Lamb of God + Anthrax + Deafheaven + Power Trip

Mixing a rock-solid neothrash attack with hardcore vocals and a punk-rock eye toward the body politic has earned Richmond quintet Lamb of God an enviable status as one of the few underground bands to attain major-label status without compromise. (Plus, the group is a beast live.) The formula remains intact—and intense—on their newest release, VII: Sturm und Drang. Also on board on this heavy-hitting bill are thrash metal pioneers Anthrax and blissed-out, post-rock-ish black metal renegades Deafheaven.
