LAMB OF GOD’S SACRAMENT DEBUTS AT # 8 ON THE BILLBOARD TOP 200

New York, NY – “The Future of American Metal” is here! Lamb of God has exploded on to the Billboard Top 200 with their fourth studio release Sacrament. Debuting at #8 with more than 62,990 in sales, “Lamb of God did everything a metal band is supposed to do on Sacrament.” Billboard Magazine

Produced by Machine (Clutch, King Crimson, Pitchshifter, 18 Visions, Every Time I Die), Sacrament is a diverse, articulate and pummeling album that shows how far the band has come as musicians and lyricists. In an era of stagnant, contrived metal, Sacrament is a sincere expression of the turmoil that has tumbled through the last few years of the band's existence. It is a harrowing rush of honesty, a declaration that no matter what anyone else is playing, Lamb of God will always follow their own hearts.

“…raw and passionate…a rich, diverse sounding record. Sacrament boasts an impressive degree of sonic clarity, and the band’s playing is tight and dexterous.” Revolver Magazine

“Kneel before this Sacrament and hear 21st-century metal in all its recombinant brutality Singer Randy Blythe avoids Cookie Monster cliché while keeping his growl somewhere south of Hades. How they managed to turn dangerously geeky prog chops into the sound of Lucifer storming heaven, well, God only knows”. Spin Magazine October 2006

The Richmond, VA five-piece, who recently wrapped the Unholy Alliance Tour with metal legends Slayer, will now head-out on Gigantour with Megadeath starting on September 6th.
