"Aaron Turner laver så mange plader med så højt et ambitionsniveau, at det er let at overse perlerne. Men på Sumacs sjette album går 70'ernes freejazz, 90'ernes støjrock og 00'ernes post-metal og sludge op i en højere enhed og skaber en af sidste års bedste metalplader".

"Like previous albums by post-metal trio SUMAC, May You Be Held is a set of hulking long-form pieces which balance carefully considered sections with free-form improvisation ... As with any of the band's releases, this one requires extreme patience, as it can go from lengthy passages of near-stillness to unrelenting torrents of sound ... ".

"Returning with mightier riffs and wilder improvisations than ever, the trio offers a spiritual vision of metal, one well timed to a moment of crisis ... May You Be Held works a lot like a church service-tales of tribulation and evil meted out alongside words of encouragement, delivered with the high volume of utter conviction".
