Album Rating: 3.5

Also, I'm digging stuff like El Vacio and St. Catherine's Wheel more than I did on release. El Vacio is a nice mixture of Omerta and Overlord. St. Catherine's Wheel is a barnburner but isn't as "filler-like" as I thought originally. It just has a buildup and chorus that is so Lamb of God it's almost funny.

Yeah after coming back to this the album is the definition of a 3.5. solid album front to back but nothing to special or great. Not a song on here that's even close to a top 10-15 log track like it's a enjoyable album but that's about it. There's nothing wrong with that tho

This is my 3rd favourite lamb

Album Rating: 3.5

Even though I maintain this is a 3.5 for me, I disagree that there aren't some actual bonafide classics on this. The Killing Floor is legitimately an all-timer. It fits so comfortably in the Ashes/Sacrament era that I'm constantly taken aback when I remember that it's a track on a 2026 LoG album. "I walked your savior like a dog through his gilded doors" goes so fucking hard too.



El Vacio and St. Catherine's Wheel are also quality songs after giving them some time to grow. El Vacio is what Overlord wished it had been (and I quite liked that one off VII) and, like I mentioned above, harkens back to Omerta. If this had been a 6-song EP and stopped after St. Catherine's Wheel, I'd have said this a 5.0 classic as fuck return to form extended play. But I struggle to stay with the album for the last 4 tracks. For me it drops off really hard.



Credit where credit is due, though: this is the first new LoG in over a decade that keeps me coming back. I was so disappointed with the s/t and Omens and thought the band was done. But they still have life yet. My only selfish wish is that they move on from Art Cruz. Bring in Jay Weinberg.

AotW was their most iconic album (put them on the map and all), Sacrament dialed it up and made some truly unforgettable moments this band with forever be known for, save a couple tracks from Wrath, which I feel was this band's overall peak.

Art Cruz best performance on this

Album Rating: 3.5

It's Cruz's best performance by a mile, but it's because he's emulating some of Adler's tricks. He's incredibly talented but has seemed to compose his drums as if he's a forever session drummer who's following the script and not an official band member who has been with the band for 7 years now. There's personality on this one.

still a step down but good analysis
