Odyssey to the West is the third and final studio album by international progressive deathcore trio Slice the Cake. It was self-released on April 1, 2016. It was released simultaneously with Odyssey to the Gallows. Both releases are part of a concept about a pilgrim who leaves his betrothed to find God.

Shortly after the album was released, the band disbanded due to it being released without composer Jack Richardson's permission.^[5] Slice the Cake later regrouped, releasing a live EP in 2020 that featured tracks from Odyssey to the West.^[6]
