Lamb of God – Prosthetic Records Announce Deluxe Reissue of ‘New American Gospel’
Prosthetic Records is proud to announce a deluxe reissuing of LAMB OF GOD’s influential and highly-lauded debut album, New American Gospel, on April 4.
Since the release of the record in 2000, the face of American metal has never been the same…Never ones to sacrifice underground credentials and a bludgeoning sound for commercial success, LAMB OF GOD instead brought success to the metal underground, opening the doors for their contemporaries and inspiring a legion of up-and-coming bands along the way. Quickly transforming from a group of Richmond, Virginia metalheads into one of heavy metal’s most admired and influential bands of the last decade, LAMB OF GOD is now a living testament to the old motto “a little hard work goes a long way,” and New American Gospel was only the beginning.
Remastered and repackaged with four bonus tracks, exclusive liner notes from the band, and the video for the proven classic “Black Label,” alongside a re-imaging facelift from longtime band collaborator Ken Adams, LAMB OF GOD’s now famous debut album finally gets the treatment it deserves in 2006. The music on New American Gospel has quickly become both essential and classic metal material, having already helped to revitalize and re-inspire a once stale American metal scene and assist in usher in this decade’s New Wave of American Heavy Metal and forever leaving its mark on the worldwide metal scene. With the band’s brand of death-influenced thrash metal with hardcore grooves, and a plethora of devastating live shows through the band’s diehard work ethic, LAMB OF GOD continues to wave the flag for uncompromisingly heavy music, even half a decade after the band’s breakthrough album.
Scheduled to tour throughout the summer of 2006 in support of a new album, never has there been a better time to unsheathe this long-deserved, updated take on a new American metal classic to the hordes of heavy music fans that have, since the release of New American Gospel half a decade ago, been inspired by the revolutionary and scene-leading band LAMB OF GOD has become today.

I love it when indy's try to bank on making crappy releases of one of their acts that got signed to a major.
Relapse is cashing in on Mastodon (WBR) by releasing garbage stuff to make an extra dollar
:wassat:
HOLY SHIT, ANOTHER REISSUE? I'M SURPRISED!
ROFL at the description. This band blows.
Lamb of God…Killswitch Engage…Shadows Fall…Mastodong…a
ll suck and should quit re-re-re-releasing all their cds.
Ching Ching
Faceless fucks talking shit yet again.
Remastered? Fuck yes!
Yeah, I'll judge whether this was necessary when i hear it remastered, cuz the old production sounded horrible, but who knows if remastering can really salvage a bad recording…
They should remaster As The Palaces Burn.
If they improve the production, this album may never leave my player. The production on the original version is absolutely hoffific. Maybe the worst I've ever heard.
If this is the worst production you've ever heard, you clearly have never listened to any black metal.
Yeah they should remaster As The Palaces Burn also, that cd was fucking awesome, but it sounded like fucking shit. This should be pretty sweet, not the best cd, but has some good songs like Terror and Hubris and Black Label.
i'm interested in hearing the remaster because the original has pretty bad production. the bonus tracks should be a nice treat as well.
i wouldn't mind picking up the Mastodon early days stuff. i just wish that amazon would send me my damn copy of the Lifesblood EP.
