Lamb of God’s “Wrath” Set for February 24, 2009
LAMB OF GOD will release their fifth studio album Wrath, on February 24, 2009. The record will be released in North America by Epic and will be the first release with their new label Roadrunner outside of North America . Wrath is produced by Josh Wilbur and was recorded in studios in New York , Virginia , and New Hampshire .
LAMB OF GOD finished the touring cycle on the Grammy nominated album Sacrament at the end of 2007. The two-year trek was documented in the now certified Gold DVD Walk with Me in Hell and culminated with the band headlining arenas across the US last December.
The band has taken the entirety of 2008 off the road to focus on the writing process for Wrath.
“This album is going to surprise a lot of people,” comments drummer Chris Adler. “Typically bands that get to where we are in our career begin to slack off, smell the roses and regurgitate. We chose a different path. No one wants to hear another band member hyping a new record. Wrath needs no hype. We have topped ourselves and on February 24 you will feel it.”
As always, LAMB OF GOD will embark on an extensive tour that will cover the globe. As previously announced, the band will be supporting METALLICA on the December leg of their tour. The first leg of the Wrath world tour will start in Finland on February 6 and will encompass dates in the UK , Australia , and Japan .

sounds like this could be the 2009 metal album of the year. i cant wait to hear it.
Admittedly, Sacrament was a disappointment. I will however always look forward to a lamb of god release, and I hope this one proves far more dynamic.
This band has been very consistent with their releases. Definitely looking forward to hearing this.
More excited for mastodon.
Haha there is no February 29th in 2009
Nobody said February 29th 2009. It says the 24th.
I can’t wait personally. Imma by it the day it comes out if they have any in stock!
Signed to roadrunner now? Surely this is the end.
Monty Conner needs to die of cancer in the fucking FACE.
Just like it was the end for Opeth?
just like it was the end for opeth! you are one anonymous cock sucker that band is amazing there last relase was fucking weird and very intelligent. and this album is going to be fucking nasty!!! fuck!!!
He was being sarcastic about Opeth you dumbass. Something tells me you shouldn’t be describing anything as intelligent.
I’m looking forward to this one, hoping they’ll step outside the box a bit lie they’re saying. Manchester it is!
Can’t fucking wait
hellyeah, btw, those of you that think that Sacrament sucked, you are entitled to your opinion, but imo Sacrament showed extreme maturity in the band and i am very excited and anticipating “Wrath” if that is truly what its called.
“Signed to roadrunner now? Surely this is the end.
Monty Conner needs to die of cancer in the fucking FACE.”
They are still signed to Epic for North American Release…….just using Road Runner for distribution outside the US
Listen Chris Adler is the leader of his band and is by far more intelligent than any corporate mind.
there is no need to worry about the “end” because most likely, he’s got a plan that works.
in the mean time check out my band Red 13.
we just released our debut album, MY BITTER STORY, which can be found at fye (online) amazon (online) and itunes.
if you are a metal head from jersey, we have a local show coming up in clifton nj at dingbats. There are supposed to be record reps there. so come out and support a local killer band.
We were reviewed at a 9.0 in an online magazine.
This Fuckin Album Is Gonna Fuckin Rock….Heavy Riffs !!!
