Resolution

Released in 2012, Resolution represents a pivotal moment for Lamb of God, blending their established groove metal dominance with the raw thrash energy of their early 'Burn the Priest' days. Produced by Josh Wilbur, the album's creation was unique for the band, with much of the initial writing taking place on laptops in hotel rooms during the 'Wrath' world tour. This mobile writing process resulted in a diverse collection of tracks that range from the doom-influenced 'Straight for the Sun' to the punk-infused 'Cheated.' The album is notable for its high-profile debut at #3 on the Billboard 200 and its critical acclaim for maintaining intensity seven albums into the band's career. The most discussed track, 'King Me,' features orchestration by Bryan Crook and vocals by Amanda Munton, marking one of the band's most significant sonic departures. This record solidified their status as the torchbearers of modern American metal while proving they weren't afraid to experiment with the formula.
