"Wrath" CD by Lamb Of God

by Florian Drees (29.01.2009) According to the title, the new Lamb Of God album is full of rage and ire, but listening to "Wrath" and its atmospheric, beautiful intro, I think of anything but that... That changes abruptly when the first rocket ("In your words") is ignited. After that, it’s one lift-off after the other: "Set to fail", "Contractor", and "Fake Messiah" are on their way to my brain! To give me with a breather, there’s this short, but wow! Acoustic intermezzo on "Grace"... And off we go again, really every song being unique and innovative. Lamb Of God have hit the bull’s eye once again with their fifth studio output - of course, there’ll be the traditional world tour to present the fans with the new material (they should be in Europe at the beginning of this year).
