Red of Tooth and Claw is the fourth full-length album by the American five-piece indie rock band Murder by Death, their first for the Vagrant record label.

[7] Red of Tooth and Claw is, as the singer/guitarist Adam Turla put it, a "Homer's Odyssey of revenge, only without the honorable character at the center.

Alternative Press gave the album four stars, writing, "They've finally realized their full potential..." AllMusic described "...a taut, tense, elegant delivery..." and gave the album four stars as well, stating "the band's combination of a taut, tense, elegant delivery and poetic lyrics breathes life into each of Red of Tooth and Claw's songs.

Club gave the album a C+, stating it "envisions turbulence, stages it professionally, and downplays Murder By Death's power to frighten listeners and conjure up dust storms."

[2] Paste wrote that "the album triumphs on the sheer energy of the band’s performances—every one of them swirling, unapologetic tours-de-force.
