Lamb of God has been a part of the Mesa Boogie Artist family since late 2002. It has been great to see the growth from these five humble and polite Virginians through the years both musically and personally. Thank you guys!!

Lamb of God has recently finished recording the follow up to 2006’s Grammy nominated Sacrament. The Wrath is due for release February 24, 2009 on Epic.

In the meantime, they will be playing some new material and older favorites while they are out with Metallica and The Sword this December.
They will then be in the UK with Dimmu Borgir, and Australia for the Sound Wave Festival in February 2009. Then it is Japan for a few dates in March.

2009 will be an exciting year for LOG!

In other news – the recent DVD release “Walk With Me In Hell” is now certified Gold. It documents 2 years on the road supporting Sacrament. Previous DVD release “Killadelphia” went Platinum in September 2008! Congratulations, guys!
