Biography

15 years ago, LAMB OF GOD began their ascent to the forefront of modern heavy metal. A self-described “pure American metal” quintet from Richmond, VA, took deliberate steps, paid the dues and withstood the knocks as an underground, un-commercial metal act.

Beloved by a rabid, grass roots cult of underground thrash fanatics thanks to brutal and technical albums like 2000’s New American Gospel and 2003’s As the Palaces Burn, the band toured relentlessly. Their uncommon work ethic, uncompromising musicianship and intellectual lyrics set them apart and the band has risen to the top of the independent metal scene.

LAMB OF GOD has built a career and a catalog of material that has inspired and fueled the evolution of Heavy Metal in the new millennium. The fact that LAMB OF GOD are still with us — after more than a decade that’s seen countless bands arrive on the scene and then disappear forever into the mists of obscurity — can basically be attributed to a combination of integrity, hard work and even harder riffs.

The band was originally named Burn the Priest. This was changed after they were banned from playing certain venues, due to owners believing the name was "evil".
