Most of you probably know about this already, but I thought I'd post it anyways.
Official Press Release:
LAMB OF GOD joins forces with Slayer
A true unholy alliance. LAMB OF GOD, one of the biggest headlining metal acts in the US joins forces with Slayer with support from friends in Children of Bodom and Mastadon for their first US tour since The Sounds Of The Underground 2005 Festival almost one year ago. LAMB OF GOD are currently at home in Richmond Virginia recording their sophomore Epic Records recording (8/06) with Producer Machine (Clutch, King Crimson and LOG’s ground breaking Epic Records debut 'Ashes Of the Wake)(2004).'
According to Revolver Magazine who recognized the band with the honor of Album of the Year 2004 states, “the entire metal community is watching their every move…. and nearly a decade as one of the underground’s foremost purveyors of extreme metal…”
“Civilization as we know it may indeed be on a flaming rocket ride to hell, but here’s hoping we can all hang around long enough to witness Lamb of God terrorizing the mainstream with their angry, articulate music.”
Drummer Chris Adler states, "Since we took the time off to write our new record, several well known tour opportunities and offers did hit the table - many discussions occurred late last year, but at the time we were uncomfortable committing to the projected lineups. It’s a tough line to walk weighing opportunity vs. what you consider the intention and integrity of the project. You have to know yourself and respect your audience or you will lose step very quickly. We are heavy metal band – we’re not interested in trying to sell a record to everyone. We write “ugly” music for “ugly” people and we have no intentions of lightening things up for more appeal. If you know of us and don’t like us now, you never will and we aren’t missing you.
When discussions began with Slayer about a US run together, we knew this needed to happen. We've done shows together in the UK and let me tell you, it is one of the most intense and brutal nights of music I have ever witnessed both on and off the stage. This will not be a normal heavy metal tour, this is roaming devastation. As a life long fan of heavy music, this is the show that I would want to see - this is the show that the fans deserve - this is the show that will raise the bar and this is the show that will not be forgotten."
LAMB OF GOD may introduce new material from their forthcoming album on the Unholy Alliance Tour.
