New American Gospel is the debut album of Lamb of God, released in 2000. It was the first release with Willie Adler on guitar. Prosthetic Records reissued New American Gospel in 2006. It is remastered and remixed with 4 bonus tracks. The remastered version contains a note on the inlay that explains why the sound of the album is less polished than their newer work. According to the inlay, it was in part due to time constraints as well as heavy drinking.

"Black Label" was released as a single.
