Lamb of God understands violence, and they understand metal. Brutal riffs imitate singer Randy Blythe's bleak lyrics, creating a sound intended as an anthem for the disenfranchised. Lamb of God just doesn't do happy. Musical themes range from war and politics to personal failures and crises of faith. In fact, before settling on Lamb of God, the band called themselves Burn the Priest, further hinting at their anti-religious views. Along with fellow young metal bands like Killswitch Engage and Shadows Fall, Lamb of God are considered by fans and critics to be one of the driving forces behind America's current metal resurgence, and the band back up their sound with classic long hair and hardcore camouflaged guitars. Technically, the members of Lamb of God have actually been playing together since 1990, even though they didn't really make waves until about ten years later. Ace guitarist Mark Morton put together a variation of Lamb of God while attending classes at Virginia Commonwealth University. The band toured and even recorded a full-length independent album under the name Burn the Priest, but they ultimately changed it to Lamb of God when they found themselves banned from certain venues that perceived them as anti-Christian. In 2002, Lamb of God released their instant classic, the brutally heavy Ashes at the Wake. Surprising the band and music industry analysts, the album debuted at no.27 on Billboard, even though it received little mainstream promotion. On the strength of their force-of-nature live shows, Lamb of God had succeeded in building up a high level of anticipation for their major label debut. Even old-time fans agreed that, unlike with many other independent metal bands getting a shot at the majors, Lamb of God actually benefited from the big budget and superior production quality, which allow Blythe's powerful voice and Morton's solos on songs like "Laid to Rest" and "Now You've Got Something To Die For" to come across crystal clear.
