461 Ashes of the Wake by Lamb of GOd

Walk with us through hell (wrong album for that pun, I know) as we take a look at a Heavy Metal classic that carries as much weight today in 2026 as it did back in 2004 when it was released.  This week we're covering "Ashes of the Wake" by Lamb of God. Released in 2004 as the United States was at war with Iraq and Afghanistan , this album is a perfect time capsule of what was in the political air.  In many ways a warning of what may be in 2026. Musically, one of the best written albums as well. Mixing influences from across thrash, metal core, and groove, this album would become one of the peaks of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal movement.
