online listen
not my thing but it may be yours
a true flatliner for me
nothing above a do not like
the scrowling took care of that
gotta admit, some of the music did enact the head banging
maybe a case where an instrumental album was in order
1.0 from me and a converted 2.1 from the pros at allmusic
from the album - Ghost Walking

Bio - from allmusic
Originally known by the less-than-subtle moniker Burn the Priest, Richmond, Virginia-based Lamb of God decided to
change their name shortly after the release of a self-titled debut in 1998. Featuring vocalist Randy Blythe,
guitarists Mark Morton and Will Adler, bassist John Campbell, and drummer Chris Adler, the newly rechristened Lamb
of God were launched in the year 2000 with their acclaimed New American Gospel album. The group then embarked on a
lengthy touring spree, spending much of the next two years preaching its "pure American death metal" at major heavy
metal festivals and small clubs alike. Work on a follow-up effort with producer and Strapping Young Lad mastermind
Devin Townsend took place in between these many road jaunts, so that Lamb of God's sophomore LP, As the Palaces
Burn, was released in summer 2003. Ashes of the Wake quickly followed it in 2004. Produced by Machine, it featured
the most fully realized material of the band's career. Ashes was both a chart and critical hit and set up a year's
worth of successful touring for Lamb of God. Epic also reissued Burn the Priest, the 1998 debut from the original
band. The Killadelphia DVD appeared in 2005, documenting a particularly fierce stretch of shows in Philly, and the
same program's audio edition dropped toward the end of the same year. Sacrament was released in 2006, followed by
Wrath in 2009. A massive three-disc retrospective entitled Hourglass: The Anthology was issued by Epic in 2010,
covering their independent releases as well as their major-label years, and including a third disc of rarities. The
set was released in two configurations: it was available for purchase in either three single-disc volumes or as a
full box set. The band spent 2010 touring before eventually settling down in 2011 to record new material with
producer Josh Wilbur. The result was their seventh album, 2012's Resolution.
Album Review - from allmusic
On their seventh outing, Resolution, Lamb of God prove once again that the right ratio of barnstorming riffs and
relentless intensity is all you need to make a solid album. Where Lamb of God -- among the last real practitioners
of the dying art of groove metal -- really succeed here is in the simplicity of their approach, shying away from
modern studio trickery in favor of a rawer sound that doesn't make any attempts to smooth the edges off of
anything. With a little ring of the snare drum here and there and some extra-crunchy guitar tones, the album has a
natural feeling that sets these veteran players apart from the ultra-polished sounds some of the younger bands go
for. Resolution feels like metal made in the old ways, with guitars being played through amps rather than modeling
modules, and drums that are live instead of programmed. Rather than feeling like an indictment of the more heavily
processed stuff that's been on the rise, the album serves more as a reminder that sometimes simpler is better, and
that sometimes all you need to make a good album is some flaming hot guitar work, thundering double bass drumming,
and a whole lot of screaming.
