Prosthetic to release Record Store Day edition of LAMB OF GOD debut

To celebrate Record Store Day on April 20th, Prosthetic Records will release a special gray marble vinyl re-pressing of LAMB OF GOD's groundbreaking 2000 release, "New American Gospel." Limited to 500 copies, the Record Store Day edition will feature the remastered "2006 versions" of the album's original track listing. All proceeds will go toward the Justice Now defense fund for vocalist Randy Blythe, who -- despite being exonerated earlier this year -- still faces substantial legal bills in the wake of his recent trial in the Czech Republic. You can also make a donation to Justice Now directly by clicking here. 

Produced and engineered by Steve Austin (Today Is The Day), "New American Gospel" -- the band's Prosthetic debut, and their first release under the LAMB OF GOD moniker -- is a "groove metal" landmark, and an important step in the band's ascent to the top of the "New Wave of American Heavy Metal" scene. Praised by Revolver as one of the "69 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time" and by MetalSucks as one of the "21 Best Metal Albums of the 21st Century...So Far," the album has sold more than 100,000 copies in the U.S. alone.

LAMB OF GOD Cancels New Zealand and Alaska Shows Due to Family Emergency

LAMB OF GOD Added to Norway’s Hove Festival

Due to the overwhelming response to LAMB OF GOD’s Resolution CD in Norway, the band has been asked to appear June 26^th at the Hove festival in Norway. Their appearance at the festival will necessitate the rescheduling of the June 26^th Zagreb, Croatia show at the Boogaloo and the June 27^th Ljubljana, Slovenia show at Kino Siska. Both shows will be rescheduled to be part of LAMB OF GOD’s planned European/UK tour for February/March 2013.

LAMB OF GOD Create iPhone App “Vox of God”

LAMB OF GOD in conjunction with Epic Records and Appetizer Mobile bring you the “Vox of God” iPhone App. The “Vox of God” app is a voice modulating iOS app developed specifically for LAMB OF GOD in support of their Resolution album release and 2012 tour. The app creates a vocal simulation of LAMB OF GOD lead singer Randy Blythe’s vocal style by applying advanced audio processing techniques and audio modulation to a voice that is recorded with the app. The results will generate a simulation of Randy’s signature scream/growl vocal effect when the user records their voice using the app with their iPhone. The application features a growl level indicator and several different sharing options. Users will be able to record with or without an instrumental version of the ‘Ghost Walking’ single, along with playback recording features, and social network integration where the user can share their resulted recording though email, Facebook, and Twitter.

The “Vox of God” app is now available in the iTunes App Store: http://smartURL.it/voxofgod

Too Late The Hero Announce East Coast Tour Dates With Lamb Of God

Steadily having built a name for themselves since 2003, Too Late The Hero’s sonic offerings deftly mix metal with melody, vacillating between the heavy and heartfelt, the artsy and the angst-ridden.

"We started young, we're still young and we're still hungry," vocalist Jared Wilbur said. Too the Late Hero formed while a few of the members were still in high school. They cycled through a handful of guitarists, but never lost sign of the dream. In fact, the band put itself in the driver's seat and sought to control its own destiny. "We toured the U.S. on our own – we had no agent or label," Wilbur said. "We booked our own tours through the wonders of MySpace and just by searching for shows. We'd go to someplace like Texas with our trailer and in some cases begged our way on to shows." While many bands flap their lips about being DIY, Too Late The Hero were too busy taking action and actually being DIY. They even "weaseled" their way onto an A Day to Remember headlining gig in Florida three or four years ago during a self-booked tour.

Too Late The Hero's self-starter, "yank the bull by the horns" mentality is what lead them to where they are today. Statement of Purpose is the debut release for Rethink, the brand new label venture of Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler, one of the most respected skinsmen and musicians in the metal scene and long time manager Larry Mazer. It speaks volumes about Too the Late Hero that Rethink selected them as their inaugural signing and release.

Adler stumbled upon the band via a familial connection – Wilbur is the younger brother of producer Josh Wilbur, who has worked with Adler. Josh produced his little brother's demos from time to time and that's how Adler got wind of the band. He liked what he initially heard, but when he ventured to Brooklyn to see one of their shows, he was floored and a partnership was instantly born.


"I remember what he said to me," Wilbur recalled. "He came up to me after the show and said, 'I heard the demos and liked your sound, but you gave me so much more than I was expecting.' He thought we wrote strong songs, but didn’t expect our ‘metal’ show. He wasn’t expecting as much live energy. We get real sweaty on stage. Our favorite thing in the world is going apeshit."

The debut effort from Portland, Maine’s Too Late The Hero, Statement of Purpose, was released on ReThink Records/The End Records. The album also marked the debut release and signing for ReThink, the newly launched label venture headed by Lamb of God’s Chris Adler and veteran manager Larry Mazer. Statement of Purpose was produced by Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold). This month the band is playing a string of dates with their label leaders. Keep an eye out for more dates to come!

1.24 - Irving Plaza - New York, NY
1.25 - The Paradies - Boston, MA
1.26 - The Trocadero - Philadelphia, PA
1.27 - Phoenix Concert Hall - Toronto, ONT
1.28 - 9:30 Club - Washington, DC

CYNTHESIS Album Details And Cover Art Unveiled

DeEvolution, the anticipated debut full-length from CYNTHESIS, is set for worldwide release via Sensory Records on April 19th, 2011.

 

A label priority for Sensory this year, the magnificent DeEvolution tells the story of an elite group of leaders from a heavily industrialized city who find, brainwash and then exploit an indigenous tribes' shaman, believing he would be the perfect supreme leader. By propping him up as possessing all the answers to society's ills, the elites use him in order to gain and keep more control over the masses in order to influence the masses via religion, media, consumerism and government.

 

Check out the brilliant cover artwork for DeEvolution created by Dennis "Damn Engine" Sibeijn (Exodus, Dragonforce, Lamb of God, Him) at this location.

 

DeEvolution Track Listing:

1. The Man Without Skin
2. Incision
3. Divided Day
4. Shallow World
5. Profits Of Disaster

6. The Edifice Grin

7. Twilight
8. A Song Of Unrest

 

CYNTHESIS reunites three original members of progressive metal heroes Zero Hour -- founding twin brothers Jasun and Troy Tipton and original vocalist Erik Rosvold -- for the first time on a recording since their heralded albums The Towers of Avarice [2001] and Metamorphosis [2003], both considered landmark releases in the progressive metal community. DeEvolution was recorded and produced in 2010 by Dino Alden (Marty Friedman, Tony MacAlpine, Vinnie Moore, Zero Hour), and while trademark styles of both the Tipton Brothers and Rosvold shine heavily throughout the release, over the course of eight epic anthems, it is very clear by more relaxed pace and epic story of DeEvolution that this is NOT a new Zero Hour album.
