Biography

Originally known by the less-than-subtle moniker Burn the Priest, Richmond, Virginia-based Lamb of God decided to change their name shortly after the release of a self-titled debut in 1998. Featuring vocalist Randy Blythe, guitarists Mark Morton and Will Adler, bassist John Campbell, and drummer Chris Adler, the newly rechristened Lamb of God were launched in the year 2000 with their acclaimed New American Gospel album. The group then embarked on a lengthy touring spree, spending much of the next two years preaching its "pure American metal" at major metal festivals and small clubs alike. Work on a follow-up effort with producer and Strapping Young Lad mastermind Devin Townsend took place in between these many road jaunts, so that Lamb of God's sophomore LP, As The Palaces Burn, was released in summer 2003. Ashes Of The Wake quickly followed it in 2004. Produced by Machine, it featured the most fully realized material of the band's career. Ashes Of The Wake was both a chart and critical hit and set up a year's worth of successful touring for Lamb of God. Epic also reissued Burn The Priest, the 1998 debut from the original band. The Killadelphia DVD appeared in 2005, documenting a particularly fierce stretch of shows in Philly, and the same program's audio edition dropped toward the end of the same year. Sacrament was released in 2006, followed by Wrath in 2009. A massive three-disc retrospective entitled "Hourglass: The Anthology" was issued by Epic in 2010, covering their independent releases as well as their major-label years, and including a third disc of rarities. The set was released in two configurations: it was available for purchase in either three single-disc volumes or as a full box set. The band spent 2010 touring before eventually settling down in 2011 to record new material with producer Josh wilbur. The result was their seventh album, 2012's Resolution. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi

    If there was
    A single day I could live
    A single breath I could take
    I'd trade all the others away

    Lyrics
    So goddamn easy to write this
    You make it spill on the page
    So drunk on your self, self-righteous
    The laughing stock of your own fucking stage
    But I ain't one to call names

    Lyrics
    Pray for blood, pray for the cleansing
    Pray for the flood, pray for the end
    Of this nightmare, this lie of a life
    Came as quickly as it can dissolve
    We seek only reprieve

    Lyrics
    Do you remember, when work was bond? A fleeting promise in the light of the dawn.
    Barren December, under a falling sky. The end of days and a reason to die!
    Obliteration never looked so divine. Holding your breath for the moment in time.
    You lived through hell!! Now you're trying to die. The skin is healed but your bleeding inside.
    Shots fired, just to numb the pain. Theres no one left to save.

    Lyrics
    Privileged, a chosen few
    Blessed with our time in hell
    Witness a divine vision
    The day we all fell still
    Rapture of the dying age
