So, I picked up LoG's latest album. I was expecting it to be similar to Ashes of the Wake, but boy was I wrong! The band took a different approach to the riffs and the vocal style this time around. Randy (vocals) does a awesome job belting out the vocals. This time around, he changes his pitch and adds a new dynamic to the vocals. Mark Morton and Willie Adler (both Guitar) really perform well, adding new intensity to the songs with their infectious riffs. John Campbell (Bass) also performs well and can really keep up with the two guitars. Chris Adler (Drums) can play the double bass like no other. His drumming style is unmatched and really progressive.
All in all, I highly recommend getting "Sacrament". Even if you have a remote interest in Thrash and Groove Metal, go out and buy it. You will not be let down. Also, if you can shell out an extra 5 bucks, the Special Edition comes with a "Making of Sacrament" DVD (plus 2 different videos for "Redneck") and a 3 song live EP.
What are you waiting for? BUY IT TODAY!!!

Mark Morton (Guitarist for Lamb of God) said it best in the Making of Sacrament DVD (paraphrasing): "Fans always expect you to sound like you did one album ago. When Palaces (As The Palaces Burn) came out, they wanted you to sound like Gospel (New American Gospel), when Ashes (Ashes of the Wake) came out, they wanted you to sound like Palaces."I agree with Mark on this one. Most fans are use to hearing your previous album and don't really want you to stray from the sound they are use to hearing. If bands never experiment, how can they ever evolve musically? Just my opinion, of course... |

Back in the day when Metallica was king and metal was still in its infancy i think they did a great job of evolving from one album to the next without loosing there fans (that is until bob cock came along) - anyway if you listen to killem all you can hear that speed/thrash metal that was starting to pick up a following in the early 80's. Going into Ride the lightning they still have that Speed Metal sound on songs like Fight Fire with Fire and Creeping Death but they also throw in some new direction like Fade to Black and For Whom the Bell Tolls. If you were to listen to Kill em all and then Master of puppets or And Justice for all you wouldn't even think it was the same band. But because each progressive album held enough of the sound you enjoyed from the previous album you would keep listening to the CD until the 'new sound' was something you were used to and could appreciate.
I think that bands need to evolve otherwise you get stuck with crap like Disturebed or Godsmack which keep on releasing the same shit your already sick of hearing - its important for bands to not alienate there fan base by evolving to much though!
