They've been pegged as "metalcore," but Lamb of God are a straight-up American metal band in the tradition of Pantera and Metallica. Sacrament, the Virginia five-piece's fourth LP, carries on much like the Lamb's previous records and is full of open-string chugging, relentlessly forceful drumming and Randy Blythe's bear-in-a-trap roar. There are missteps, such as the drawn-out "Pathetic," which goes nowhere, slowly, and the excessive overdubbing of Blythe's vocals throughout the record. Sacrament hints that the band may be running in circles a bit, but fans of that sort of thing should line up.
