Lamb of God's iconic album, 'Ashes of the Wake', turns 20 this August and to commemorate its release, the band will present a deluxe edition that includes new mixes from HEALTH, Justin K Broadrick (Godflesh/Jesu), Kublai Khan TX and Malevolence, as well as demo and live versions of the album's classic songs. You can find it starting August 30 through Epic Records and Legacy Recordings.
“I’m excited to see ‘Another Nail For Your Coffin’ reborn! “This has always been a really cool and unique song in the Lamb of God catalogue, but it's been overlooked because it was a bonus track,” says Mark Morton of the song that was originally a bonus track available exclusively on the Japanese version. of Ashes of the Wake, which was followed by a worldwide release on the album's 15th anniversary edition. “Matt and Alex absolutely spit flames in this new and updated version and gave it a fierce modern energy. I'm glad to see this song shine after all this time!
You can listen to the new version, here.
Randy Blythe adds: “I'm not a big fan of re-recording our existing material; the old songs are a snapshot of where we were as a band at the time, for better or worse. But when the idea of having a guest vocalist come back to do my parts on 'Another Nail For Your Coffin', I was all for it, especially if we could get two great younger singers to give the song a fresh take. Anyone who has seen Malevolence and Kublai Khan TX knows that Alex and Matt are great; “It’s an honor to have these guys give new life to the song 20 years after we first recorded it.”
