  • Lamb of God Releases First New Music in Five Years, “Checkmate,” from Upcoming Self-Titled Album, Due out May 8
    LAMB OF GOD RELEASES FIRST NEW MUSIC IN FIVE YEARS, “CHECKMATE,” FROM UPCOMING SELF-TITLED ALBUM, DUE OUT MAY 8 WATCH THE VIDEO FOR “CHECKMATE” NOW VIA lamb-of-god.com PRE-ORDER LAMB OF GOD AT https://lambofgod.lnk.to/LOG (Los Angeles, CA – February 6, 2020) – LAMB OF GOD has revealed a brand new single and video, “Checkmate,” from the band’s first release in five years and the first to feature new drummer Art Cruz. The self-titled Lamb Of God is due out May 8 via Epic Records. Watch “Checkmate” now at: http://lamb-of-god.com. “‘Checkmate’ brings together all the components of the LAMB OF GOD sound that we’ve been developing over the last two decades, but with the ambition and ferocity that comes with the start of a new chapter for our band,” says guitarist Mark Morton. “Re-energized and reignited, this is LAMB OF GOD 2020. We’ve never been more excited.” The fact that the band’s eighth studio effort would warrant ‘self-titled’ status is a testament to the band’s pride and satisfaction with these songs and this period in their creativity. “Putting only our name on it is a statement,” Blythe says. “This is LAMB OF GOD. Here and now.” A true collaboration between all members of the band, LAMB OF GOD’s eighth studio album is an amalgam of each individual’s contributions, blended to create a singular style. Guitarists Mark Morton and Willie Adler fuel the album with a mountain of riffs, taking what Lamb of God are known for, and unbelievably, upping the ante to new levels.

    lamb of god killadelphia torrent download Lamb of god killadelphia torrent download. "These are heavy times," explains guitarist Mark Morton. "The looming war and the fear everyone's subscribing to. it's hard for that not to infiltrate your work. Armageddon needs a heavy metal soundtrack." . and As The Palaces Burn just might be that soundtrack. One of the most kinetic, technically challenging and unabashedly heavy pieces of music you're likely to hear, As The Palaces Burn is the soundtrack to the confusion, fear and evil that affects so many of us today. With timing of the release as impeccable as the music, LAMB OF GOD have further elevated their craft and risen to the very top of the extreme metal scene - a scene of which they became a part nearly eight years ago. This doesn't happen by accident, of course. LAMB OF GOD embody the most essential qualities of a successful band: impeccable skill, a tireless work ethic and, perhaps most importantly, character. Hailed as the heroes of new American metal by legions of fans across the country, LAMB OF GOD have taken influences from bands like Slayer, Pantera and Sepultura and injected a contemporary extreme music aesthetic to create an unmistakable signature sound. With one of the most charismatic frontmen in rock and four awe-inspiring players behind him, LAMB OF GOD have mastered a sophisticated sound that transcends genres and can be appreciated by any open-minded music fan. In their salad days in Richmond, VA, LAMB OF GOD members Morton, singer Randy Blythe, bassist John Campbell and drummer Chris Adler operated under the moniker BURN THE PRIEST.

  • Steve Stemac Lights Metal Rockers Lamb of God with Elation
    01-July-2019 Steve Stemac lights metal rockers Lamb of God with Elation Heavy metal rockers Lamb of God have been on four tours over the past year as support for thrash metal band Slayer’s long-running farewell tour, the latest leg in May beneath a rig of Elation lights. Lighting design was by Steve “Cowboy” Stemac with lighting supply and support by Gemini. Stemac started with Lamb of God in May, 2018, as lighting director, inheriting a stage set-up designed by tour manager Brian Griffin. After earning the band’s, and Griffin’s, trust over the following legs of the tour, the designer began to evolve the show, a process that eventually led to fixture changes. For the latest leg, a 16-date trek across the southern U.S. states and up the east coast, Stemac chose to reinforce the band’s signature sound and stage presence using Elation DARTZ 360™ LED beam/spot fixtures and Elation ACL 360 Bars™. A balance “Lamb of God likes a lot of backlighting with not too many revealing hues,” Stemac says of the type of lighting required for the Grammy-nominated veteran rockers. After respecting their parameters, he says he simply approached it as a fan, asking himself, “What do I think would look right for this song?” As direct support for Slayer, and following death metal act Amon Amarth, who Stemac says had a formidable lighting package, the LD strove for differentiating the show from theirs as much as possible, while still keeping it appropriate for Lamb of God's music.

For example, metal is believed to be satanic, or to celebrate and inspire violence; the fans are seen to be angry or depressive. This study uses surveys of 62 heavy metal fans, and other relevant research, to undermine such stereotypes. The sound of heavy metal, the lyrics of metal songs, and the audience of heavy metal music are analyzed separately. Heavy metal fans ultimately are not dissuaded by misconceptions about the music, and continue to place high value on its community, purpose and musical creativity. ALIVE OR JUST BREATHING: A REVIEW AND CONFRONTATION OF METAL’S MOST POPULAR STEREOTYPES There are very few things in life that take complete priority over anything else.

  • There Are Metal Bands and Then There Is Lamb of God
    There are metal bands and then there is Lamb of God. A new breed of modern American metal was erected in the 2000s, with Lamb of God serving as an architect, designing the blueprint that would become the standard by which bands that came after them would be judged. So often, the European metal scene has set the tone and established the creative high watermark of the global metal scene, providing the template that their American brethren would follow. Then Lamb of God came along and all bets were off. It was Lamb of God who rewrote the rules, devised a new playbook and raised the standard. The genre was forever and irrefutably changed by what the band has done. By the mid-00s, there was a full metal Renaissance, if you will, in America, with the genre enjoying several years of renewed success and critical respect. Lamb of God worked to establish themselves without question as the scene's alpha males, dominating at every turn, leaving a parade of other acts to merely feast on their leftovers and scraps. Mind you, this was not a scene, style or era populated by middling acts. The era was filled quality bands and still, it was Lamb of God who defined the time period and that quickly ascended as the game changers and torch bearers. No. Questions. Asked. Turns out, they've merely nicked the surface of what they can do and plan on accomplishing. In 2012, Lamb of God remain the pre-eminent metal band and not by default, either. The scene is still healthy, even if some of the peers who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with them during that period of growth have fallen by the wayside.
