Biography

Burn the Priest is an American heavy metal band formed in 1990 in Richmond, Virginia. The band decided to change their name to Lamb of God shortly after the release of a self-titled debut album in 1998.

In 1990, guitarist Mark Morton, drummer Chris Adler and bassist John Campbell started a band named Burn the Priest. The band members knew each other from the college they were all attending, Virginia Commonwealth University, in Richmond, Virginia. Morton left the band soon after its inception to receive his master’s degree. Adler and Campbell replaced Morton with Abe Spear. For the next five years, the band practised in Adler’s house and around Virginia. In 1995, the band released its self-titled first demo. After the demo, Burn the Priest recorded two split albums with Agents of Satan and ZED respectively. After the band’s first three demos, Burn the Priest added vocalist Randy Blythe to its line up.

In 1997, Morton returned to the band. The following year, the band released its first full-length self-titled album, Burn the Priest, through Legion Records. The album was produced by Today Is the Day guitarist and vocalist Steve Austin. Spear left the band, leaving an open position for a guitarist. Adler’s brother, Willie Adler, became the band’s second guitarist a year later, and a deal with Prosthetic Records was signed.

    Pretty good shit! I actually just picked this up at Bestbuy and I must say its alot better than Lamb of God's stuff today, this is much more heavier and raw than LOG. Love how there's some deep throat gutturals also, and the double bass drumming is just brutal! Glad I picked up their self-titled CD! \m/\m/

    its always funny and pathetic how people argue about what genre shit is (gejm) how bout just simply metal? any form of it. the only genres you can argue about is screamo and metal cuz too many people fuck up the too. now stop arguing like a bunch of little fucking kids and enjoy the music

    No, it's not grindcore, it's pretty cool post-porn groovestyle avant-garde dubcore, you have no idea about music.

    "I love how people get all bent out of shape and "BTP was fucking awesome!!!OMG!!! LOG SUCKS!!" But it's the same fucking guys in the band....Fucking idiots. " Just because it's the same band doesn't mean there isn't a clear "evolution" in the sound/approach taken to the music. BTP was much more raw and has that air of unrefined hunger about it that some of us like more than LOG's current watered-down state...
