On August 31, 2004 (a few weeks after the first Roots metal history show), American metal newcomers Lamb of God and Mastodon each released career-defining albums that became cornerstones of a surge of metal in the 21st Century. This week, as the bands launch a joint tour playing their albums in entirety, we revisit Lamb of God’s Ashes of the Wake and Mastodon’s Leviathan with plenty of live versions, demo and bonus tracks, and even Russian-language and classical tributes. Gather your lambs and whales—and know your Rooots!
Travel to any point in metal history with brain-blasting metal and hardcore books from BAZILLION POINTS.
