To celebrate the release of their fifth studio album, Wrath, LAMB OF GOD have created the Escape The Plague contest.

The first 100,000 copies of the album will include a card that will direct the fan to Lamb-of-God.com/escapetheplague.

Once at the site, the fan will be instructed to enter the code listed on the card and answer three questions. The site will then randomly select 100 winners, who will then be directed to the prize page to select their prize.

As each prize is chosen, the site will automatically delete that prize and will do so until all prizes are claimed.

The site will go live at midnight, February 23rd, 2009.
