Lamb of God is an American metalcore/groove 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 master’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.”

Burn the Priest and maybe New American Gospel were deathcore, the rest is thrash/groove.

@Rysis - You don't know shit, if any album is the heaviest and most groove metal like its Wrath. None of it is anything like deathcore.

Actually Its deathcore, its tagged falsely. Newer album is thought bit melodic, what could be described closely to metalcore. Also LoG uses alot groovy riffs.

Yawn, why do people get so agro when expressing their dislike of a band. It's seems their is always someone ready to slag the pants of something or someone. I mean I don't like Abba but I ain’t posting 50billion posts saying how much they suck. This band is amazing. I saw their tour dvd which was really honest and funny. You have to admire their dedication.

GaspingforAir, it comes down to OPINION. If you weren't trolling, you'd say I THINK this band is crap. Maybe if you'd care to back up your argument instead of looking like a 12 year old you'd be able to get your point across. Coming to the Lamb of God page and saying "this band is crap" is trolling pure and simple.
