LAMB OF GOD - Title: ASHES OF THE WAKE - Ashes of the Wake is the fourth studio album and first major label release by American groove metal band Lamb of God, originally released in 2004 via Epic Records. The album was rated by Guitar World as the 49th greatest Guitar Album of all Time.

The quote at the beginning of "Omerta" is a paraphrase of the Sicilian Mafia's code of silence. The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in February 2016.
