Lamb of God – ‘Omens’ CD

Lamb of God’s ‘Omens’ delivers a powerful, impassioned blend of groove metal. The album brings together the band’s two decades of experience in the genre, resulting in an album that is both dynamic and aggressive.

The album begins with the urgent ‘Nevermore’, a fast-paced track with crunching guitar riffs and intense drumming. It sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is full of energetic and heavy rock songs. ‘Gomorrah’ is another standout track; galloping drums and driving riffs propel the song forward as the vocalist passionately conveys a feeling of desperation and urgency.

The album also features some slower, more melodic songs, such as ‘To the Grave’. This track features soft, melancholic vocals combined with a gentle guitar to create a surreal atmosphere. The album also features a number of collaborations with other metal bands, such as the blistering ‘Checkmate’ with Testament.

Overall, ‘Omens’ is a must-have for any metal fan. Lamb of God have created an album which is both intense and accessible, making it perfect for both long-time and new fans of the genre.
