In one of the pictures, vocalist Matt Heafy was sitting next to David Draiman of Disturbed; leading to some speculation that he would play a part in the album's conception.

"[8] The band performed the song "Brave This Storm" live on July 28, 2013 at Rock the City Bucharest in Romania and released the studio version three days later as a free digital download.

[12] Vengeance Falls has received mostly positive reviews from professional critics, but has proven controversial among die-hard fans, mostly because of the decision of hiring David Draiman as a producer.

[21] The Guardian stated "This is a proud and focused heavy metal album that eschews current trends in favour of great songs, massive grooves, blazing lead breaks and a disarming air of combative euphoria".

[2] Another positive review came from AllMusic, when Gregory Heaney commented "With a songwriting that emphasizes quality over quantity or complexity, the album feels more precise in its execution, with every moment expertly placed in order to serve the songs rather than show off the band's musicianship (which is, as always, considerable)".

New Noise Magazine describes it as "an anthemic Shogun-esque track, with soaring riffs and a thick bass tone that captures Trivium at one of the high points of the album".
