Lamb of God: New DVD

Lamb of God, once acclaimed as the saviours of “true” metal bring their latest effort in gritty, truth-telling material, to us once again. Their documentary DVD, “Walk with me in hell”, recorded over the two year period of their most recent world tour, is a true-to-metal, dirty retelling of the biggest metal band in the world touring the world.

Lamb of God, though they have been accused of 'softening' their sound for more commercial ears, have remained true to their fans and their music of choice ever since the bands inception in their original guise of Burn the Priest. This DVD is further proof of the bands power and integrity in the face of the fading purity of metal today.

Walk with me in hell hits the streets on June 1^st 2008 with the premier DVD trailer being previewed on Myspace.

Prepare yourself for a dark and in-depth look at the thrash-inspired metalcore band that is constantly rewriting the rules of modern metal.

Cradle of Filth follows the fall of mighty Metallica

Cradle of Filth erupted from the mid-90's with their unique gothic-tinged black metal sound. No one had heard anything like what these English extremists were producing. Dark sounds, killer melodies, romantic overtones, the bands music appealed to the entire underground culture of heavy music lovers.

Their rise to power and repute shook the music world and many parallels could be drawn between the rise of Cradle of Filth and the rise of the mighty Metallica. Listed here are the three most obvious comparison's that one could draw from their early rise to musical accomplishment:

• Dusk and Her Embrace: Cradle of Filth had garnered much respect in the underground by the time dusk.. was released, though mostly with the followers of more extreme metal. This album was their first step into the spotlight. Dusk and Her Embrace and it's effect on the band could be compared to Metallica's ...And Justice For All. Both albums still possessed the rough, unpolished sound of earlier efforts, but brought the level of the groups' respective music to a new level.

• Cruelty and the Beast: Widely considered by the bands more “metallic” followers to be their best effort to date, much like Metallica's Master of Puppets the album made the band a respectable prospect in the eyes of the mainstream. These albums, respectively, represented, for the bands', their first real step up from their peers.

• Midian: Depending on your point of view, this album, like the black album by Metallica, could be the band's ultimate production, or their first step into the black pit of conformity. No album produced by the band until this point had attained the exposure or popularity they now achieved. Both the black album and Midian gave their bands before unknown popularity, not to mention profit. Likewise, both albums were the groups' final masterpieces.

For both bands, these final, masterful works were to be the albums by which they are remembered (in Cradle's case perhaps this accolade would go to Cruelty and the Beast, depending who you asked). None of their later albums would come close to reaching the potency of these.

I am not saying that all Meatllica and Cradle Of Filths subsequent albums have been absolute rubbish, but by comparison they have been hollow and empty sounds produced by artists in the death throes of a rotting career.
