There are metal bands and then there is Lamb of God. A new breed of modern American metal was erected in the 2000s, with Lamb of God serving as the architects who designed the blueprint that would become the standard by which the bands that came after them would be judged. The band’s rich history includes three Grammy nominations, tours with Metallica and Slipknot and the main stage at OZZfest. Current album Resolution is riff-laden evidence of the band’s stronghold on thrash and death metal.
