Hailed as the heroes of New American Heavy Metal by legions of fans around the world, LAMB OF GOD grew from basement shows and grimy DIY venues to arena headliners, beloved with the same devotion as such spiritual forefathers and touring comrades as METALLICA, SLAYER and MEGADETH. Over the course of their career, the Richmond, Virginia-based band has created an unmistakable signature sound, injecting an extreme contemporary aesthetic to shove metal into the new millennium.
LAMB OF GOD have made history with such timeless works as 2003’s “As The Palaces Burn” (named by Rolling Stone as one of the “Top 100 Greatest Metal Albums Of All Time”),2004’s RIAA-gold-certified “Ashes Of The Wake”, 2009’s landmark “Wrath”, 2012’s diverse “Resolution” and 2015’s explosive “VII: Sturm Und Drang”, the latter three of which debuted in the top 5 on the overall Billboard 200. Among their many accolades, the band has received five Grammy Award nominations for “Best Metal Performance” and “Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance”, as well as multiple Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards including “Best Live Band”, “Best International Band” and “Best Album”. The band’s most recent album, 2022’s “Omens” finds LAMB OF GOD as aggressive and ambitious as ever before, now as always redefining American metal with each and every move.
LAMB OF GOD is: D. Randall Blythe (vocals),Mark Morton (guitar),Willie Adler (guitar),John Campbell (bass) and Art Cruz (drums).
