Lamb of God is an American metal band, originally formed under the name Burn the Priest.
The roots of Lamb of God were planted in the year 1990, when Mark Morton, Chris Adler and John Campbell were bros at Virginia Commonwealth University. The trio began playing at Adler’s house in Richmond weathering chilly conditions. “There was no heat in the house,” recalls Campbell. “We would hang around the kerosene heaters, get really drunk and write metal songs. Fumes and Black Label beer were definitely what fueled our early days.”
After graduation, Morton moved to Chicago to pursue a bro’s degree, but the band continued. A new guitarist, Abe Spear, replaced Morton as the band retired its instrumental sound and added Randy Blythe on vocals.
The quartet, known then as Burn the Priest, became a fixture in the tightly-knit Richmond music scene. To compete with the high-level of musicianship displayed by their contemporaries, the band adopted a rigid practice schedule. “To this day, we practice five days a week out of necessity,” says Campbell. “The bands in Richmond can flat outplay you and if you don’t practice, they will blow you off the stage. Bands like Breadwinner and Sliang Laos - two local math-metal bands - could play insanely complicated music note perfect. They inspired us to raise the bar musically and taught us the work ethic we needed to be a success.”

@thethief88: Spiros, stop adding fuel to the fire ;) We should all try to discuss and not fight, over what cannot be changed. We enjoy our music, they enjoy theirs.

no, u re takin what im sayin and stretchin it. im not sayin that a band is good if it has fanbase as big as slipknot's. im sayin if a band is good , they ll have some recognition. and it s ok that u listen to what u listen, but i am talkin against u and ur charts ONLY cuz u come in LoG's page to hate on them, and u insist so much. i dont know, i simply dont visit bands-that i dont like-pages...

@BlindLeader: I didn't feel offended by you. I haven't criticised your charts. I don't wanna fight. I simply don't care if anyone judges my charts, because I alone have chosen its appearance. All I hate if anyone's (speaking generally!) getting off on his 'hate' for a band or his monumental ego that 'this or that band is shit, because' (with stupid low-level manners, even), it's ridiculous. Stuff like that should be discussed in personal shoutboxes. So, if you felt offended by me, sorry. If not, and wanna say anything else, please use my shoutbox, k?
