Lamb of God is easily one of the most talented bands in metal today. But for now, I am going to talk their 2006 album, Sacrament.
Sacrament is the band's fifth studio album. Skillfully combining the elements of progressive rock with the harder, edgier elements of thrash, the members of Lamb of God have composed an album that is absolutely solid from the very first note until the very fucking last.
The more I hear this album, the more I am reminded of the last few albums from Pantera. The checklist of everything that made Pantera the most unique and innovative in the 90s can be found on Sacrament. Distinct vocals? Check. Solid lead guitar? Check. Drop D tuning? Check. Tight rhythm section? Check. Progressive edge mixed with elements of thrash? Check.
This album was released in 2006 right? but to be be honest, I've only listened to this album in the middle of the month of June. Fuck!
Lamb Of God was first introduced to me by one of my closest friend, Afiq. In the beginning of my college days back in 2007, Afiq was always like, " Josh listen to song!" or "Check this band out!" while holding out his Ipod to me. Also, he's one of my biggest Metal influence, introducing me to biggest bands like Slipknot, Trivium and Lamb Of God. So thanks to him, he made me a better metalhead.
Favourite songs from Sacrament:
+ Walk with me in hell
+ Again we rise
+ Redneck
+ Descending
