| Posted: The Rockaway showcase series returns with Lamb Of God and Bring Me The Horizon. METALHEADS, gather around your ritualistic bonfire and rejoice. Get the "wall of death" propped up. This year's Rockaway showcase series – delivered in two gigs – is set to feature American heavy metal band Lamb of God and British metalcore quintet Bring Me The Horizon in action at KL Live in Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. Lamb of God is scheduled to rock the house on Sept 28 alongside local acts Tempered Metal and Deja Voodoo Spells. Formed in Richmond, Virginia in 1990; Lamb of God features vocalist Randy Blythe, guitarist Mark Morton and Willie Adler, bassist John Campbell with drummer Chris Adler. In 2006, the band's fifth studio album Sacrament received a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance. The band released its seventh studio album Resolution in 2012 to rave reviews. Lamb of God was last in the region last year as a double-header show with Judas Priest in Singapore. The Sept 28 show is the band's first Malaysian concert appearance, much to the delight of the band's loyal fanbase here. Then on Oct 17, rock fans can head back to KL Live for another round two of the Rockaway showcase. This time, featuring Bring Me The Horizon alongside British post hardcore band Enter Shikari, Japanese metalcore outfit Crossfaith and Malaysia's very own Massacre Conspiracy. Bring Me The Horizon was formed in 2004 with frontman Oliver Sykes, guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls and keyboardist Jordan Fish. The band's third studio album There Is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It, There Is a Heaven, Let's Keep It a Secret features the hit single It Never Ends. The album earned rave reviews and accolades including Best Album at the 2011 Kerrang! Awards in London. The band released its latest album Sempiternal in April. In an interview with The Independent in Britain, Sykes talked about the album's meaning. "Each song represents a different kind of realisation, whether that's credence, admission or religion. It's a process. Sempiternal stands for the realisation of something that's never going to go away," he said. Expect to hear hit singles like Shadow Moses and Sleepwalking at its upcoming Rockaway showcase in Kuala Lumpur. – Angelin Yeoh
