Lamb of God is basically the new Pantera. It's the same inbred redneck retards going to their concerts. At least this time your precious gods don't have a past they think they have to deny in order to be 'cool'. Even Pantera's own website makes no mention of their first 4 albums.
They never became this...
Until they were introduced to this bands demo:
"Pantera has come under harsh criticism within the heavy metal world in relation to New Orleans thrash metal band Exhorder. Some fans have accused Pantera of stealing from Exhorder the groove metal sound for which it became famous. While Pantera's style change on 'Cowboys from Hell' was released before Exhorder's debut, 'Slaughter in the Vatican', Exhorder self-released two demos in the late 1980s (the time that Pantera was still playing glam metal) that a number of fans believe to be the real birth of the musical style Pantera popularized."
