Lamb Of God‘s 15th anniversary edition of their gold-certified major label debut “Ashes Of The Wake” hit stores today, May 03rd. The band issued the record as a 2-LP set complete with the bonus b-side “Another Nail For Your Coffin” and previously unreleased demos of “Laid To Rest“, “Remorse For The Dead” and the album’s title track. A digital download of the record is also featured with the new vinyl release.
In celebration of the anniversary, a lyric video for “Another Nail For Your Coffin” has newly debuted online and can be found below via Loudwire, who are also running a new interview with the band’s guitarist Mark Morton, reflecting on the creation of the record.
As for why “Another Nail For Your Coffin” didn’t make the cut for “Ashes Of The Wake“, Morton offered:
“Sometimes the reason songs get left off really just comes down to a vote. As I recall, there was some apprehension after I introduced that song, musically. The outro is this really soaring, kind of melodic, almost major-key piece. At the time, I think that some of the band members were a little apprehensive about stepping out of our lane to that degree.”
