"Cross Off” was a very free flowing and natural process. Everyone that worked on it put a lot of energy and emotion into it. I feel like you can really hear that in the track, and absolutely in Chester’s performance. #Anesthetic #CrossOff. Listen now:

Last night while opening for Judas Priest, I suddenly couldnt remember if the intro to Redneck is the whole riff or just the 1st half cycled. Walked up Art & asked him. He just looked at me terrified. So while Randy introduced the song, I had my tech play it for me on his phone.

I drank alcoholically for 30 yrs & suffered crippling opiate addiction for 10. I thought I’d never have my life back & accepted that I’d end up dying from addiction. Then, in desperation, I sought help from people in recovery. If you feel hopeless, please know that there IS hope.

Sal used to love Lamb Of God as a kid but lately has been devastated to learn that we have political opinions.
@MarkDuaneMorton I used to love LOG since I was a kid in high school. Then I join Twitter and see that my favorite guitarist, someone I’ve met In person and look up to, is political and going after some of my favorite politicians. Devastating. I hate the way celebrities and musicians have become.

If you’ve seen a Lamb of God show within the last 4-5 years, NOBODY on stage was playing along to a click track. That’s not a dig at people who do…in fact, most pro bands use clicks live. I’m just saying that, for better or worse, we don’t. Maybe some day we will. Hope not!.

The best 3 Lamb Of God albums (not necessarily in order) are:. - “Lamb Of God” (2020).- “As The Palaces Burn” (2003).- “Wrath” (2009). Some of our biggest songs are on other albums, but in terms of individual ALBUMS, as cohesive collections of songs, those are the best.
