music video "The Rat" was released, and shows Power riding on a theme park attraction for majority of the video. In a press release, Power spoke of the video: "The video itself is a bit of fun and was filmed on a family vacation, but somehow I feel it represents discontent within a capitalist regime and a world full of sugar-coated shit." Tour In support of the album, Power went on tour of Europe and the UK, starting on 31 March 2017 at the Rewire Festival in Netherlands, and finishing up at The Lantern in Bristol, London on 29 April 2017. Critical reception World Eater was met with "universal acclaim" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 81 based on 23 reviews. Aggregate website AnyDecentMusic? gave the release a 7.6 out of 10 based on a critical consensus of 23 reviews. In a review for AllMusic, critic reviewer Heather Phares wrote: "Benjamin John Power transforms furious noise, drones, and the surprisingly danceable elements of Dumb Flesh into vivid portraits of division and turmoil that sound big enough to engulf a planet and intricate enough to consume it from within. World Eater's focused chaos is some of his finest work yet." At Exclaim!, Tom Beedham said: "Power's music has consistently found space for stark, cathartic purges, but World Eater matches its brutal releases with hope and luminosity. It's a radical, adventurous exploration — and celebration — of the relationship between darkness and light." Robert Ham of Paste stated: "The mixture of gentility and dissonance is somehow more unsettling than if Power was to go full on into harsher, angrier territory. The balance that he maintains throughout is what makes the album work."
