Lamb of God Announce 20th Anniversary Reissue of Ashes of the Wake with Re-Recorded Version of “Another Nail For Your Coffin”
Lamb of God have already made a bunch of us feel old by announcing a tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their 2004 album Ashes of the Wake where they’re co-headlining with Mastodon who will be celebrating their own 20th anniversary of their album Leviathan. Now there’s more anniversary celebrations, as Lamb of God announced a 20th anniversary reissue of Ashes of the Wake featuring new mixes of the original tracks.
One of the centerpieces of the reissue will be the re-recorded version of the bonus track “Another Nail For Your Coffin” featuring guest appearances from Kublai Khan TX and Malevolence.
Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton had this to say about the new version of the track:
“I’m excited to see ‘Another Nail For Your Coffin’ get reborn! This has always been a really cool, unique song in the Lamb Of God catalog but it’s been overlooked since it was a bonus track. Matt and Alex both absolutely spit flames on this new, updated version, and gave it a ferocious modern energy. I’m glad to see this tune get some shine after all this time!”
Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe also threw in his own support for the new version of the song, adding:
“I’m not much for re-recording our existing material – old songs are a snapshot of where we were as a band at that time, for better or worse. But when the idea came up to have a guest vocalist re-do my parts on ‘Another Nail For Your Coffin,’ I was all for it, especially if we could get two younger heavy hitters to bring a fresh approach to the song.
“Anyone who has seen Malevolence and Kublai Khan TX know that Alex and Matt crush it – it’s an honor to have these dudes bring new life to the tune 20 years after we first recorded it.”
