Metamorphosis is the sixth studio album by American rock band Papa Roach. It was released by DGC and Interscope on March 24, 2009. The album was originally planned to be titled Days of War, Nights of Love, which is a lyrical quote from the song "No More Secrets" on the band's previous album, The Paramour Sessions. Subsequently, two songs on the album are titled "Days of War" and "Nights of Love". It is the first album to feature Tony Palermo on drums, who joined the band in 2007 after original drummer Dave Buckner's departure.

Initial critical response to Metamorphosis was average. At

Hollywood Whore' he berates on the album's first single—they miss the whole point of this kind of rock & roll raunch: it should be more fun to listen to than it is to take out on the road".[10]

Sales

The album landed at number eight in the

Canadian Albums Chart
for a solitary week at number 14.
