What with their sixth album being released next month, I was wondering what is the general concensus on these guys. I highly rate them all as musicians and also I find Randy's lyrics to be quite political and generally badass! Will they ever come to the Republic for a gig?

Sephiroth_dude · 05-12-2011 2:31pm

new album next month?,seems like only yesterday they released there last one

chin_grin · 05-12-2011 2:33pm

They blew Slayer away when they supported them in the point in 2001 (was it?). I haven't given them a spin in AGES, might put on some burn the priest and work my way back up.

Think that was around 2007. Just slightly off with 2001 there. :pac:

Yep, I absolutely love them. I was at that gig in the point with my son (he was there for Children of Bodom and I for In Flames) and we both came away LoG fans.
Very much looking forward to the new album and tour.

Edit: just got news of new track streaming here: http://www.metalsucks.net/2011/12/05/exclusive-metalsucks-track-premiere-lamb-of-gods-ghost-walking/

Holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, the teaser track is just more of the same awesome-ness!

D.Q · 05-12-2011 8:48pm

their latest album is amazing. Randy can take credit for possibly the best metal vocal performance ever.

I do like me a bit of Lamb of God I do. I was in my teens when As the Palaces Burn came out, that disc had a monopoly on my cd player for so long.

This

and of course Vigil were the highlights for me.

Actually Vigil is still one of my favourite songs. Great to hear that there's a new album coming out.

Heading to this on my lonesome but really looking forward to it. Should be awesome.

old gregg · 08-06-2012 2:15pm

should be awesome is an expression I'd use too. Can't wait.

etloveslsd · 08-06-2012 2:22pm

Myself, the brother and the missus are heading along. Saw them in Academy 2 or 3 years ago when Five Finger Death Punch supported. Both bands were amazing. LOG just about beat them.

Can't wait

I'll be up around 1 or so to check into a hostel, so I'd be free after that if you wanna head for a pint.

coolio. I'll be driving up from Waterford so won't hit town till around 6. But if someone local wants to nominate a nearby watering hole then perfect.

Bloody leaving cert! I wanted to see them live so damn much

not to worry, work hard, get the points, course, job, lifestyle and you'll be able to catch them anywhere in the future. The certainly seem together enough to not be going away any time soon. Best wishes with the exams!

Angron · 09-06-2012 10:16pm

Oh brilliant! Sylosis is the support act for the concert, I'm delighted!

TheStickyBandit · 09-06-2012 10:54pm

I'm driving up from Cork with my brother and driving back after, If I wasn't I'd meet some fellow boardsies for a scoop!

DrumSteve · 11-06-2012 7:39pm

I watched a recent interview with them, and Randy said that one of the biggest misconceptions about LOG is that they're an anti-Christian band. Found that statement a bit odd considering the band name, album names and lyrics of their songs! Plus the band used to be called Burn The Priest...I mean seriously.

I'd seen an interview with maybe Mark recently saying that he's quite religious. Dunno, doesn't bother me either way as long the music's as great as it has always been.

Doesn't bother me either. It's just confusing! :pac:

Very excited for the Belfast gig tonight

. I've had my ticket since the day they were released (which was also my birthday so I got one as a present), so glad time has just flown in :pac:

TheStickyBandit · 12-06-2012 10:33am

Anyone have spare tickets for the academy? I tried adverts but people a dog slow to get back to ya!

Is there a possibility of getting tickets up there also?
