Lamb of God is an American heavy metal band hailing from Richmond, Virginia, formed in 1994. Originally going by the name Burn the Priest, the band changed their name to Lamb of God in 1999 to avoid any potential controversy linked to their original moniker. The band's lineup consists of Randy Blythe (vocals), Mark Morton (guitar), Willie Adler (guitar), John Campbell (bass), and Art Cruz (drums), who replaced the founding drummer Chris Adler in 2019. Lamb of God is known for their consistent delivery of high-energy and aggressive metal music, characterized by its ferocious riffs, complex drum work, and distinctive growling vocals.

Over the years, Lamb of God has established itself as one of the leaders of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal movement. They've successfully amassed a dedicated fan base with an impressive discography that includes albums revered by both critics and fans alike, such as "Ashes of the Wake" and "Sacrament." Their self-titled album "Lamb of God" released in 2020, along with its Deluxe Edition, showcases the band's commitment to evolving their sound while staying true to the heavy metal roots that define them. Complemented by hard-hitting singles like "Memento Mori" and "Nevermore," and their memorable collaboration "Wake Up Dead" featuring Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, the band continues to exert a significant influence on the contemporary metal scene, a legacy marked distinctively by powerful lyrics and relentless sonic force. With their subsequent release, "Omens," Lamb of God reaffirms their status as a mainstay in the metal genre, continually engaging audiences with their relentless and uncompromising music.
