I discovered LoG because of Sam and his movie the Headbangers Journey in the 2000’s. Cool to see them sit down for another interview 20 years later

Hi guys, here is the latest delivery, adding to my other 15ish t-shirts. I saw LOG 2010ish, 🇸🇪, and it became a loved band. T-shirt design is great. I do miss the mash up between LOG and Mastodon very cool design.

What is your favorite t-shirt design

Just wanted to share this little momento I've held on to over the years. It is important to me because it represents both when my taste in heavy music start to shift over the year or so leading up to it, and it was just days before Ashes released and everything changed for the boys in LoG. Palaces put them on the radar, but Ashes sent them into orbit. It's since gone on to become my favorite metal album ever.

It's not just the what but also the when of that album. It was a time when music still heavily relied on blogs and message boards to spread the good word (shout out to the old lamb-of-god.com message boards). Nu-metal had taken the genre in a weird direction. Tracks from Palaces started showing up on MTV, an album so good that not even poor production could keep it off many a "Top 10" list, but it was only a prelude to what would come next.

Laid To Rest showed up over the summer of 2004, and sent the anticipation through the roof. I probably streamed the demo version from their website's popup player a billion times. Fast forward to late summer at the Ozzfest stop in Burgettstown, PA on August 28, 2004, the last set they played prior to AotW being unleashed upon the world. I spent the entire show just staring at Willie and Mark's playing. Blew my mind.

Stood in line and had a copy of the demo CD they were handing out that day signed by all the boys. I very specifically remember asking Mark if he was excited about the upcoming release, to which he responded, "Nervous as fuck, man, but I think it's killer!" That was an understatement. Three days later, AotW (and Mastodon's Leviathan!) flipped what I thought I knew about metal on it's head, and the rest is history. \m/

Note: As you'll notice, there are six signatures, but only five members of Lamb. I spent some time in the past trying to figure out who "Derrick Smalls" is. IIRC he was either a merch dude or a roadie? My memory is kinda shit on this haha, but chime in if you know more!
