comes up with the most complex of<br />

rhythms that showcase his talent. The<br />

guitarists Mark, Willie and John are<br />

amazingly talented as well, for they<br />

produce beautifully complex melodic<br />

riffs. This band has one of the biggest<br />

fan-bases in the world of metal music.<br />

Metal is the kind of music that gets<br />

you off your feet, gets you excited and<br />

very often leads to headbanging. A<br />

majority of people think metal itself is<br />

just random chaotic noise but that is<br />

not the case. If you take the time to<br />

actually listen at least once, you will<br />

understand how melodic and<br />

meaningful metal is. I was not a fan of<br />

metal at first because all it gave me was<br />

a headache, but a friend persuaded<br />

me to give it another try and this time<br />

I listened properly and I got fully<br />

many innocent civilians who were<br />

killed for no reason whatsoever by the<br />

American forces. It expresses a<br />

Marine's feelings when he has no<br />

other choice but to follow orders<br />

blatantly. He eventually defies the<br />

order and tells America, “I will not kill<br />

unnecessarily anymore”.<br />

I recommend this song to everyone<br />

“Lamb of God has a unique way of hitting<br />

people with a dose of reality”<br />

coming back. Lamb of God has a<br />

unique way of hitting people with a<br />

dose of reality both in real world<br />

events and also, how to deal with life<br />

in general.<br />

out there, even to those who don't<br />

listen to metal, because this song is<br />

instrumental and there's not a lot of<br />

screaming. Lamb of God also has a<br />

special connection with their fans all<br />

over the world. The one that caught
