Product Description

Deluxe two CD edition of the 2009 album from the American Heavy Metal heads including a bonus CD that contains the 'stems' of the album (separated musical parts). Wrath is inspired by and based on the 10 plagues from the book of Exodus. After the reflective Sacrament (2006), a deeply personal album that found Blythe exorcising his personal demons, Wrath turns its lyrical focus outward, and returns to more of the breakneck riffing that characterized the band's early material. A change in producers, from Machine to Josh Wilbur, was the kick in the pants that this band needed to recapture its more visceral side. On Wrath, Lamb Of God raise the Thrash bar to a new level. 11 tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Enough!, February 24, 2009

By	jwapd "John" (Atlantic City, NJ) - See all my reviews

For the past month I've been reading early reviews of this album, and it has been getting a mixed reception. To be honest, I place this album in between Sacrament and Ashes of the Wake. It's still got a raw sound (nothing like their earlier stuff) and it has the "radio-friendly" sound of Sacrament. I know this is going to dissappoint die-hard fans of their earlier albums. I classify myself as one of those fans, but I'm not dissappointed at all. The sad fact is that bands evolve. This is far less of a dissappointment like The Haunted's latest effort..... ugh. We live in a terrible time where bands just can't seem to hold on to what made them amazing, and they lose their overall brutal sound. Wrath holds onto that quality well enough. As far as I'm concerned, nothing will ever be as great as Ashes of the Wake, or As the Palaces Burns (which would be their best album if the recording quality was up to par with Ashes), but Wrath will definately stay in my cd player for the next month or so. It's a solid album and worth a chance. I can tell it's one of those albums that needs to grow on you. I will always support LOG and in my eyes, they are one of the most consistent metal bands out there.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Album With Variety, March 21, 2009

By	J. Cordova - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While Ashes of the Wake remains my favorite LoG album to date, Wrath holds it's own. It may be my new second favorite, displacing Sacrament. It begins with an instrumental track that starts with acoustic guitar and morphs into a light groove of metal goodness. The second track hits hard and is more what you might expect from LoG. The rest of the album is basically typical LoG with a bit more variety. The last track is a pleasant surprise. The deluxe edition includes a second CD containing separate MP3 tracks for guitar, bass, drums, and vocals for each song so you can experiment with re-mixing. Very cool. Highly recommended new album (2009).

5.0 out of 5 stars LOG's Best Next To Ashes!!!, March 13, 2009

By	Mussolini (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews

Wrath is an excellent album. Randy's best vocal work, period. If you like metal, real metal, you'll love this album. It is straight forward with great riffs and focused song writing. It is a lot better than Sacrament and the production is simpler, which allows the band to truly shine with their instruments. Reclamation is the song the band's been trying to write for their last track. It is an absolute monster!
