LAMB OF GOD Drummer Schedules Vancouver In-Store
November 16, 2008LAMB OF GOD drummer Chris Adler will make an in-store appearance on December 2 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Tom Lee Music in Vancouver (929 Granville Street),British Columbia, Canada. This will mark Chris' first appearance at Tom Lee.
LAMB OF GOD guitarist Mark Morton recently spoke to MTV.com's "Metal File" about the Richmond, Virginia band's forthcoming album, "Wrath", due on February 24, 2009.
According to Morton, the members of LAMB OF GOD decided well before even writing a single note for "Wrath" that they wanted to make a record that sounded nothing like 2006's "Sacrament", and the guitarist feels they were able to do just that.
"We usually try to do something fresh every time," he said. "This one, I think, is deliberately a little more raw and more aggressive than 'Sacrament' was. 'Sacrament' was a really, really dynamic record on every level, and the songs were all over the place — it was also heavily produced. This one's really raw and real-sounding, from every angle, and we're celebrating imperfections on this record. We're choosing what takes stay on the record based more on their character and personality than how completely mechanically precise they are. It's more about vibe and attitude in the takes than it is about, 'Wow, that was perfect.' It's the perfect ones that get thrown away, because they're just too sterile."
"The guitar tones are a little cleaner than normal," he added. "We're kind of getting into this mind-set that clean is heavy. Clarity is a lot heavier than oversaturated. It's just real raw and natural and organic-sounding, which, in itself, is kind of revolutionary these days, when kids are making pro audio-sounding recordings in their dorm rooms, on their laptops, and cutting and pasting verses and choruses. It's no longer cutting edge to make a completely space-aged, robotic-sounding record. I think it's almost fresh now to make one that sounds like an actual band played it. Don't get me wrong — it still sounds airtight and rehearsed, because it is all those things. But it's just real."
