Three floor mates of Virginia Commonwealth University formed the Lamb of God in 1990. Mark Morton, Chris Adler and John Campbell were serious about their endeavor, so inspite of the chilly weather they began to play at Adler's house in Richmond. Morton moved to Chicago after college and the band continued with Abe Spear. The four some were known as Burn the Priest and they were well accepted and were a regular at the close Richmond music scene. To be at par with their contemporaries the band practiced endlessly. Morton rejoined the band and they released a self-titled full length album on Legion Records. After the release Abel left the band and Willie Adler joined the group. Soon after the band changed its name to Lamb of God. The band with the new name signed a deal with Prosthetic Records. In 2000 the band released heir first independent album New American Gospel. The band went on an extensive tour for two years and after that they released their popular album As The Palaces Burn. Popular magazines like Revolver and Metal Hammer gave the album record of the year honors and the mainstream press gave it ample coverage.

About Lamb Of God
The band set off for a world tour after the release of the album. With the performance of Lamb of God on the first ever MTV's Headbanger's Ball Tour it was catapulted into the main stream. After that the band released a DVD having early live performances, videos for "Ruin" and "Black Label" and behind-the-scenes film spotlighting the work ethic, humbleness and sense of humor of the most important bands around today. This venture too became a hit and was at number 32 on Billboard Music DVD Charts. Their disc As The Palaces Burn released in 2003 took them to another level and with the 2004 release of their album Wake the band had truly arrived. They became a real competitor for the metal throne.
The album was voted as the album of the year by Revolver magazine and the readers of the Guitar World considered it to be the best metal album and gave the band "most valuable players," "best shredders" and "best riffs," awards. The band has pushed itself in doing better and better in every album, they wanted to give their best and they have been successful in doing so. They wanted to come up with something that couldn't be separated, categorized or ignored.
In 2006 they released Sacrament, this album is the proof of the evolution of the band down the years. The songs of this album are desolate and dark, but it exhilarates the listeners.
