Tuesday Metal Mania – Lamb Of God “Laid To Rest”

Remember when MTV stood for Music Television? They actually showed videos all day. Of course, the negative side to this is they also ushered in an age of music where it mattered more about how you looked than how you sounded, but for the sake of this article, that’s a moot point.

Every Tuesday, I give you classic Metal video featuring bands you know, some you may have forgotten about, and others that just bring back good memories. Have a suggestion for a video you want to see or share? Lay it down in the comment section, and your video may be next week’s featured tune.

And now, today’s video:

Lamb Of God - Laid To Rest

While this song is only 9 years old, it's still a classic in my eyes.

The first single from Lamb Of God's 4th album "Ashes Of The Wake", the song is meant to be a first-person narrative of a murder victim, haunting his killer from beyond the grave. The lyrics may also have a connection to the Iraq War, like most of the songs from "Ashes of the Wake".

This song has been covered live by hip hop band Gym Class Heroes during the 2008 Vans Warped Tour.
