[Episteme]

Hmm, I like Lamb Of God and Slayer. Yeah Lamb Of God sounds like they do have a huge Slayer influence. Awesome bands nonetheless.

 

[Spirit In Black]

Who haven't Slayer influenced?

 

[Tanith]

Well, when Lamb of God opened for Slayer at the Astoria in London earlier this year, it went something like this:

[Randy Blythe] Who's here to see Slayer?
[Crowd Roars]
[Randy Blythe] Yeah, us too.

So yeah, Slayer worship is probably the correct term.

 

[Terrifyer]

I wonder, how anyone can like fucking lamb of god?

 

[Life Sucks]

I think Lamb Of God are strongly influenced by many bands, and Slayer is among them. I also hear Pantera, Meshuggah, and some death metal in their sound.

 

[Spirit In Black]

It isn't that hard actually you should give it a try, they rule.

If you ask me, lamb of god perform the best slayer impression of any band out there! I think they are one of the best bands out there, and its music that any one can enjoy! Devin did a horrible job producing at the palaces burn, the drums in the title track sound like plastic bottles! Not quite in the bob rock league, but still pretty bad...ah well at least devy doesnt fuck much!

I can also hear a strong pantera and meshuggah influence in their sound, some parts of their songs I find very "chaosphere" esque!

and of course pantera influences crop up in a lot of bands, I can hear some anselmo in randalls vocals definetly!

 

[Psychonaut]

They have influences but I think The Haunted's One Kill Wonder was more Slayer worship than anything I have heard in years.

Yes, but the album is fuckin great.
Lamb of God has a couple awesome releases under their belt too.

 

[plfffffft]

I hope it does wind up being a tour.

I'm tired of every Slayer tour being: Shitty band noone's heard of, god band not TOO many people have heard of(In Flames, Arch Enemy), shitty band everyone's heard of(Soulfly, Hatebreed), and then Slayer.

Hypocrisy's "Time Warp" is probably the biggest Slayer-worship song ive ever heard, i mean that might as well just be Slayer, even the vocals are exactly like Tom's.....

but yeah, who haven't Slayer influenced?
