The recording process of Wrath was made available for online viewing through the band's website, with two webcams installed in the studio (specifically in the drum room and mixing room).

Music and album direction [ ] Speaking about the record, drummer Chris Adler stated: 'This album is going to surprise a lot of people. Typically bands that get to where we are in our career begin to slack off, smell the roses and regurgitate. We chose a different path. No one wants to hear another band member hyping a new record. Wrath needs no hype.

We have topped ourselves and on February 24 (as 2009) you will feel it.' 'We are excited to be changing things up this time and working with Josh. We've never stayed in one place too long, and the band's evolution continues. There is an aggressive shift in the material and our approach.

The bar has been raised.' Guitarist Mark Morton was also quoted in an interview stating: 'We usually try to do something fresh every time.

This one, I think, is deliberately a little more raw and more aggressive than Sacrament was. Sacrament was a really, really dynamic record on every level, and the songs were all over the place - it was also heavily produced. This one's really raw and real-sounding, from every angle, and we're celebrating imperfections on this record. We're choosing what takes stay on the record based more on their character and personality than how completely mechanically precise they are. It's more about vibe and attitude in the takes than it is about, 'Wow, that was perfect.'

It's the perfect ones that get thrown away, because they're just too sterile.' 'The guitar tones are a little cleaner than normal. We're kind of getting into this mind-set that clean is heavy. Clarity is a lot heavier than oversaturated. It's just real raw and natural and organic-sounding, which, in itself, is kind of revolutionary these days, when kids are making pro audio-sounding recordings in their dorm rooms, on their laptops, and cutting and pasting verses and choruses. It's no longer cutting edge to make a completely space-aged, robotic-sounding record. I think it's almost fresh now to make one that sounds like an actual band played it.

Don't get me wrong - it still sounds airtight and rehearsed, because it is all those things. But it's just real.' Reception [ ]. This section contains for an encyclopedic entry. Please by presenting facts as a summary with.

The stated: On its new album, Wrath, the Virginia band roots its best songs in a swagger that makes the growly moments stickier and gives the stadium-sized choruses a hint of righteous evil. Gave it an 8 out of 10 and stated: The highlight of Wrath, however, is the band's technical prowess, which is omnipresent. And Blythe leads the charge valiantly, with a passel of angry proclamations. While Lamb of God doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel this time out, this is an impressive album-meaning it should be taken as a whole, cohesive listening experience.
