PROSTHETIC RECORDS SET TO RELEASE DELUXE VERSION OF LAMB OF GOD DEBUT

On April 4, 2006 Prosthetic Records is proud to announce a deluxe reissuing of LAMB OF GOD?s influential and highly-lauded debut album, New American Gospel.

Since the original release of Lamb Of God?s ?New American Gospel? the face of American metal and metal music as a whole, as fact, has by no means been the same. Never ones to sacrifice underground credibility and a bludgeoning sound for commercial success, LAMB OF GOD instead brought success to the metal underground, opening the doors for their contemporaries and inspiring a legion of up-and-coming bands along the way. Quickly transforming from a group of Richmond, Virginia metalheads into one of heavy metal?s most admired and influential bands of the last decade, LAMB OF GOD is now a living testament to the old motto ?a little hard work goes a long way,? and New American Gospel

Remastered and repackaged with four bonus tracks, exclusive liner notes from the band, and the video for the proven classic ?Black Label,? alongside a re-imaging facelift from longtime band collaborator Ken Adams, LAMB OF GOD?s now famous debut album finally gets the treatment it deserves in 2006. The music on New American Gospel has quickly become both essential and classic metal material, having already helped to revitalize and re-inspire a once stale American metal scene and assist in usher in this decade?s New Wave of American Heavy Metal and forever leaving its mark on the worldwide metal scene. With the band?s brand of death-influenced thrash metal with hardcore grooves, and a plethora of devastating live shows through the band?s diehard work ethic, LAMB OF GOD continues to wave the flag for uncompromisingly heavy music, even half a decade after the band?s breakthrough album.

After the trail Lamb of God blazed with their Epic Records debut ?Ashes of the Wake?, never has there been a better time to unsheathe this long-deserved, updated take on a new American metal classic to the hordes of heavy music fans that have, since the release of New American Gospel half a decade ago, been inspired by the revolutionary and scene-leading band LAMB OF GOD has become today.
