2&2: Lamb of God

(PR) While you were probably drinking green beer on St Paddy's Day, Mark Hensch was checking out a show with Lamb of God, Machine Head, Gojira, and Trivium. Before the show Mark sat down with Lamb of God's Willie Addler. Here is part of their conversation.antiMusic: Sacrament is also interesting as it marks a lyrical shift away from the sociopolitical anger of Ashes of the Wake and As the Palaces Burn towards a more subtle approach focusing on more personal matters. Was this something you guys consciously chose to do, or did it just happen? What level of input does each band member have in the writing process? ** Willie: I think it was a little of both. At the time we were recording Sacrament, we had arrived at a point in time when personal matters where more prevalent than political ones. We had already done two albums on a political bent, and we felt like we were beating a dead horse. Basically, we had said what we had to say about it, and from there we felt that the things going on with us personally far outweighed everything else
obviously, what is going on with you influences what you do creatively. antiMusic: In my opinion a song "Redneck" sees you guys walking up to the throne Pantera vacated and sitting very confidently in it. You guys were nominated for a Grammy in the "Metal Song" category this year for that, alongside Mastodon, Slayer, and several other great bands. How did it feel to finally get that kind of recognition from the music community, which typically doesn't have enough balls for a band like yours? ** Willie: You know, it was nothing we set out to do
it was never like we have to go out and get a f***ing Grammy! It is still an honor to be recognized though. It is nothing we necessarily subscribe to, but it is interesting being able to go to the ceremonies and be on the red carpet and stuff. Such a mainstream music thing as this, it is interesting seeing people like Mastodon and us get recognition and being there was kind of surreal.
