Live Review: Lamb of God in Edm.

EDMONTON - Nice touch staging a metal show on Good Friday. Of course, it's just a coincidence that an unwholesome quintet of thrash metal bands led by Lamb of God happened to be touring through Edmonton on the day that marked the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

New Reviews: The Prodigy, JJ Cale, K’Naan, Papa Roach

The guys who played electronica like they were rock stars in the ’90s grow old, start getting clumsy and uninspired… Hey, just like real rock stars do! Not even the march of time can stop these guys from creating a constant stream of pummeling, vacuous rave noise — which writer Will Hermes says is “useful mainly for thrash dancing and scaring neighbors.” • The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die The great 16th album from JJ Cale comes just in time to influence country blues rockers like M. Ward. Still sticking to his guns at 70, he might even be the model for indie-rock longevity. • JJ Cale - Roll On Somalia-raised, Toronto-based rapper K’naan thinks like Bob Marley, flows like Eminem and mixes African music with conscious hip-hop, unabashed pop and even metal. • K’Naan - Troubadour Sloppy Atlanta “flower punk” band Black Lips clean themselves up for their fifth album, biting the 13th Floor Elevators and singing about the New York Dolls. • Black Lips - 200 Million Thousand One of indie rock’s great also-rans, Clem Snide returns with an album that’s simultaneously edgy and refined. • Clem Snide - Barracuda Intrepid Mexican electronic band Kinky return for their fourth album and still get the party started, even if it’s with ham-fisted chants and mash-ups • Kinky - Barracuda Virginia extreme metal powerhouse Lamb of God delve into grooves and tunes on their sixth album. They change their model, they still stick to an old blueprint. • Lamb Of God - Wrath Papa Roach hasn’t been a rap-rock band for a little while now. But what exactly are they? • Papa Roach - Metamorphosis All Rolling Stone album reviews

Inside Lamb of God’s “Wrath”: Metal Band Unleash Straight-Up Thrash on New Album

Photo: Ungar/FilmMagic 2008 was meant to be the year Virginia metal band Lamb of God learned the importance of being idle. After pumping out four studio albums since 2000 and filling the gaps with seemingly endless touring, the members wanted nothing more than to take the whole year to do absolutely nothing. By April, they were jamming and writing new material. The result is Wrath, Lamb of God’s most frenzied album in over half a decade. Its predecessor, Sacrament, debuted at Number Eight in 2006, but what made that record succeed isn’t a formula drummer Chris Adler is keen on repeating. “We were learning more about what we would do differently next time than about what we could do with that record,” Adler said. “The goal for me this time was to make a straight-up, heavy metal, thrash record that doesn’t rely on any studio magic.” And after a moody opening instrumental, Wrath delivers just that. “In Your Words” jump starts the album, as Randy Blythe bellows — trying out a new, borderline melodic voice — about “A sacred cash cow with sickly tits,” a line the rest of the band didn’t want on the album and which serves as a veiled commentary on the music industry. After the reflective Sacrament, a deeply personal album that found Blythe exorcising his personal demons, Wrath turns its lyrical focus outward, and returns to more of the breakneck riffing that characterized the band’s early material. For Adler, a change in producers (from the single-monikered Machine to Josh Wilbur) was the kick in the pants that his band needed to recapture its more visceral side. “I think in many ways we caged the animal that we were for Machine,” Adler said. “We were limiting ourselves in what we were really best at doing, which is writing fast thrash metal songs. Working with Josh helped us remember those things about our own band that had been kind of pushed aside on the last two records.” The best example of Lamb of God unchained is “Contractor,” a full-on rager that blows down the do
