Lamb Of God Unleashes The Beast At Their 'Resolution' CD Release Show In New York City - Full Report & Killer Images Available!

On Tuesday, January 24, 2012, Heavy Metal history was written in New York City. In celebration of Lamb Of God's NEW studio album entitled 'Resolution', 1200+ headbangers took over the legendary Irving Plaza to witness an intimate, balls out, and extremely ferocious set by Richmond, Virginia's Lamb Of God! The event was warmed up by openers Too Late The Hero and The Acacia Strain, which in our opinion did not do justice to what the Lamb Of God fans paid for (which was a lot of money). Of course everyone came to see Lamb Of God, but neither of these two bands have the caliber to be opening for one of the most important bands in the Heavy Music world!

With that said, once Lamb Of God took center stage at around 10:00 PM, the entire place exploded into what could have easily been confused with a warzone! The Virginia Metallers kicked off their set with a NEW song entitled "Desolation", which sounded way better than on the album. We've always said it: Lamb Of God is a LIVE band and their most recent recorded work does not do them justice.

One thing that sets apart Lamb Of God from the rest of the pack, is their level of professionalism. Even though they had a few technical glitches with their guitars, they didn't let this affect their performance and the overall sound of the band was pretty damn good. We personally believe that part of the problem was that their equipment is made for big venues and not intimate ones like Irving Plaza.

And then you got D. Randall Blythe, one of the best frontman in Heavy Music! While some of his band members are still getting into touring mode, Randy is ready for the bands World Tour in support of 'Resolution'. Sporting a NEW "rasta" look, Randy is proof that sobriety can lead to wonderful achievements. His voice sounded like it was infected with nails from the get-go, and never cracked. Not even in the most brutal parts of a given song.

All in all, it was a vulgar display of true Heavy Metal! Lamb Of God will be busy touring the entire world for the next few years, so make sure you check them out when they come to destroy all of your senses! And hey, make sure you pick up their NEW album 'Resolution'!

Lamb Of God Setlist - New York City, Irving Plaza, January 24, 2011

1) Desolation
2) Ghost Walking
3) Walk With Me In Hell

Lamb Of God's Randy Blythe - 5 Tips For Aspiring Musicians!

Randy Blythe from Lamb Of God is considered one of the top vocalists in Heavy Music today. Revolver Magazine, recently unleashed their 100th issue and in order to make this very special issue a BIG hit, they decided to pay tribute to the '100 Greatest Living Rock Stars'. During this special feature, Revolver Magazine asked Lamb Of God's Randy Blythe to offer some useful advice for aspiring musicians.

1. “Get a college degree.”

2. “Be nice to everyone. Don’t act like an entitled fuck because the people you see on the way up are going to be the same people you see on the way down. And you never know what’s gonna happen. There are no guarantees in this business. It could all disappear tomorrow and if your career goes down the shitter you might need to call in a few favors. Maybe someone needs a new band member, and if you’ve been nice to them, maybe they’ll think of you, but if you were a dick, that’s all they’ll remember.”

3. “Treat your crew with respect. They’re the reason you aren’t schlepping your own gear anymore.”

4. “Don’t trash the fucking dressing room at the venue, unless the owner of the venue is a complete asshole, because somebody has to come in there and clean it up. It might be someone’s grandma.”

5. “Don’t blow your money on a bunch of stupid shit like drugs and alcohol if you can help it. Save some. Again, there is no guarantee in this business. There’s no pension plan or retirement fund. One day you aren’t going to be the shit anymore and you aren’t gonna have a band. You can’t go on tour and make money. So don’t buy an Escalade, get a goddamn used Honda. I’ve never owned a new car in my life. I bought a nice Toyota truck with not that many miles on it last year. That’s the nicest thing I’ve ever bought.”

Lamb Of God is set to release their seventh studio entitled "Resolution" and it is set to be released on January 24, 2012 via Epic Records (one day earlier internationally through Roadrunner). The CD was producer Josh Wilbur, who worked on the band's last effort, 2009's "Wrath".

The band has also announced the track-listing for "Resolution":

01. Straight For The Sun
02. Desolation
03. Ghost Walking
04. Guilty
05. The Undertow
06. The Number Six
07. Barbarosa
08. Invictus
09. Cheated
10. Insurrection
11. Terminally Unique
12. To The End
13. Visitation
14. King Me

Limited-edition pre-order bonus live album "Wrath - Tour 2009/2010" track listing (available only with the UK version):

01. The Passing
02. In Your Words
03. Set to Fail
04. Walk With Me In Hell
05. Hourglass
06. Now You've Got Something to Die For
07. Ruin
08. As The Palaces Burn
09. Blacken the Cursed Sun

BANDHAPPY has amassed many well known music industry professionals as part of the service launch. Additional teacher applications will be accepted soon.

“Being in Periphery with Matt, I've been able to watch the building of BANDHAPPY from the beginning,” states Periphery guitarist and producer, Misha Mansoor. “It’s amazing actually, seeing how it started as an idea and now being able to use it! The layout of the site is simple and fun, super user-friendly, and can really connect a lot of people. It's a revolutionary system with customized video chat specifically geared toward music lessons. Any musician from any genre, or any part of the music world will be able to apply to teach and join an incredible starting roster of teachers.
