The roots of Lamb of God were planted in 1990 when
Mark Morton, Chris Adler and John Campbell were floor
mates at Virginia Commonwealth University. The trio
began playing at Adlers house in Richmond weathering
chilly conditions. There was no heat at the house,
recalls Campbell. We would freeze our asses off, get
really drunk and hang around the kerosene heaters
trying to write metal songs. Kerosene fumes and Black
Label beer were definitely what fueled our early
days.
After graduation, Morton moved to Chicago to pursue a
masters degree, but the band continued. A new
guitarist, Abe Spear, replaced Morton as the band
retired its instrumental sound and added Blythe on
vocals.
The quartet, known then as Burn the Priest, became a
fixture in the tightly-knit Richmond music scene. To
compete with the high-level of musicianship displayed
by their contemporaries, the band adopted a rigid
practice schedule. To this day, we practice five days
a week out of necessity, says Campbell. The bands in
Richmond can flat outplay you and if you dont
practice, they will blow you off the stage. Bands like
Breadwinner and Slanglouse - two local math-metal
bands - could play insanely complicated music note
perfect. They inspired us to raise the bar musically
and taught us the work ethic we needed to be a
success.
The band was playing around Virginia when Morton moved
back from Chicago and re-joined the group. Soon after,
Burn the Priest released a self titled full length
album on Legion Records. Abe left soon after, which
opened a spot for guitarist, and brother to Chris -
Willie Adler.
A year after the second Adler joined, Burn the Priest
changed its name to Lamb of God and signed a record
deal with Prosthetic Records. The bands
independent-debut, New American Gospel, was released
in 2000. This album was all about creating a rhythmic
and pummeling musical landscape with riff after riff,
explains Morton.
Two years of extensive touring to support the album
raised Lamb of Gods profile before the band released
the critically acclaimed, As The Palaces Burn (2003).
ATPB won record of the year honors in such notable
Magazines as Revolver and Metal Hammer while garnering
mainstream press in Rolling Stone and Entertainment
Weekly.
The band hit the road again and began headlining tours
before signing with Epic Records. In the fall of 2003
Lamb of God was a co-headliner on the first ever MTVs
Headbangers Ball Tour which elevated Lamb of Gods
profile beyond the underground. As it entered the
studio to record Ashes of the Wake, the band released
Terror and Hubris, a DVD featuring live performances,
videos for Ruin and Black Label and
behind-the-scenes footage highlighting the work ethic,
humility and sense of humor of one of the most
respected and influential bands around today. The DVD
proved to be a commercial success as it entered the
Billboard Music DVD Charts at #32.
After writing and recording three independent releases
at a deliberate pace, Lamb of God was shocked to
finish its major-label debut, Ashes of the Wake, in
just five months. The Virginia-based progressive metal
quintet agrees this is its most natural sounding
album.
During the 10 years weve been playing together, this
band has never stopped pushing the boundaries of what
a metal band is supposed to sound like, says drummer
Chris Adler. With this record we allowed our
instincts and experience to shape each song as a piece
of the larger picture. We let the songs dictate their
own direction instead of pushing individual agendas.
Lamb of God was not only a headlining act on the
Second Stage at Ozzfest 2004 this summer but their
first single, Laid to Rest, from Ashes of the Wake
also appears - in demo form - on the Ozzfest 2004
Sampler. The songwriting process for Laid to Rest,
illustrates Lamb of Gods accelerated creative process
for their new CD Ashes of the Wake. This song came
together so quickly it gave us chills, recalls Chris
Adler. Let me put it this way, it can take up to a
year for the entire band to agree that a song is
finished, but it only took two days for everyone to
put their stamp of approval on Laid to Rest. We
couldnt believe it then, or now.
Lamb of God does not create the typical heavy metal
verse/chorus/verse/chorus/solo/outro type of music.
The songs are diverse, progressive and intelligent.
Songs like the instrumental Ashes of the Wake show
how wide a net of influence and ability Lamb of God
are able to cast. Keeping a musicians band aura and
credibility and headlining countless sold out shows
are two things that dont often run together. Lamb of
God is an anomaly to the system.
We play music that straddles the line between prog
and traditional rock, explains Campbell. I think we
make prog-rock more listenable without cheapening the
progressiveness of it. The complexity of our music
appeals to people who like technical playing, but the
arrangements are not so extreme that they fly over the
average listeners head. Its a good balance.
The political angst that fueled the lyrics on As The
Palaces Burn continues unabated on Ashes of the Wake.
However, Blythe admits that his plans to write songs
about personal responsibility quickly changed. Mark
and I write most of the lyrics together, and at the
start of this album we agreed that we wanted to
concentrate on internal instead of external politics,
he explains. But as we got into it, considering the
condition of the world today, we felt obligated as
responsible artists to give accurate social
commentary, and that meant writing a few indictments
against the powers that be.
Mixing a call to arms with a sneering disdain for the
White Houses current occupant balances Ashes of the
Wake. In the end, I think the album is stronger
because we show the relation between internal and
external politics instead of just focusing on one or
the other, Blythe says. These songs are a reality
check for everyone because they rail against a
wrong-headed government and against the apathetic
people that ignore the government and allow it to
exist.
Ashes of the Wake captures Lamb of God taking comfort
in musical risks. Well always be a thrash metal
band, explains Morton, but Im interested in
exploring what we can get away with within the
boundaries of the genre.
