Come 15th of April this year, Metalheads will finally get the chance to experience Pure American Metal when Grammy nominated band, Lamb of God, perform on our shores for the very first time at D’Marquee, Downtown East as part of their Wrath World Tour.
Consisting of vocalist Randy Blythe, guitarists Willie Adler and Mark Morton, drummer Chris Adler and bassist John Campbell, the quintet from Richmond, Virginia, will prove to everyone why they are considered the leaders in the New Wave of American Heavy Metal movement.
According to Mr. Andre Alabons from organisers LAMC Productions, this is not the first time they have attempted to bring the band to Singapore.
“We’ve been trying to get Lamb of God to add a Singapore date for two years but due to timing and schedules not working out, nothing materialised,” said Andre.
Despite such setbacks over the years, LAMC Productions continued to monitor the rise of Lamb of God because of their solid reputation for live shows and ever increasing fan base.
“They (Lamb of God) have earned Grammy nominations and their Singapore fan base is increasing with every album released. Lamb of God is one of the biggest metal bands right now and 2010 is the right time for them to come to Singapore,” Andre explained.
Lamb of God has released six studio albums since their formation in 1994 with their latest one, Wrath, being the most commercially successful.
Released in February last year, Wrath sold more than 68, 000 copies in the United States during its first week to debut at position number 2 of the U.S Billboard 200 charts.
The track “Set to Fail” from Wrath has also earned them a nomination for a Grammy in the 2010 “Best Metal Performance” category.
When it comes to the Grammy Awards, Lamb of God are certainly no strangers with their song, “Redneck” from the 2006 album “Sacrament”, earning them a nomination in the same category back in 2007.
Instead of the usual venue of Fort Canning Park where numerous metal bands such as Megadeth and Dream Theater have previously performed, Andre said that the live shows of Lamb of God are more suited to an indoor venue and D’Marquee is the right choice.
On top of performing at numerous major music festivals all around the world including Download Festival and Ozzfest, Lamb of God has also served as the direct support band for metal giants, Metallica, during their 2009 World Magnetic Tour.
Attendees of this upcoming concert can expect nothing less than an intensive, high energy head banging time in what could be this year’s hardest and loudest concert.
