OF GOD
ANNOUNCE
HEADLINING
U.S. TOUR
FOR 2007
SACRAMENT
HONORED BY
REVOLVER
MAGAZINE AS
“ALBUM OF
THE YEAR”
FOR 2006
Returning to
the U.S.
after a
sold-out
tour of
Europe,
Australia
and Japan,
Lamb of God
is excited
to announce
a headlining
American
tour in 2007
with Bay
Area Metal
Titans
Machine
Head, modern
day metal
traditionalists
Trivium and
France’s
heaviest
metal export
Gojira.
Having spent
the summer
of 2006 on
the Unholy
Alliance
Tour with
metal
pioneer’s
Slayer and
joining
Megadeth for
the
Gigantour
tour in
September,
LOG will
kick-off
this tour in
Dallas on
February 16
as they
bring their
pummeling
live show
across the
U.S. and
Canada.
Band drummer
Chris Adler
states,
“When you
are a kid,
you dream of
playing your
music in an
arena. Once
you’ve done
it, you
realize how
much you
miss the
power and
energy of a
kick ass
club show.
We’ve been
fortunate to
be playing
some big
places as of
late, but
when we
started
talking
about a
spring 2007
Sacrament
tour, we
agreed (and
had heard it
repeatedly
over the
past 2 years
from the
fans!!!)
that it
would be
incredibly
intense for
everyone to
bring the
machine that
is LAMB OF
GOD back
into the
clubs. There
is no
comparing
the
connection
and shared
energy of a
club show.
The blood,
sweat, and
beer flying
– that’s a
proper metal
show! This
is intense
music for
intense
people -
we’re sick
of the
seats, the
ushers and
the lame
security
guards
telling
people to
calm down!
We probably
should have
left it at
that, but in
true LAMB OF
GOD form we
pushed it
further.
With a
little help
from our
friends, we
put an arena
show bill
together and
told our
booking
agent to put
it into the
clubs and
theaters –
and oh yeah,
not just any
clubs – lets
make sure to
hit a lot of
cities that
normally get
overlooked.
Let’s bring
the best
show we can
to the
people that
have been
left waiting
for far too
long. This
is going to
be
completely
out of hand
and we can’t
fucking
wait! You
have been
warned!!!
“Sacrament”,
LOG’s
sophomore
Epic Records
release, has
received
countless
accolades
from critics
including
being named
Revolver
Magazine’s
“Album of
the Year”
for 2006 and
landing at
#20 in
Blender
Magazine’s
Top 100 of
2006.
“Sacrament
is a speed
rush all the
way through,
with guitars
that match
the
fibrillating
drums and
trill even
faster. The
songs are
thrashers
gone prog-rock:
not just
verse and
chorus but
suites of
jagged
riffs,
galloping
triplets and
squiggling
counterpoint...Their
music has
grown more
nimble since
the band
arrived on a
major label
with ‘Ashes
of the Wake’
in 2004...”
