Cancer is a scary and dominant disease.\u00a0 I know this on a personal level just based on the family I have lost due to it, but also for the family that has survived it.\u00a0 So when given the chance to review Lamb Of God<\/strong>\u2019s new EP \u201cThe Duke<\/strong>\u201d, with the title track\u2019s subject matter being about a fan of the band with terminally ill leukemia , I found the subject matter compelling.<\/p>\n

Wayne Ford<\/strong> is the man that the song is dedicated to.\u00a0 Vocalist Randy Blythe<\/strong> first encountered the man while he was receiving treatments for the disease and paid tribute to him on stage at the particular show he attended.\u00a0 After a few years, Blythe was put back in contact with the man to lift his spirits after he was informed that Ford had become terminal with the disease.\u00a0 After striking up a friendship and being in contact with each other in his final days, Blythe decided to write \u201cThe Duke<\/strong>\u201d as not only a tribute to his fallen friend, but as a reminder that cancer is a fierce animal, and more awareness needs to be given to bone marrow donations so that patients are given a better chance for survival.<\/p>\n

And with that, the song was born out of this unfortunate story, but with this new material comes a chance to tell a new story about how we can all increase awareness.\u00a0 As far as the musical component of the song goes, Blythe<\/strong>\u2019s clean vocals are showcased, making me think he should incorporate this style into much more of the band\u2019s future music as it\u2019s a very nice contrast to his hellish sounding growls.\u00a0 The song has more of a straight-ahead groove than the more technical aspect that the band incorporate usually.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great song.<\/p>\n

The other original song included on the EP is \u201cCulling<\/strong>\u201d, which is a more technical song than the first; a great pummeling and fist-pounding track that would sound perfect inserted into one of their live sets.\u00a0 And speaking of live, the final three tracks are comprised of live material.\u00a0 \u201cStill Echoes<\/strong>\u201d is performed from the \u201cRock Am Ring<\/strong>\u201d festival, and \u201c512<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cEngage The Fear Machine<\/strong>\u201d are performed from \u201cBonnaroo<\/strong>\u201d.\u00a0 All three songs are played with the usual high intensity that the band is known for, and shows further proof about why they\u2019re one of the more rousing live acts going these days.<\/p>\n

So with the knowledge that we just received some new music from the group to be excited about, let\u2019s not forget the reason we were treated to them, and that\u2019s because of the impact that Mr. Wayne Ford<\/strong> had on Blythe<\/strong>.\u00a0 R.I.P Wayne<\/strong>, I\u2019m sure you\u2019d be incredibly happy with this tribute to your life and fight if you were still here with us.<\/p>\n
