I am a music enthusiast with a deep love for the energy of crowded venues, loud music, & passionate fans. I have a diverse background that includes private security, talent buying, festival security planning, & media relations. I've also worked as a camera operator for various projects, including music videos featuring notable artists like Bernz, Tech N9ne, & Krizz Kaliko. Additionally, I am a camera operator for Full Moon Features, where I contribute to the production of horror movies.

In celebration of the 15th anniversary of LAMB OF GOD’s massive Sacrament album, Epic Records is issuing an anniversary edition of the album and short documentary.

The remastered Sacrament (15th Anniversary) will contain the first album tracks, also as previously unreleased bonus live tracks recorded at House of Vans Chicago within 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 premiere on YouTube on August 20th. Watch the trailer below.

Originally released on August 22, 2006, Sacrament debuted at #8 and sold nearly 65,000 copies in its first week. The album spawned the favored track “Redneck,” which brought LAMB OF GOD 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 quite 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 #27 on the Billboard 200, sold over 35,000 copies in its first week within the USA, 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 #3 within the US, smashing into the united kingdom official album chart at #25 (and at #1 within the rock & metal chart). The album’s lead single, “Ghost Walking,” garnered yet one more Grammy nomination for LAMB OF GOD for “Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance.” 2015’s VII: Sturm und Drang made its debut at #3 (USA) and a UK career-best #7 and put another Grammy nomination under the group’s belt for “512” within the “Best Metal Performance” category.

After intense touring, LAMB OF GOD finally returned to the studio to record their 2020 self-titled album. Following the expanded re-release of Lamb Of God earlier this year, the quintet is now readying for a co-headline US tour with Megadeth on The Metal Tour of the Year, featuring support from Trivium and Hatebreed.

LAMB OF GOD‘s headline tour of the UK will take place in December 2021.
