Lamb of God are set to release their fifth studio album, 'Wrath', on February 23. The record will be their first album with new label Roadrunner Records.
'Wrath' is produced by Josh Wilbur and was recorded in studios in New York, Virginia and New Hampshire.
Lamb of God finished their touring cycle on the Grammy-nominated album, 'Sacrament' at the end of 2007. The two-year trek was documented in the 'Walk with Me in Hell' DVD and culminated with the band headlining arenas across the US last December. The band have spent the whole of 2008 away from performing as they worked on this new record.
"This album is going to surprise a lot of people," comments drummer Chris Adler. "Typically bands that get to where we are in our career, begin to slack off, smell the roses and regurgitate. We chose a
different path. No one wants to hear another band member hyping a new record. WRATH needs no hype. We have topped ourselves and on February 23rd you will feel it.”
Now that the album is ready to go, so to is another major tour which sees the band hit the UK and Ireland in February.
