Reception

Laura Taylor of Exclaim! said that Sheol is "as melodic as it is brutal", and called it "an unrelenting attack on the senses". She noted that the album "starts to lose effectiveness towards the...end". Rock Hard gave it a 10/10 score, and in 2005, Sheol was ranked number 407 in Rock Hard magazine's book The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[3] Metal.de gave it an 8/10 score,[4] and Blabbermouth.net a 7.5/10.[5]
