New American Gospel is the first studio album by the newly re-named American groove metal band Lamb of God (The band's name and line-up changed after the release of Burn the Priest). It was released in 2000 through Prosthetic Records. New American Gospel is the also first release with Willie Adler on guitar, who replaced Abe Spear.[3][4]
Metal Blade Records reissued a remastered version of New American Gospel in 2006 with four bonus tracks.[5] The remastered version contains a note on the inlay that explains that the sound of the album is less polished than their newer work, in part due to time constraints as well as heavy drinking. It has sold over 100,000 copies in the United States.[6]
Music
Compared to bands such as Pantera and Meshuggah,[7] the album has been described as grindcore,[2] groove metal[8] and death metal.[2][9] CMJ described New American Gospel as "grindcore and death metal for the hardcore kids".[2] New American Gospel is noted for having a "truly killer snare drum sound".[7]

Revolver magazine called New American Gospel one of the "69 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time".[11] NME said the album "harks back to the days when Slayer ruled the kingdom of metal with speedy riffs and nihilism", and described the sound as "ferocious".[10] Kerrang! said that New American Gospel "is dawn for the most brutally aggressive band since Pantera."[citation needed] Exclaim! described New American Gospel as "a thoroughly satisfying listen and an innovative, real, heavy and scary metal album."[7]
