Review by Tobias on March 16, 2001.

Be wary metal fans, Lamb of God is building a pulpit in extremism from which they would not hesitate to jump down just to pummel you personally. Their preaching tool, New American Gospel, is an unadulterated work of horror.

The high-octane twin string shredders along with the muffler-free rumbling of the bass and skins lay down some of the most brutal groundwork for extreme vocalist D. Randall Bythe. This band crams grind-core, death and tooth-breaking extreme metal down your throat with all the intentions of a Charlie Manson slumber party.

Rip-roaring tracks like Black Label and Confessional are raw meat tearing teeth that will skewer you without blinking. I wouldn’t find myself surprised at all should I find this band walking down the street followed by a throng of feces throwing monkeys all decorated with various appendages of those they have sodomized along the way. Hate machines like this need to be handled with care. New American Gospel is a damn good braining of which all American metal freaks should be proud.

Like Extreme? Get it and join the hordes growing behind this new American icon of brutality.

Bottom Line: These guys are a bunch of mean mofo’s ready to hurt someone.
