Lamb of God formed, originally, under the name of Burn the Priest with Mark, Chris and John in Richmond, Virginia. Mark left to continue his education, so John and Chris replaced Mark with Abe Spear. In 1995 the band released their first demo, and three more later, added Randy Blythe to the group. In 1997 Morton rejoined the band and come two years later, released their first album (self titled) Burn the Priest. Eventually Spear left the band and was replaced by Chris' brother Willie Adler as the second guitarist. After numerous bans from various venues believing that their name possessed an "evil" meaning, the group changed the name to Lamb of God.
In 2000 they released their second album entitled New American Gospel and three years later released As the Palaces Burn. In 2004 they released Ashes of the Wake which is one of their most recognized albums. Following Ashes of the Wake are Sacrament in 2006 and Wrath in 2009.
I love Lamb of God. It's Pure American Metal, as the band says. Enjoy the onslaught.
