Liner Notes
Ashes of the Wake is a work on which LAMB OF GOD brought together low-surging guitar riffs, complexly switching rhythm and rough roars at overwhelming density. The groove is heavy, the songs are always pushed forward, and the aggression never breaks. It is a signature work that pushed the band at a stroke into a leading role in the metal scene.
On “Laid to Rest,” “Now You've Got Something to Die For” and “Ashes of the Wake,” while having technical variation, everything converges into the physical impact of the riffs. Songs like “Hourglass,” “Omertá” and “Remorse Is for the Dead” breathe the band’s full playing too. They bind modern metal’s weight and punkish urgency. Achieving great success on the US chart too, it is a record that made LAMB OF GOD’s name definitive.
