"Resurrection" is the fourth studio album by Chimaira, released on March 6, 2007.

This is their first album with Ferret Music since leaving Roadrunner Records, as well as their first album since Andols Herrick rejoined the group. "Resurrection" was released in two forms: a regular version, and a limited edition version with different cover artwork and a DVD documentary of the making of the album.

"Resurrection" debuted at number 42 on the Billboard 200 charts, with about 16,000 copies sold in its first week.

The international edition issued by Nuclear Blast was issued in a digipak along with the DVD documentary. However, the cover artwork was the standard one.

There's also a tin box limited to 500 copies from Nuclear Blast Germany, that includes the album with the DVD, plus six pictures of the band and a numbered authenticity certificate. The artwork is done by Dutch artist Dennis Sibeijn, who has also done album cover artwork for Job for a Cowboy.
