So this will be their 4th full length studio album. With each album you’ve seen the evolution of the band. Some like the older stuff more then the new, but I dig a good clean sound with vocals that you can actually make out most of the words. With this comes the end of the poll and the survey clearly says that Ashes Of The Wake seems to be everyone’s favorite with Sacrament not too far behind. About half the votes of Ashes.

Time for a Metallica Poll, I guess.

1. Ashes Of The Wake – Every song on this album are killer. No two ways around it.
2. As The Palaces Burn – The 11th Hour, Boot Scraper and Blood Junkie, just to name a few. This in my opinion is their second best work.
3. Sacrament – While this album is a bit more catchy, you can hear how Randy’s voice has evolved and is a brilliantly engineered sounding recording.
4. New American Gospel – Lamb Of God’s debut with their “New Name” is one of my least favorite because even the re-mastered version leaves some production value to be desired.
5. Burn The Priest – Lamb Of God’s first record with their original name gives you the band in their most raw form. I included this album because after all…it’s still Lamb Of God.

With every album you can see how the band has improved their form and sound. Call them what you want, Lamb Of God is a hard working American metal band that purely kicks ass. With a new 2 disk DVD coming July first called Walk With Me In Hell through a distribution deal with RoadRunner Records , I’m really anticipating another cool dvd. Killadelphia showed the good, the bad, and the ugly of the band on the road.

The Sacrament cd is a great Lamb Of God release in my opinion but this is kinda just the same old thing. I thought it might atleast have something extra. On the producer CD all you get is a folder of each song with the tracks (Guitar, Vocal, Drum, Etc.) in it. Not that I expected a whole lot more but it doesnt offer any software to use with it; so you need something like Cakewalk.

While this is still kinda cool it is still what it is and I think they could have put it all on one cd and sold it with some bonus tracks or something. The price isn’t much higher from the original release so I guess thats a plus.

I havent had a whole lot of time to play with it but I still think it wouldhave been better if it was offered with some kind of software for the user. I think it was one of those “Hey let’s do this! And get it out fast” ideas. Perhaps it would make a good gift forthat Lamb Of God fan that doesn’t already have Sacrament.

I kinda want to get this but I like to leave well enough alone. Perhaps I’ll remove the vocals and add my own and sing in the style of a lounge singer or something…that would be pretty cool.

This sounds pretty cool to me, but honestly…what can you do to this record production-wise that would make it any better. Unless your a technophile and you turn it into a techno-beat mix or something that you would dig more, I couldn’t think of changing a damn thing about this record that would make it better.

Here is an excerpt from lamofgod.tv.

“Track and add your own effects, vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and anything else you can imagine! Isolate tracks to help learn or to play/sing along. Create your own new unique songs or loops by cutting apart, rearranging or mixing up tracks or even entire songs. The possibilities are endless and the tools are now in your hands.”

You know what gets me is the people on blabbermouth that say sh*t like: “wow, I actually like this idea even though I hate the band.” and ” This band is alright, but this idea is f**kin cool”. To this say : What are you guys listening to that is so much better? Cause I really want to know, cause right now if there is anything better I want to hear it. I’m not kissing LOG’s ass or anything but I consider them the best modern American metal band right now. With all the other garbage out there You can’t go wrong with LOG.

To all you hateful bastards out there that think your so damn good, I’d just like to see you put together a band that can sound even a fraction as good as these guys do and maybe I’ll buy your record, and then I’LL remix it…right in the crack of my ass!

On a better note I also received Sacrament today and I’m 7 songs into it and I love every bit of it. Some bands evolve into crap and some evolve in amazing pieces of art…Lamb of God is that amazing piece of art that you stare at with your ears. The guitars and drums are such a great mix, nothing over-powers the other like so many bands these days. Randy, D.Randall or whatever you want to call him has developed his voice to a beautiful sound of bunnies being raked across red hot coals and It’s awesome!

I think I’m going to stop here and be satisfied with my Lamb Of God collection until their next release. It may be better not to try to reach any further back like you can do with some bands. So Ashes Of The Wake And Sacrament are my two favorites from LOG. Thanks Izzy for the advice for Sacrament, I’m really diggin’ it.
