Are you a metal fan who is disappointed that your favourite genre is under-represented in Rocksmith? Occasionally you may even be vocal about that fact in the comments of a Facebook post, a YouTube video, or even an article on this humble website. Well, prepare to be satisfied, for this week, at least. Next week’s DLC is three songs from a band that can hold the claims of being both modern metal masters AND a group who’s frontman my nearly 63 year old mother tremendously respects: Lamb of God.
On Friday, Dan posted this photo:
Since we’ve already let the cat out of the bag on the artist, there’s no surprise here anymore. That said, are you not curious to see how we got here?
In what seems to be practically a tradition at this point, the forums found a way to link this image of Jan Hus to Rage Against the Machine. It is not Rage Against the Machine. It took 10 pages, but TerribleAcorn found the original image the clue was taken from.
Finally, kangshred seems to figure it out.
Also worth mentioning: bcat129 predicted the pack before Dan put out another clue announcing all the songs.
So, there you have it. It’s Lamb of God next week, and here are the songs you can expect to shred come Tuesday!
- Lamb of God – Ghost Walking – Eb Drop Db
- Lamb of God – Laid to Rest – Drop D
- Lamb of God – Walk With Me in Hell – Drop D
Redneck is one of my favourite tracks to play, so I know that I’m excited for this pack. How about you? Will you be picking this up? Do you wish there were more songs in this pack? Let us know in the comments!
Colin Behnke Yep, but people who vocalized in that way were the exception rather than the rule. I mean, today you hear almost all the so called metal made in that way, but years ago singers in metal bands actually were able to sing, at least the better ones…
Oskar RT Harsh vocals aren't exactly a new thing. Far harsher vocals started getting widespread use in the mid-80's.
They're so unheard of their last 3 albums only made the top 10 on the billboard! With their last album hitting #2.
We all know that bands are obscure indie-bullshit if they aren't #1 right?
Did nobody get the burn the priest reference?

MAN! That "The bands I haven't heard of, shouldn't come as DLC" comment/post… That's such a huge classic, that Hold the Line is maybe the only thing more classic I've seen in weeks.
I'll buy but if you don't like it don't buy
So sold super tech metal to the haters it takes skill to pull it off not everyone's cup of tea but I put up with all the other downloads just accept it an let's go on
I think I'll pass. Screaming is not music to me.
Well, new comer metal fans who enjoy this kind of, well, new metal, which by the way is a sub-genre that is not really enjoyable at all, mostly because the barking like voices that those bands tend to use…
"thrash and shout" is my death metal Beatles cover band
F YESSSSSS!!!!! Richmond VA in the HIZZY!!!!!
Wow, people really will find a reason to complain about pretty much anything.
Awsome!!
AWESOME riffs to play !
It's one thing if you don't like them, I'm not a big fan either, but these guys aren't exactly obscure.
im a metal fan but these just scream its not even music its just thrash and shout! at least give us metal bands who make music not noise
One of the most popular metal bands that no one has ever heard of. That makes SOOOOOO much sense.
Get out you ignoramus.
ahh yes, the indie underground band Lamb of God, who could forget them
Just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean nobody has. This is one of my favorite bands and I most definitely will be purchasing this dlc.
How long have you lived outside your cave?
See ive heard of lamb of god but they arnt someone who i would want to play on rocksmith. They are a popular band amongst metal fans
Great. More bands no one has ever heard of. I think their primary criteria is "what can we license dirt cheap".
