Lamb of God Deluxe Reissue

Prosthetic Records reports: Prosthetic Records is proud to announce a deluxe reissuing of LAMB OF GOD's influential and highly-lauded debut album, New American Gospel on April 4, 2006. 

Remastered and repackaged with four bonus tracks, exclusive liner notes from the band, and the video for the proven classic "Black Label," alongside a re-imaging facelift from longtime band collaborator Ken Adams, LAMB OF GOD's now famous debut album finally gets the treatment it deserves in 2006. The music on New American Gospel has quickly become both essential and classic metal material, having already helped to revitalize and re-inspire a once stale American metal scene and assist in usher in this decade's New Wave of American Heavy Metal and forever leaving its mark on the worldwide metal scene. With the band's brand of death-influenced thrash metal with hardcore grooves, and a plethora of devastating live shows through the band's diehard work ethic, LAMB OF GOD continues to wave the flag for uncompromisingly heavy music, even half a decade after the band's breakthrough album.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
