Lamb Of God - Sacrament Review

Wednesday August 30, 2006
With their last few albums Lamb Of God has proven that they belong at or near the top of the heap of New Wave Of American Heavy Metal bands. Their latest release further strengthens that case.

This is a CD that starts with a bang and doesn't let up until the end. The dual guitar attack of Mark Morton and Will Adler shreds and solos their way around the rock solid and very underrated drumming of Chris Adler. There are some very memorable and catchy songs, including "Redneck," which seems destined to be a crowd favorite at concerts.

Was wondering when you’d review Sacrament. Personally, I think it’s damn good, but Ashes of the Wake has a slight edge over it.

Same as what that person said, but sub “as the palaces burn.” Still really great - what a string of records these guys have put together.

But, am I the only one who is unimpressed by their live show? Everything good about them on disc gets lost onstage.
