Ain't No Grave Records released the album on July 26, 2011.

[1] Rating the album two stars from HM Magazine, Matthew Leonard says, "it's a weak attempt at the hardcore/metalcore genre.

"[2] Scott Fryberger, awarding the album four stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, writes, "Volition isn't a huge step up from Revival, soundwise, but I do think As Hell Retreats has surpassed it in general quality.

"[3] Giving the album four and a half stars at The New Review, Josh Velliquette states, "Volition is not a joyous listening experience.

Volition is a musically varied album that stretches straight for the heart, praising and damning the privilege of decision making.
