Lamb of God came out of Richmond, Virginia, under a far more confrontational name, Burn the Priest, and by the mid-2000s they were one of the heavyweights of the new wave of American heavy metal. Randy Blythe barks and roars up front, Mark Morton and Willie Adler lock their guitars into precise, jackhammer grooves, John Campbell holds down the bass, and for two decades Chris Adler's drumming was the engine room, until Art Cruz took over in 2019.
The groove metal they play is all muscle and whiplash. Ashes of the Wake, in 2004, carried "Laid to Rest", and Sacrament, in 2006, gave them the spiteful stomp of "Redneck". Epic Records and Nuclear Blast are among the labels that have released them. Their 2009 album Wrath brought Grammy nominations in 2010 and 2011, and "512" earned another in 2016.
They've played Ozzfest twice, spent 2008 to 2010 on Metallica's World Magnetic Tour and opened for Slayer across 2018 and 2019 on Slayer's farewell run around the world. Twelve studio albums in, two of them under the old Burn the Priest name, they're counted among the big four of 2000s metal alongside Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold and System of a Down, and they're still going: Into Oblivion arrived in March 2026.
