A radio station here in Tampa used to do this charity thing where you could donate money and they'd play whatever you wanted on air,some dude donated (insert money amount here) and brought in a burn the priest demo and had them play the whole thing....fucking amazing moment for me as I had just recently discovered lamb of God....that was many moons ago now kimosabi but I'll never forget it
Same thing for Lansing Michigan. You could literally play anything and some people put in their own band's songs, I put in Black Label, Contractor, and a couple of other mosh pit hits from LoG
I study music, mainly jazz but i love this album not only because it‘s brutal, heavy, deep and groovy af but also very well aranged and so creative. It’s a perfect masterpiece

I used the opening of this as a basis for a narrative story in high school. I put the quote at the beginning and it got me and extra 5 points. Shout out to my English teachers metal head husband who helped grade!
He’d look like a bitch if he walked out to this and then got knocked out lol how he did against poaton, I went to like amateur mma fights as a kid one with my dad cause one of his buddy’s was fighting and he was fighting a dude that weighed 20 pounds more than him and he came out to mouth for war by Pantera all hyped and shit and he thought he was so hard and he went and got knocked out in 12 seconds lmao😂😂😂😂 his two stepsons were there
In 2008 I was in middle school. my step dad gave me a SD card, I put in my DSi and opened the audio app, it was a mix of songs but I will never forget this song as my first experience with heavy metal.
The intro is as legit as it gets Have the mind to know what to do or fold if you must Known when you've won And dont make things personal refrain from making poor decisions that leave footprints
@@marklastes312 Depends on the context of the offence. Just because the offender is part of your community doesn't mean they shouldn't be held responsible for violence against innocents.
Sacrament is good too but this album is soo fuckin heavy and full of groove. The most emotional album for me, brings the goddamn vibe and adrenaline!! The best album so far!
Idk “As the Palaces Burn” has some damn good groovin riffs! First 3 albums forever. Nothing after compares. Production quality of their new stuff is amazing; songwriting, not so much.
I think wrath is easily their most brutal album in terms of lyrics and riffs. But then i don't have any childhood or teen memories of any albums. I started listening around resolution.
It is said that a warrior waits with his kills until judgment and upon reflection will become one with their kills. After such a ceremony of the mind all is healed what was an enemy is now a friend. Such is the path Of honor.

Speaking from q truth goth, Lamb of God opened up a gate of hell for me, i loved to let them in.

As cheesy as it is to say, still one of the best intros to any song ever. Right up there with songs like The Pot by Tool in terms of setting up a downright sick ass song
i was still in elementary when i knew this song through my cousin who's 8 years older than me and i remember him talking passionately about the band & album (bc i was often watching him use the pc back then). ive come to like it ever since even though i only know the intro 😂 now im in college and this shit still slaps

Seen them twice this year. Hearing this song live is one of the coolest things. 1 of the few metal bands that are way better live
Saw them in Boston for the 5th time absolutely amazing
Gosh, the Guitar tone of this whole album is so epic and the special Chris Alder dual bass drums with click symbol sound.
Mark and willie for the win!

Ashes of the Leviathan here we go. I cant belive Im still rocking to this album even 20 years later. Keep rocking!
Going to that concert in August 🤘🤘
After having learnt what Omerta is and looking up its lyrics again, I have to say, this is brilliant

Still blows my mind how heavy this is and its only tuned to drop D
It's not the tuning it's what you do with the tuning.
Drop D is the heaviest tuning my guy. It doesn't matter how low you go. Drop D has the heaviest sound to it, always.
It hasn't gotta be Double Drop D to be heavy, heavy has little to do with the tuning. Even E Standard can be fucking heavy!
