Lamb of God WTF!

[NAD]

Searched, no thread. I thought there was one, but anyhow:

Wow! I assumed these dudes were hardcore, but in no way shape or form are they. This is some good shit, I dig it. It's like a more modern approach of Vader or maybe the Haunted.

This song totally fucking rocks, especially starting around the 1:30 mark with lots of tasty trade-off solos and EXPERT backing riffs:

Fuckin' love Lamb Of God. The drummer could do with learning where his toms are from time to time, but that's about my only criticism of the band. Excellent modern thrash.

New American Gospel was good. From what I have heard of the latest one, it isn;t my cup of tea. The one in between wasnt that bad though either.

 

[lurch70]

good track ... didn't realize that instrumentals were still a hip thing to do.

Heard the first two, and couldn't stand 'em.

"As The Palaces Burn" rocks in my opinion. I'll never forget playing that album for Alex Hellid of Entombed at the first Brave Words Festival a couple years ago. He was like "Awww man, now THAT's the kind of shit I wanna hear!!", before we all proceded to have one or two...... uh...... beverages.

They are pretty good, I also am rather indifferent to their last album, but check out Burn the Priest ( the old name of Lamb of God) if you like Lamb of God, a stripped down deathier version of New American Gospel.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

The new one really bores me. I like burn the Priest and New American Gospel a bit though.

I haven't listened to New American Gospel too much, but I like the direction they took on their next one, As the Palaces Burn. I reviewed their new one, and gave it a pretty good write up, with my only real complaint being that this album sounded a lot like the last one. Still good, but the leftover flavor it has takes away some of the punch.
I think these guys are a better band than a lot of underground fans give them credit for. Chris Adler is awesome on the drums. I don't think they have much to do w/ metalcore either, which is often the complaint.

 

[JayKeeley]

Didn't they manage to get both Chris Poland and Alex Skolnick to appear on one song? Which song is it? Can anyone upload it somewhere or 'yousendit'?

 

[matt99_crew]

It's the instrumental title track to the new album.

Edit: because I wanted to add that I think that's the song already offered up. If not, I can send it to you.

 

[NAD]

So this song has Skolnick and Poland? Fuck me no wonder it's so good. Seems I should check out their early material, cool.

One Inch Penis: 'New American Gospel' was produced by Steve Austin (Today is the Day) and 'As the Palaces Burn' was produced by Devin Townsend. 'Ashes of the Wake', their latest, is their first major label release. All three releases are VERY similar, with 'New American Gospel' being slightly more death-metal and Steve Austin's production is very raw and brutal compared to their last two albums. All 3 are worth the money, though.

 

[matt99_crew]

I think it's the vocal style of NAG that puts me off a bit. More of a squeal it seems. But like I say, I really haven't heard much of it.

 

[General Zod]

Devin's production on "As the Palaces Burn" is only slightly better than Kelly Grays' on "Enemies of Realty". The new disc is awesome.

I see Palaces get slagged quite often, but it's my favorite of the three...I definitely don't agree with any of the "future of metal" bullshit from mainstream publications, but they are a perfect band for when you desire ass-kicking metal and nothing more...

 

[Chromatose]

I checked out As The Palaces Burn, honestly just because it was produced by Devy. (which definitely needed a few more tweaks here and there, but I got used to the sound)

anyway it rocked me waaaaaay more than I had expected, excellent tunes.

But I find the newest one of their's pretty boring.

 

[dill_the_devil]

Personally, I think Devy's production skills are way over-rated. What does the dude have against cymbals and snares? Why are the kicks and massive, rumbling, boominb presence in the mix? Why do the vocals sound like they're coming through a train-station PA system? Why do people keep letting him produce their records?

 

[J.]

heh........this place will let Slipknot play, but not Lamb of God? Don't Slipknot have elementary retard lyrics like "if you're 555, we're 666" and the oh-so-profound "People=shit"?

ha, California..............

LAMB OF GOD is BANNED from performing at the Forum in Los Angeles!!!

Lamb Of God is being forced to step aside from one of their arena concerts on the upcoming Subliminal Verses Tour with Slipknot, because of their name Lamb Of God and former moniker Burn The Priest.

The venue, The Forum in Los Angeles, is owned by The Faithful Central Bible Church who decided to impose a ruling to BAN LAMB OF God’s performance at their venue.

Lamb of God have come off of several extremely successful headline runs through L A in the last year, so this move comes completely unexpected for the band and the tour as a whole. Los Angeles is and has always been a huge market for the band, building steadily with each one of their releases and tours as well as and exploding with the bands current CD, 'Ashes of the Wake' (Epic 8/04).

In deciding to BAN LAMB OF GOD's performance, The Faithful Central Bible Church are imposing on the publics freedom of speech, choice and assembly; the bands art along with the bands ability to conduct commerce.

Drummer Chris Adler clearly states, "The "situation" in LA can only be described as ridiculous. It's already been a huge waste of energy trying to turn this around. The powers that be aren't interested budging - or doing their research apparently - and we've never been a band to placate anyone to get our way, smooth things over or make anyone feel better. They have made it clear that they don't want us because of our name, our show and our crowd - because of that ignorance, LAMB OF GOD is not being permitted to appear on the Subliminal Verses Concert in LA. It's truly a shame for the show overall, especially for our friends and fans in LA that are being forced to miss our part of the show. Trust that this was not our decision, we'd love to kick some ass in LA, but apparently the word from the powers that be is that LAMB OF GOD is not the wholesome family fun that the good people of Los Angeles deserve."
