Lamb Of God At Centre Bell

We've reached the end of our coverage of the Ashes of Leviathan tour that made a stop in Montreal back on August 1st.  Our co-headliner, and the final band to perform that night, was Lamb Of God.  Another key member of the American Heavy Metal movement, Lamb of God brought the house down by somehow managing to continue the streak of each band building on the performance of the ones who had previously performed.  Considering that such acts as Malevolence, Kerry King and Mastodon preceded them on the Centre Bell stage, you know that keeping up that level of power was no easy task.  Lamb Of God is another frequent visitor to Montreal and a Heavy MTL veteran, having made several appearances at the festival.  It is hard to think of a more intense singer on stage than Randy Blythe as he prowls the stage left and right, looking like an animal just waiting to strike us down with his words.  Like Mastodon before them, Lamb Of God are also celebrating the anniversary of one of their albums.  Ashes of the Wake was released in 2004 and immediately forced people to take notice of the band.  The album was inspired by events that took place during the Iraq War and is considered to be one of the greatest heavy metal albums of time and helped cement the band as a force that to this day still can’t be stopped.  Much like with Mastodon's set list, songs from the other albums were put to the side for this show was the anniversary of Ashes of the Wake was what the tour was built around.  Lamb Of God's most recent album, Omens, was released in 2022.  All of the photographs were taken at f/3.2 with varying focal lengths and ISO.  Here are the rest of the photographs that I took of Lamb Of God while performing during the Ashes of Leviathan tour here in Montreal.
