Style
Chris Barnes' growls on the album have been likened to Godzilla. The guitar riffs of Allen West have been described as "snail-paced."
Critical reception
In 2005, Warpath was ranked number 334 in Rock Hard magazine's book The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.
Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic said, "the simplicity of the riffs and their slow pace may just as well inspire criticism as it does celebration, given the fact that most death metal bands pride themselves on velocity."
