thom Jurek wrote in a mostly positive that "In making a record that indulges so many of their songwriting obsessions, Whitechapel's The Mark of the Blade [sic] might have been a mess.

Sequence and flow, moods and styles, all form a coherent whole -- albeit one that might have used a tad more judicious editing.

He also praised Mark Lewis' production on the album, and compared the closing track to Tool and Slipknot.

Musically, the new touches work well and flow with the rest of the album, but the clean vocals in particular feel forced and sorely out of place.
