Lamb of God – New Album To Be Released In August
After headlining the ‘Sounds of the Underground‘ 2005 Touring Festival ending in August 2005, LAMB OF GOD bunkered down in their hometown of Richmond Virginia to begin the writing process on the follow-up to the bands 2004’s release ‘Ashes of the Wake.’
“We’ve taken this process very seriously,” notes drummer Chris Adler. “We have been spending 5 or 6 days a week and 6-8 hours a day writing. It’s a very intense and productive process that has paid off in a very big way.”
Following several months of writing, the band took a break in December 2005 to headline a successful European run.
“Initially we didn’t want to do it because we thought it would interrupt the writing process and leave us, yet again, with less time than we wanted to write the album. In fact, this was the best thing we could have done. Not only were the shows bigger than we anticipated and extremely refreshing after being locked up in our smoky rehearsal hole – but it gave us an opportunity to step away from the material, let it sink in a bit, and return to attack it with a renewed vision and inspiration. This is something we’ve never had the luxury of doing and it has made a very positive difference.”
The band has tapped friend and producer of ‘Ashes of the Wake‘ Machine to handle the production duties for the upcoming effort. Pre-production is scheduled to begin in Richmond on March 13.
“Everyone wants to know what the new material is like or have us compare it to something. It’s tough to do because when your proud of something you want to say it’s better than something else or that it’s more of this or that. I don’t want to do that – every LAMB OF GOD CD has been a snapshot in time, a puzzle that spelled out who we are as individual musicians and as a band. They each represent a certain amount of experience and ability – and without saying more, we now have more of both of those than ever. We have continued to raise the bar for ourselves in every aspect of what we do, and we are expecting more of ourselves than ever heading into this. We’re looking forward to tracking and releasing this intense and very heavy release.”
The as of yet untitled release is tentatively expected to be released though the bands label Epic Records in late August of 2006. The band has also confirmed touring plans both before and after the release. These will be announced shortly.

Cool.
In my opinion, this is one of the coolest bands out there right now. The guitar playing is stellar, the drums are punishing, the vocals are great…hell, even the bass is pretty intricate and quick. All in my opinion… :smile:
A big 'meh'.
Can't wait…if not for some great music but something other than the same songs I've been hearing for two years
wow, 30-40 hours a week. how do these guys find time to sleep.
this cd is gonna be hard to follow up to ashes of the wake but i think they could pull it off.
i jsut hope they start touring boston againa fter it comes out i havent seen the since june
Most over rated metal band ever! Fuck em
"Opinions are like ass holes…everyone has them, and they all stink"…I still don't understand the value of commenting on a band if you don't like them? You don't see me commenting on Nevermore or Opeth's news…just seems really idiotic to me… :wink:
But you just commented on Opeth and Nevermore…
It was called an example…ya know, it is when you say something in the context of something else? You could even call it a comparison… :smile:
overrated they are not. they deserve every merit and praise that they receive. if you want overrated, try shadows fall. even though i love em, i still dont think theyre as good as people make them out to be.
Killer band, can't wait for the new album

Agreed.
They are very talented nonetheless and their next cd should kick ass. It will be tough to top Ashes of the Wake.
