Odyssey to the West is the third 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. Slice the Cake later regrouped, releasing a live EP in 2020 that featured tracks from Odyssey to the West.
