The power and rage of Lamb of God's fourth release was a major upgrade in sound when they finally managed to get on a major label for Ashes of the Wake. The vocals sounded tremendously better in this than the previous. Revolver Magazine rated this album as the second best of 2004 just behind Mastodon. The intensity is always there for Lamb of God's records and gigs. Drummer Chris Adler is a beast on the kit and is shaping up into being one of the most respected and best newer recent drummers. They've shown that they're one of the best bands to come out of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal by touring constantly while getting recognition by opening for bands such as Metallica,Slayer,Megadeth and more recently Korn and Rob Zombie on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival 2010. On the titled track features Chris Poland ex Megadeth guitarist and Alex Skolnick guitarist for Testament doing solos. If you can get past the angry vocals of Randy Blythe you'll probably love this and I know some do and some don't.
