"Wrath" is
the long awaited new album from Lamb
of God. Lamb of God is a band that
needs no introduction to the fans
of the extreme. It is probably the
best band the American extreme scene
has to offer today. People started
comparing them with Pantera, and
though it may seem like a sacrilege
to some, the fact is that they are
equal in technique and equally influential.
The past two albums, "Sacrament" and "Ashes
of the Wake" defined them as
one of the best bands out there and
they seem to stand up to that.
"Wrath" is a solid top notch album. The band doesn't seem
to have evolved one bit. It just got better on its own personal style. In previous
albums one - two songs really stood out, like "Redneck "or "Walk
with me in Hell", but this
is not the case here. Each and every
song here is equally devastating!
So we have pure southern guitar lessons
with some amazing display of skill,
braced by an unbelievable rhythm
session, Chris Adler has indeed some
of the best dynamics out there, and
D. Randal Blythe screaming and growling
at the microphone crazy as ever.
This certainly is the perfect recipe
for destruction
This is an album for all the fans
of the extreme, whether a Lamb of
God fan or not. It is a real display
of what Pantera defined as Heavy
Music. There isn't a dull moment while
listening, no bad point where someone
would press forward and no song to
skip. It's a masterpiece from
beginning to end. |
