According to Blabbermouth.net, Gun Shy Assasssin reports that Richmond, Virginia metallers Lamb Of God have set "Resolution" as the title of their new album, due in early 2012 via Epic Records. The CD was once again helmed by producer Josh Wilbur, who worked on the band's last effort, 2009's "Wrath".
One of the tracks that will appear on "Resolution" includes an orchestra and a choir. "
There's opera singers, a whole symphony going on... It's crazy," drummer
Chris Adler is quoted as saying about the song, which features the band's vocalist,
Randy Blythe, singing slowly over the opening. "
We were trying to figure out how to not be black metal but do something totally different. I think we succeeded," Adler said.
Blythe previously described "Resolution" as "WAAAAY better than 'Wrath' overall."

"Wrath" sold around 68,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 2 (behind Taylor Swift's "Fearless") on The Billboard 200 chart.
Lamb Of God's 2006 album, "Sacrament", opened with around 63,000 units to land at No. 8. This represented almost double the amount of records sold by its predecessor, "Ashes Of The Wake", which registered a first-week tally of 35,000 in September 2004.
"Wrath" was released in North America on February 24, 2009 via Epic. The CD was issued in other territories through Roadrunner Records.
The "Wrath" album was released in four configurations: an LP, a CD, a deluxe-edition CD with bonus disc - which contains isolated recording parts - as well as a super-deluxe version featuring a limited-edition box containing an LP, deluxe-edition CD and USB drive containing two exclusive bonus tracks.
Lamb Of God performed at the sixth edition of D-Tox Rockfest on June 17 in Montebello, Quebec, Canada. This marked the group's first and only 2011 appearance.
