Dave Stewart writing for '' Punktastic '' gave a favourable review of the album and it 's attention to detail and emotional intensity , saying " A mere two years since Tom Searle 's passing , to even consider releasing a record is commendable . The fact that the record is so intricate and powerful is a credit to the band , both musically and mentally . To make something so impressive out of a situation so dire is beyond admirable . " Zach Redrup of '' Dead Press '' gave the album a 10 out of 10 score , praising the album 's more frequent incorporation of electronic and atmospheric elements over previous albums . Wall of Sound rated the album a perfect 10/10 stating " this album is magnificent . It not only wraps up Tom Searle 's time within the band perfectly but also kicks off the next era without him . " In a 4 out of 5 star review , Allmusic concluded " '' Holy Hell '' is both a teardown and a rebuild , and while it is n't always an easy listen , there is some hard-won catharsis to be found in its attempt to distill the messiness of grief into four-minute blasts of sonic demolition . " Kerrang ! gave the album a perfect score , calling it " gut-wrenching , hauntingly desolate and emotionally devastating . " The album is also currently nominated for a Kerrang ! Award for ' Best Album '
