Review
So, how black do you like your metal? Virginia's Lamb of God pull out all the thrash gimmicks: double-time kick drums, twin-guitar assaults, grunting vocals, apocalyptic visions of mankind's end, etc. But unlike many of their overreaching, Slipknot-influenced contemporaries, Lamb of God deliver a meticulously crafted metal assault. Songs such as "Ruin" start off at a fast chug, then build momentum through an escalating series of guitar solos. Singer Randy Blythe seems content to fade into the intricate wall of noise, growling and shrieking his dark… Read More mantras from inside the mix. One exception: a spoken-word anti-Bush tirade in the midst of "Blood Junkie." Can't wait for that Dixie Chicks cover. KIRK MILLER
