According to the All Music review, Alex Skolnick and Chris Poland have guest guitar solos. Does anyone know what songs?

"Ashes of the Wake," with Skolnick soloing from 1:56 to 2:57 and Poland soloing from 3:45 to 4:15. Nufy8 02:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The first riff of 'Laid to Rest' is incredibly similar to the riff from 'Into the Pit' by Testament, on their album 'First Strike Still Deadly'. The Testament album was released first, so it could be a case of Lamb of God 'stealing', 'borrowing' or 'ripping off' this riff. I have tried to find sources to back this up, but I could find nothing but tablature for the two songs. The song 'Laid to Rest' also appears on the EP 'Pure American Metal', which could have been released before 'First Strike Still Deadly', but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any information on this, or think it's worth mentioning? It's interesting to note Alex Skolnick soloing on the album, being Testament's guitarist.

Until a reliable source can be found commenting on the similarity between the riffs, it probably shouldn't be mentioned as per Wikipedia's original research policy. By the way, "Into the Pit" was written nearly 20 years ago; First Strike Still Deadly is a re-recording of Testament's classic songs. Nufy8 19:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you really need a "reliable source" when you can just...listen to it? 65.189.210.173 10:20, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, because interpretations can vary between listeners. As I said, this is a violation of Wikipedia's policy on original research. Nufy8 14:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Laid to Rest aimed at war in Iraq?[edit]

When reading through the lyrics to 'Laid to Rest', it doesn't make any sense to me how this song would be politically charged and about the war in Iraq. From my point of view, it sounds more like they are about social relationships between humans, and vengeance. I have heard people say that Randy Blythe mentioned that the song is the narrative of a murder victim who comes back to life to drive his victim to destruction (Which even is the meaning that is already written on the page for the song).

GENRE?[edit]

this album is NOT groove metal... if anything you could possibly consider it metalcore but it is most definutely metalcore/death metal... it sound EXTREMELY similar to sacrament which has the metalcore label —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.148.88.135 (talk) 02:50, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
