LAMB OF GOD Vs. DEVILDRIVER Bowling Championships; Video Available

April 3, 2009

While in Australia for the Soundwave Festival, LAMB OF GOD and DEVILDRIVER took part in a bowling tournament organized by the Australian branch of Roadrunner Records. What was originaly concieved to be a bit of fun turned into a competitive challenge of monumental proportions! DEVILDRIVER even took time out at home in the States to hit the lanes and practice for this event before arriving in Australia. Watch the highlights below.

DEVILDRIVER will film a video for an as-yet-undisclosed track from its new album, "Pray For Villains", on April 9 with director Nathan Cox (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, MARILYN MANSON, LINKIN PARK). DEVILDRIVER will also headline this summer's "Thrash And Burn Tour", which will kick off on July 22 and run through August 30. A European tour with BEHEMOTH and GOJIRA will follow in October.

Due out late July via Roadrunner Records, "Pray For Villains" was recorded at Edge of the Earth studios in Los Angeles with producer Logan Mader (FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, GOJIRA, DIVINE HERESY).

DEVILDRIVER recently re-signed with Roadrunner Records after previously issuing three full-length albums through the label. In addition, the band has secured a new management company in the shape of Davis Entertainment Group.

LAMB OF GOD's new album, "Wrath", has sold 120,000 copies in the United States since its February 24 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"Wrath" was produced by Josh Wilbur and was recorded in studios in New York, Virginia, and New Hampshire.

The "Wrath" album was released in four configurations: an LP, a CD, a deluxe-edition CD with bonus disc — which contains isolated recording parts — as well as a super-deluxe version featuring a limited-edition box containing an LP, deluxe-edition CD and USB drive containing two exclusive bonus tracks.

The LAMB OF GOD North American "Wrath" tour kicks off April 2 in Phoenix, Arizona with AS I LAY DYING, CHILDREN OF BODOM, GOD FORBID, and MUNICIPAL WASTE supporting.
