Lamb of God is an American metal band from Richmond, Virginia. Formed in 1990, the group consists of vocalist Randy Blythe, guitarists Mark Morton and Willie Adler, bassist John Campbell, and drummer Chris Adler. The band is considered part of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal movement.
Since its formation, Lamb of God has released seven studio albums (including one released under “Burn the Priest”), one live album, one compilation album and three DVDs. The band’s cumulative sales equal almost two million in the United States. In 2007 the band received a Grammy nomination for their 2006 album Sacrament. Lamb of God has toured with the Ozzfest twice and appeared on Slayer’s The Unholy Alliance Tour in 2006. Other appearances include Download Festival and Sonisphere Festival in the UK, Soundwave Festival, Mayhem Festival 2010 and Gigantour. From 2008 to 2010 they toured as part of Metallica’s World Magnetic Tour.
Although Lamb Of God’s genre is commonly disputed by fans and critics alike, they are mainly considered groove metal. John Campbell, on the Walk With Me in Hell DVD, says that Lamb of God is “a punk band that plays heavy metal”, while Chris Adler refers to Sacrament as a speed metal album. Burn the Priest and early Lamb of God has been defined as thrash metal, death metal and hardcore punk or grindcore.
The band also incorporates thrash metal elements, which was shown as a direction on Resolution and Wrath. The band has been described by critics as metalcore. In a 2013 interview with Metal Trails John Campbell described Lamb of God’s music as hyper-intelligent, good looking, heavy metal.
