Lamb of God’s “Wrath” Turns Ten Years Old


As the chaotic decade of the aughts was closing down, metal’s upper echelon of bands was never in better hands. Few bands embodied the changing of the guard like Richmond Virginia’s Lamb of God who ushered in the decade with New American Gospel (Prosthetic) after famously changing their name from Burn The Priest and really reset the bar of possibility for modern, popular metal bands. The upper tier of genre greats were struggling to find themselves, so along with other leaders of the era such as Mastodon, Gojira, Amon Amarth, and Machine Head, LoG spearheaded a new generation. The five albums (and one live album/DVD) the band put down in ten years really each marked their own distinct high point for the band. Wrath (Epic/Roadrunner) arrived with fanfare and expectations higher than ever. Three years after the slickly produced Sacrament, the band was craving the rawer, more direct approach of their earlier albums and went with producer Josh Wilbur at the helm. Of course, their musicianship was never higher and lyrically the album would touch on timeless themes of American politics, religion, fear-mongering, desperation, anger at systematic injustice, addiction, and self-analysis.

“As The Palaces Burn” By Lamb Of God Came Out Fifteen Years Ago


At the start of 2003 there was a rumbling in the underground that would reshape the musical landscape for the next generation. Lamb of God was coming off of their brutal New American Gospel (Prosthetic) album after transition from their debut album as Burn The Priest. Ears were not prepared for As The Palaces Burn (also Prosthetic), which smashed expectations and brought the band an army of fans that that are still passionate about them today.

Lamb Of God – The Duke


lamb-of-god-the-duke-ep-ghostcultmag

While you may be aware of Lamb of God’s status of one of the leaders of American metal for over fifteen years, you may not know how passionate the members of the band are about their fellow people. Perhaps that doesn’t matter to you, and you only like your music without the entanglement of human affairs included with your “bree bree bree” death vocals. Maybe music is your ultimate escape from the coils of life and you’d rather not think about the hard stuff.Continue reading

D. Randall Blythe’s Show Me What You’re Made Of Exhibit Opens


 

Randy blythe exhibit header

If you told me sometime in 2000 that the singer of Lamb of God, whom I saw in Poughkeepsie NY opening up for GWAR, would have his own art exhibition 15 years later I might not have believed you. Tonight we were in downtown Manhattan at Sacred Gallery NYC experiencing just that. A reception to salute of the opening of D. Randall Blythe’s Show Me What You’re Made Of: A Special Photography Exhibition was held. The event was packed with fans and friends of the man. He was around for the entire evening, answering everyone’s questions about each piece, recreated as large format fine art prints for this gallery setting with custom mades frames. His work is very versatile: going from light-hearted to some very dark and personal pieces. It’s an extremely in-depth look into the multifarious mind of Blythe. On the eve of the opening, Randy remarked about his passion for photography and the journey that led to the creation of this collection:

I’ve been lucky enough to travel literally around the world several times for my job, and for the last few years I have carried a camera with me everywhere I go. Show Me What You’re Made Of will showcase fine art prints of what I consider to be some of the most striking images that I have collected, both at home and during my travels. The body of work is quite diverse, and in an attempt to highlight that diversity, all the photos will be shown in custom made frames made of reclaimed wood, adding to the individuality of each piece. The frames are made by my friend, Richmond, VA musician Greta Brinkman (former bassist for Moby, The Deborah Harry Band, White Cross, and currently with RVA doom merchants Drug Lord). I am especially pleased to have my first exhibit at Sacred Arts, a gallery with such a solid connection to my community- the underground music and arts scene. I hope to see as many of you as possible at the opening, so come on out, check out some photography, and be sure to say hi to me and Greta!”

When asked if this exhibit was going to tour, Randy said if another gallery asked, he would consider it. Show Me What You’re Made Of… is showing at Sacred Gallery NYC from now until June 30th. See it while you can, it’s worth it.
