Artist: lamb of god

In honor of the memory of Cory Smoot a.k.a. Flattus Maximus, Metal Blade records are preparing to release The Corey Smoot Experiment's When Worlds Collide. Metal Blade Records are even going as far at to donate every single penny of the proceeds to benefit the Smoot Family Fund...in other words, don't steal it. The Corey ...

It's been quite a while since our favorite Frenchmen in Gojira have toured the U.S., and with a new album dropping in June this summer seems like the perfect time. And now we've got some good, hard clues as to what their touring plans may be. Unbeknownst to me until Metal Injection posted about it [...]

Leave it to our friends at Metal Insider to sleuth out all the information needed (and create the silly graphic attached to this post). Yesterday, we got the exclusive scoop about a new cruise on the horizon from the Mayhem Fest creators, when Robb Flynn spilled the beans that Machine Head, Lamb of God, Anthrax ...

Metal Injection spoke with Robb Flynn and Dave McClain of Machine Head on the black carpet of the Revolver Golden Gods Awards and during the conversation Flynn revealed exclusively to MI that the band will be part of a Mayhem Fest cruise happening later this year, with Lamb of God, Suicide Silence and Anthrax. Watch the reveal here or in the pla... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com

Whoa! One of my favorite things about working the black carpet at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards is talking to a bunch of musicians in a chaotic atmosphere and squeezing out information that maybe they shouldn't be revealing just yet. Case in point is when I spoke to Robb and Dave of Machine Head, and ...

This is the question which the new blog Polite Metal Lyrics seeks to answer... and does so with no shortage of hilarity. You can see a few more of my personal favorites after the jump, or just head over there to see all the ones that have been posted thus far. As of this writing [...]

This week's skyscraping pile of awesome new heavy shit requires two shovels, so I woke Senior Editor Anso DF from his post-weekend coma to help me scoop-and-toss all this hot, stinky metal into your ears and eyes. You'll thank us. Just plug your nose and dive deep into a double-load of Shit That Comes Out Today right [...]

Here at the MetalSucks Mansion, we're big fans of New York's own Hung, who appeared on the first volume of our free NYC Sucks compilation last year. The band gets a lot of attention for their namesake, electric violinist Lyris Hung (ex-Trans-Siberian Orchestra), 'cause, y'know, not many metal bands feature an electric violin player, or any [...]

MetalSucks recently polled its staff to determine The Top 25 Modern Metal Drummers, and after an incredible amount of arguing, name calling, and physical violence, we have finalized that list! The only requirements to be eligible for the list were that the musician in question had to a) play metal (duh), b) play drums (double-duh), [...]

You may recall that back in September, Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton and DevilDriver/Coal Chamber vocalist Dez Fafara revealed that they were working together on "a bunch of KILLER tunes" that were said to be in the vein of Soundgarden and Trouble. Well, last night Morton tweeted that the project is called Born of the Storm. [...]

Lamb of God has been forced to cancel the band's previously scheduled shows for March 7th in Auckland, New Zealand and March 9th in Anchorage, Alaska, due to a medical emergency regarding a family member. The band intends to make up both shows during the Resolution tour cycle. Lamb of God has been touring in support of the band's new album "Reso... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com

A reader named Pat e-mailed us the below video, of this young woman, Emma Corbett-Usher, doing a very pretty R&B-flavored cover of Lamb of God's "Omerta." Apparently it was recommended by Mark Morton himself, although I'm not sure in what capacity. In any case, it's pretty great, even if it's really only a cover in [...]

Every now and then there is that "game changer" of an album in the metal world. An album that is so revolutionary that it becomes hard to imagine what metal sounded like before it. Unfortunately, Lamb of God's newest release, Resolution, is not such an album. Lamb of God, hailing from Richmond, Virginia is one of the front-runners in the current American metal scene and considered by many to be the catalyst for the scene's growth. With the release New American Gospel in 2000(the first album the band released under [...]

I'm an unabashed Apple/iPhone fanboy and I also love Lamb of God, so when the band announced they'd released the Vox of God iPhone app a couple of weeks ago I decided to take it for a spin. The app promises to create "a vocal simulation of Lamb of God lead singer Randy Blythe's vocal style by applying [...]

New releases from Goatwhore, Orange Goblin, Earth and Beneath the Massacre all placed in the Top 100 of the "Current Hard Music Albums" chart on Soundscan last week, while recent records from Van Halen, Lamb of God, Foo Fighters, Lacuna Coil and more just keep on truckin'. Also, a startling realization that Nickelback is more [...]

Lamb of God Resolution Roadrunner Records 23 January 2012 by Tom Dare Lamb of God appear to have truly made it in the A-League of the metal world. The way you can tell is by the number of people who have either fallen over themselves to froth all over latest album Resolution or taken to the Internet to moan about it. You have to be doing rather well to please/piss off this many people. So who's [...]

Seeing a huge band in a small venue before their new album touring cycle kicks off is the absolute best. Just look at the above photograph of Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe crowd-surfing at the Troc in Philly on January 26th; that kind of intense band-to-audience bond would never happen if the band were [...]

We have reviewed a number of Lamb of God albums on NeuFutur. In the same vein, we have given extensive coverage to the various types of metal. The one thing that we have noticed over the last 13 years of covering these acts is that metal seems particularly prone for bands to come forth with [...]

Let's get one thing straight. Lamb of God have always been a formulaic band. With each record, they've made the smallest evolutionary steps, but none that could be discerned by an onlooker's ear. Despite, or rather because of that, they could ram their way out the underground and become such a massive centripetal force in the metal community. This unlikely rise could be attributed to a lone fact - the template set by Pantera was aped by a million bands at the time, but nobody did it like these guys. Lamb of God were more spiritual successors than clones. They [...]

We like stuff that's a bit different here at Thrash Hits. That's why we do silly things like talking to Devin Townsend about hot sauce and Neil Fallon about beer . So when we got emailed a link to an interview with Lamb Of God's Mark Morton about liking NASCAR, we thought we'd share the video with you. Reasonable. If only Morton liked American Football, we could make a wholly contemporaneous reference to the Super Bowl. He likes NASCAR though. This is a video interview.
