Has Anyone Heard Lamb Of God?

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

I heard these guys have an old school sound when it came to their brutal heavy metal. I would suppose like ShadowsFall.

Is there anyone on these boards that listens to them?

Why wouldn't they have their own forum here?

Just wondering...thanks!

Don't really listen to them..but I have connections towards them

( My late uncle's wife's friend is friends with the lead vocalist)

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Uh...that helps...

Just kidding!

But hey...

I actually heard some stuff on www.mp3.com and they're allright...

They don't sound like old-school metal or Shadows Fall at all. Not even CLOSE man. More like brutal metalcore (metal+hardcore) similar to bands like Converge and Coalesce. Truely awesome band. I'm going to get their new album which is going to be released on May 6th so about 2 weeks from now.

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Yeah, they were quite brutal...

I guess they just wanted the scene to represent old school...funny that they didn't fashion their sound around it...

Lamb of God rules... both cds are sick, not very thrash metal but don't get me wrong, some seriously superb metal riffing is presented! if you're put off by 'death growls'(for lack of better words) than you may be hesitant.

and they are somewhat like older shadows fall definitely. i guess we disagree murai. sf is metalcore pretty much too ya know.

I heard that they were more hardcore back in the day when they were called Burn The Priest.

Well, no. I've become more aquired to 'death growls,' so much so that I can't imagine great bands like Opeth or In Flames without them. Well, there's REROUTE TO REMAIN and DAMNATION, but I mean the old stuff. I also love bands like Nile and Immortal.

I don't know if Lamb of God is in the same league as these bands, but hey! It's worth a shot!

I´ve heard some of their songs but they never caught on with me. I didn´t hear any oldschool in them though.

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Yeah. I think they're more old-school metal fans than old-school metal players...
