LambOfGod, not to be confused with the nickname of [[{{Jesus}} that really famous guy with the beard]], is a five-piece metal band from Richmond, Virginia. They are considered the main band of the "New Wave of American Heavy Metal".

* DarkerAndEdgier -- While past albums had songs that dealt with war, religion and loss of family, among other mature topics, "Resoultion" is seen as their darkest album as not only is the lyrics more depressing and frightning, but the tone and style of the album is considered by some to be on par with {{Pantera}}'s "The Great Southern Trendkill", a just as grim and dark album.

* IndecipherableLyrics -- Quite a fair bit of the time. But ''especially'' so with "Black Label".

* TearJerker - "King Me", if the dark depressing lyrics, the haunting OneWomanWail in the background or Randy's horrific screams of rage and insanity don't get to you, especially [[LastNoteNightmare at the end]], don't know what will.

LambOfGod contains the following trope examples:

* ChristianRock -- Subverted, hard, because they're not a Christian rock band despite the name. Also, see "Gannon Banned". [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqdZpxkzNvc The video for "Redneck"]] screws with this when a mother asks the band to play a child's birthday party. [[HilarityEnsues Guess what happens...]]

LambOfGod, not to be confused with the nickname of [[{{Jesus}} that really famous guy with the beard]], is a five-piece metal band from Richmond, Virginia. They are considered the main band of the "New Wave of American Heavy Metal", which technically makes them the contemporary version of Music/IronMaiden.

* {{Metalcore}} -- They have been strongly associated with the genre in the past, and their prominent use of breakdowns should be noted here; but YourMileageMayVary as to whether they actually count as a metalcore band. However, there are many non-metalcore bands that use breakdowns (Pantera, Slayer, Sepultura, {{Behemoth}}), and metalcore itself is not that breakdown-oriented (being a trait that was [[{{Flanderisation}} flanderised]] when {{deathcore}} came along), frequently having guitar solos as well as breakdowns.

* ChristianRock -- Subverted, hard, because they're [[NotChristianRock not a Christian rock band]] despite the name. Also, see "Gannon Banned".

Since then, they have released five more studio albums: ''New American Gospel'' (2000), ''As the Palaces Burn'' (2003), ''Ashes of the Wake'' (2004), ''Sacrament'' (2006), and ''Wrath'' (2009).

** It certainly helps that the first name they went under was [[CrossesTheLineTwice Burn The Priest.]]

* EpicRiff - "Laid to Rest", "Redneck", "Omerta", "In Your Words"... quite a few, as you can tell.

* WizardBeard -- Bassist John Campbell has one of these; while he's not the oldest member of the band (that would be 39-year old Randy), it's going grey a lot faster than his hair, and he's been letting it grow much longer on the ''Wrath'' tour.
