I have two albums like them imensly probably one of my favourite bands in Groove Metal
 fixedone thing I like about them is ther leve of techniqality on their individual instruments, great interplays and melodic but sitl brutal if they feel for it (most of the time) I have their two latest albums Sactrament and Wrath sometimes they can be as complex as Meshuggah in their best times but also as brutal as the most brutal death metal bands. Walk with me In Hell is my favourite song any other fans of Lamb here Edited by Balthamel - 06 Jun 2010 at 2:06pm |

I'd not call them particularly death metal, but they're pretty good in moderation (for me :P).
I'm a noob and so Laid to Rest is their best song to my ears. |

I would label them somewhere between modern thrash metal and at times metalcore. To label them death metal is misleading IMO.

In any case, they're an effing great live band. I saw them last year in Copenhagen warming up for Metallica.

Not death metal whatsoever. They're basically metalcore, though admittedly more thrashy/groovy than a standard one.
I guess they're alright. I don't particularly listen to them but I'm down for a few listens when I'm in the right mood.

Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

^I feel just about the same. I don�t think I would spend money on their releases but I�ve loaned them more than one time to hear what the fuzz was all about.

^ I own none of their albums, and I'm not a fan at all. But I do think they're a good live band. And I agree, they're not a death metal act.

this show how much they lay into their groove and rythmic workout of songs and nice addition of synths
cool to hear how complex the bass lines are

The drummer is amazing. I�ve written reviews of their two latest albums ( not posted yet) and the drumming is definitely what stands out IMO.

They've made some awsome tracks, to be sure. Maybe I'll end up owning some of their albums after all... ;-) And to reiterate: they're a friggin' great live band.

I'm not a huge fan, but (like Jonas) I've checked out some of their stuff from the library on multiple occasions.

I like them.
Kinda hurts now that they are big and have throngs of fanboys, but whatever. My favorite album is Ashes of the Wake. Next is Wrath. Their other stuff is all good but nothing too spectacular. I enjoy listening sometimes though, for sure. |

And I have no clue what they are
 I had them originally labeled as death metal, but thats not right at all. For a while it was groove metal, but I think I finally just put it under "Heavy Metal" same with Pantera. I still am not sure if I believe in groove metal as a sub genre |

^Groove is really not a self-sufficient genre IMO, if you know what I mean. It's really just slowed-down thrash, maybe with a few other elements too.
As for Lamb of God, they belong in metalcore. |

Yeah somewhere between thrash and metalcore. For now they are placed in thrash because of the groove element.

I suppose metalcore is possible but yeah, I dont like groove metal since its basically mid tempo thrash with more...groove, then technicality. AKA Pantera and LoG I do not see it as its own sub genre. Regardless, I do enjoy LoG. |

Sacrament (your avy) was actually my least favorite, though it wasn't bad.
And yeah, I think thrash metal is fitting. Closest fitting sub genre and really, just because they are fairly mid tempo and have a lot of groove doesn't mean they aren't still thrashy!  |

they have even touched into Tech/Extreme metal, and even some prog elements can be found in some of their songs.

A bit yes. Good band that I think doesn't get quite the credit they deserve. Either because fanboys have no idea what they're talking about or people discredit them.... There is some good technicality and even prog moments in the music! Also glad they are soloing more. |
