Lamb of God is completely kicking my ass ... the riffs on this last disc are just marvelous.
The singer took some spins to grow on me, but he is just fine.
NEw American Gospel is alot better than their last disc, which I couldnt get into. The one ofter NAG is also really good, but NAG is the best imho. They can really get you banging your head at times eh.
Ya, even though they have headbanging moments, I dont listen to them much, if at all anymore and if they are indeed the future of american metal, we're FUCKED. how's that for a run-on sentence?
Future of metal? No way. All these so-called "future" bands like LoG and Killswitch are throwbacks to early-90's death metal, in some bastardized way bands like Carcass and Entombed are finally getting the recognition they so much deserved.
Normally I'm not into that stuff, but I Lamb of God are pretty damn solid so I dig 'em.
I'm never amazed at how oblivious critics are when they throw around "the future of..." to describe bands that are of the moment and with little chance of lasting influence...LOG, while miles ahead of mallcore, doesn't exactly strike me as being innovative...
