New Lamb of God

It's OK, good tone... Probably the Mesa Badlander. They've been using those a lot in the studio recently. Their first two singles off this new album are much more of a departure for them. One is called "Sepsis" I think? It's gotta pretty cool bass tone in the verses.
 
They're like the modern metal version of Metallica and Sacrament is their black album.
 
One of my all time favorite bands! But yeah, recently just kinda been the same thing, just toned down a bit. Wrath is a fucking monster front to back. I liked Sturm und Drang, but anything after that hasn't really grabbed me.

As far as newer bands...Sylosis and Revocation are still crushing it. Hath is pretty fucking killer, too. And I've been digging Fit For an Autopsy and the last few Cattle Decapitation albums.
New Revocation is incredible.
 
As a long time fan of LOG, they have definitely grown stale to me over the last 10 years. I miss Chris in the band but Art is still a monster drummer.

With all that said, their live shows are still among the best. They are so heavy sounding and they have a great catalog of songs with the exception of the most current stuff IMO.

Can't argue with any of that.

Last saw them with Slayer on the "farewell tour" a while back. LOG stole the show by a big margin and they played mostly classic songs.

I've seen them so many times, and have had mixed feelings about some of their performances...some of that isn't their fault, but...

Every time I saw them before Randy went to prison was fucking stellar. Sounds of the Underground in 2005, Sacrament tour, tour with Metallica and Gojira in 99...amazing. Especially the SotU and Metallica shows. Holy shit man, amazing. That show also got me into Gojira because that was one hell of a performance, too. I saw them on tour when he came back from prison, and all they just seemed tired without much energy. Hard to blame them. Saw them with Slayer a couple of times, and those were generally great, but short sets. Saw them once with Slipknot, and that was not a great show. Again, hard to blame them...someone got hurt so they stopped playing until that was resolved, but their set was like 25 minutes, so they only played maybe 4 songs. The last couple of times I saw them, one was pretty solid, and the other was just kinda meh. Maybe because they played a lot of the newer songs that I'm just not into.

Anyway, I still love LoG, and those records up through Wrath all came out when I was in HS and college, so lots of nostalgia attached to them. Plus so many banger songs and great one liners. Reminds me of Arnold movies lol.
 
Doesn't even sound like the same band. If not for Randy's vocals I wouldn't have known that it was LOG. Different guitar tones, different drumming...last good song they released was 512...and I'm a longtime fan.

same with me, i saw them a million times back then, every tour they were on i seemed to know someone to get me in, i got trashed with them a couple times. my first youtube videos i posted 20 years ago this summer was i believe in their dressing room hanging with Alexi on the Unholy Alliance tour, they remind me of good times
