In the midst of a North American tour opening for Metallica, American metal band Lamb of God will perform in support of their latest release Wrath at the RBC Theatre at the John Labatt Centre, with special guests GWAR and Job for a Cowboy.

Lamb of God began their ascent to the forefront of modern heavy metal 15 years ago as a self-described “pure American metal” quintet from Richmond , VA.  Beloved by a rabid, grass roots cult of underground
thrash fanatics, the band has released five albums, including 2000’s New American Gospel, 2003’s As the Palaces Burn, 2004’s Ashes of the Wake, 2006’s Sacrament and most recently, 2009’s Wrath.

Revolver Magazine said of Wrath, “Almost a full decade into their harrowing journey through the metal wilderness, Richmond 's finest deliver an album of biblical proportions." NME said, “[Wrath] sees them move away from the mechanized pummeling that bogs so much of this genre down in favour of a looser approach. It’s still a lot like getting hammered in the skull for an hour, but Wrath allows enough range between the power-chug of “Grace” and the forbidding rumblings of “Reclamation” to lift them a long way out of the pits of hell.
