Today, Lamb of God officially released The Duke EP, to benefit the late friend of the band, Wayne "The Duke" Ford, who passed away from leukemia in 2015. Yesterday, we heard the teaser and my colleague Greg Kennelty said it sounds like 2000s Lamb of God.
Well, now that we can hear the full track, I can confirm his review. This has old-school Lamb of God written all over it…

It's interesting how much difference in sound there is between this track and the title track, "The Duke." Lamb of God still have plenty of range.
The Duke EP also doubles as an awareness-raiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and the band is auctioning some stuff off to raise money for the very same foundation. Kudos to Lamb of God for doing this.
