Anniversary edition available digitally Aug 20th
Lamb of God is celebrating the 15th anniversary of its Sacrament album by releasing an expanded edition digitally and short documentary on August 20th via Epic Records. The remastered Sacrament (15th Anniversary) will contain the original album tracks, as well as previously unreleased bonus live tracks recorded at House of Vans Chicagoin the band’s only live performance of 2020. The album is scheduled for a digital release on August 20th, with a vinyl edition slated for early next year. The “Making of Sacrament” feature, originally included on the Walk with Me in Hell DVD, will also premiere on YouTube on August 20th.
Originally released on August 22, 2006, Sacrament debuted at No. 8 and sold nearly 65,000 copies in its first week. The album spawned the popular track “Redneck,” which brought the rockers their first Grammy award nomination for “Best Metal Performance.” The album was certified gold by the RIAA in September of 2019.
In total, Lamb of God has sold more than 2.5 million albums worldwide and garnered over 400 million streams. The metal giants signed with Epic in 2004 and released Ashes of the Wake shortly thereafter. The album debuted at No. 27 on the Billboard 200, sold over 35,000 copies and was eventually certified gold. Sacrament saw release two years later, followed by Wrath in 2009. Wrath sold over 68,000 copies in its first week and debuted at No. 3. The album’s lead single, “Ghost Walking,” garnered yet another Grammy nomination for Lamb of God for “Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance.” 2015’s VII: Sturm und Drang made its debut at No. 3 and put another Grammy nomination under the group’s belt for “512” in the “Best Metal Performance” category.
After intense touring, the band finally returned to the studio to record their 2020 self-titled album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Hard Rock Albums chart and peaked at No. 2 on the Top Albums chart. Following the expanded re-release of Lamb Of God earlier this year, the quintet is now readying for a co-headline tour with Megadeth on The Metal Tour of the Year, featuring support from Trivium and Hatebreed.
