Background
The Richmond, VA 5-piece, Lamb of God, came together in the current form in the fall of 1999. The band has been around in various forms and under various names, most notably Burn The Priest, since '94, however, and the brothers, Chris and Willie, have been playing music together since '88.
Lamb of God signed with Epic records in 2004 and completed their major label debut in just 5 months before embarking on their first Ozzfest tour and subsequent US and UK tours.
Lamb of God play a caustic style of extreme metal that can be compared to few others. It can best be described as a raw mixture of death and doom metal elements, but that description does not do their sound justice. Go get their CD or catch a show and hear it for yourself.

Gigantour CD/DVD Details Revealed
The second coming of Megadeth's acclaimed traveling metal festival Gigantour arrives on both DVD and CD April 22 via Image Entertainment. Conceived in 2005 by Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine, Gigantour resurrects metal's focus on stellar musicianship.
The Gigantour DVD and CD follow Image Entertainment's fall 2006 release of the debut Gigantour CD and DVD, which featured performances by Megadeth, Dream Theater, Fear Factory, Anthrax (CD only), Nevermore, Life of Agony, Symphony X, Dry Kill Logic and Bobaflex.
Gigantour 2 features over an hour of performances by iconic and influential heavy metal pioneers Megadeth, along with Lamb of God, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Overkill, The Smashup, and Into Eternity. Recorded in DTS 5.1 surround sound, the DVD version also features a behind the scenes look at the 2006 tour, while both the DVD and CD offer a hidden bonus track--Megadeth's "Peace Sells."
The release of the Gigantour 2 DVD and CD coincides with this year's Earth Day--perfect, really, since MUSTAINE has said, with a laugh, about Gigantour's mission of emphasizing true musicianship and virtuosity: " I think that in a small way, we are cleaning up the environment of crappy bands."
Meanwhile, in February Megadeth heads to Europe--where recently announced new guitarist Chris Broderick (Nevermore, Jag Panzer) will make his debut with the band alongside Mustaine, drummer Shawn Drover, and bassist James Lomenzo, before returning for this year's Gigantour.
The 29-date North American trek kicks off April 12 at The Fillmore in Denver and criss-crosses the U.S. and Canada until its May 22 finale at the Mesa Amphitheatre in Phoenix . Joining Megadeth on this year's tour are Scandinavian death metal band In Flames, Finland's Children of Bodom, Arizona's modern extreme Job for a Cowboy, and Oakland, CA heavy power trio High on Fire.

Metalunderground.com's Best of 2007 Awards
Looking back, 2007 was an interesting year in metal. The year started off great for tours - here in the US and seemingly everywhere from the news we reported all year - and continued to offer strong showings throughout the entire year. However, we lost quite a number of brothers in metal in 2007. Despite that fact and the fact that there were few truly big releases in 2007, it still seemed to be a good year for metal as a whole - a year in which the underground got to shine through just a little more than usual.
That said, let's reflect on some of the things that made 2007 such a good year for heavy metal by announcing the Metalunderground.com staff picks from 2006. As in previous years, I've polled the entire staff here at Metalunderground.com about their favorite albums and performances of last year.
Here are the Metalunderground.com staff picks for the following categories: Best Metal Album of 2007, Best Metal DVD of 2007, Best Metal Newcomer of 2007, Best Live Act of 2007, and Most Anticipated Release for 2008. More...

Lamb Of God Talks About Not Being Political
Thrashpit caught up with Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe, where he was asked about how their 2006 release 'Sacrament' seems much more personally confrontational than the group's prior records. "We had two highly political records we wrote with 'As the Palaces Burn' and 'Ashes of the Wake'," Blythe explained. "With 'Palaces' we'd been having a hard time over in the Middle East and with the Bush Administration of course. With this one, Mark and I were like 'well, we might want to step back from politics on this one.' I'm a political science major and I'm a punk rock kid, and punk rock and politics generally go hand-in-hand, so we were worried after 'Palaces' we'd get branded as a political band. After 'Palaces' we wanted to write something not as political but the climates at the time were still pissing us off enough that we again wrote it politically. We generally write about issues that anger, sadden, or depress us. Again, when 'Sacrament' came around, we wanted to move away from the political thing. We aren't a political party and we conscientiously wanted to try something a little more personal and a little more accessible. We wanted fans to be able to take a song and give it their own meaning, maybe put their own personal experiences to it. That's just how our music goes though - we just don't want to write the same album again and again!" Read more.

Lamb Of God Play In The Dark In Kansas City
A Blabbermouth.net user reported the following from the Memorial Hall in Kansas City on Friday, December 7:
"I went to see the KILLSWITCH ENGAGE/LAMB OF GOD show at Memorial Hall in Kansas City last night [Friday, December 7] and LAMB's set was kinda different. First, they reported that on their way to KC, their bus had been hit by a semi-truck. I don't think anyone was hurt, but they did mention it. Second, about a third of the way through their set, all the lights quit working. After a few minutes of playing in pitch black, they stopped and were told that the lights weren't going to come back on. Randy [Blythe, LAMB OF GOD singer] said, 'We'll play this motherfucker in the dark, I don't care,' told everyone to be careful and watch out for each other, and launched back into it. They finished the show with nothing but a few small house lights on. Pretty cool, different situation and they said it was the most memorable show of the tour, one time even saying, 'You know, back in the day, when Abe Lincoln went to metal shows, he had to do it by candlelight.' The lights were fixed between sets and KILLSWITCH was able to use them."

In a 2006 interview, Mustaine stated that last year's Gigantour a celebration of headbanging rock at its best.
"It's all about musicianship and people who are positive," said Mustaine, who started the heavy metal package tour in 2005. "We want people out there who aren't afraid to do a guitar solo, and with the guys from LAMB OF GOD, OPETH, ARCH ENEMY and the other bands, we have a great new generation of guitar players out there."
The inaugural Gigantour, which also featured DREAM THEATER and FEAR FACTORY, spawned CD and DVD releases.
The "Gigantour" CD, which came out on August 22, 2006 sold around 500 copies in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Lamb Of God Bassist Talks "Sacrement" Re-release
Virginia Baker of The News Record recently spoke to LAMB OF GOD bassist John Campbell about the upcoming re-release of the band's latest album, "Sacrament".
"Sacrament", which first hit shelves in August 2006, will be reissued on December 4 as a "deluxe package" with a very special bonus disc, just in time for the holidays.
The bonus disc holds all of the songs from the "Sacrament" album, broken down into bare tracking. With this type of configuration, the fan will be able to mix and produce his or her own version of "Sacrament".
"I haven't seen the final piece, but from what I understand, everything is separated," said Campbell. "You won't be able to change things like kick drum, but the drums are on their own, vocals are on their own, back-up vocals are on their own. You can mix them or replace them with your own."
In essence, any song from the album can be completely redone, or a completely new song can be created. One can load each song onto a computer. The user then applies his creative producing skills to create the sound of his or her choice. Take the bass line from one track, add it to the back up vocals of another, throw in your own drum line, and voilà, you are a music producer. The disc is promised to be compatible with both Mac and PC systems, therefore making it easy for all to use.
The idea of a fan-produced album was brought to Campbell during the band's last tour.
"About two to three weeks ago, it was brought to me by Chris [Alder], our drummer," Campbell said. "It could have been his idea or the idea of the record company, I'm not sure. I think some other people may have done this by releasing one track online and breaking it up like that. I thought it was a great idea."

Lamb Of God Bassist Talks Touring And More
SunJournal.com recently conducted the following interview with LAMB OF GOD bassist John Campbell:
SunJournal.com: Full name, age:
Campbell: I'm John Campbell, and I just turned 35 in September.
SunJournal.com: How did you get involved with the band?
Campbell: We met in college. I started playing bass in '90, '91, and the band started in '94.
SunJournal.com: Where you into metal when you got to school?
Campbell: I was not, and (another band member) Randy was not. But Chris, Mark and Willy definitely were. They turned me onto metal in the dorms. We lived on the same floor at Virginia Commonwealth University.
SunJournal.com: So...the music is angry and heavy. Were you angry?
Campbell: Oh no, definitely not. We were happy.
SunJournal.com: Did you envision this for yourself as a younger guy? Does anybody in college really know what they want to do?
Campbell: I didn't really know. But I knew there was a really strong artistic community over here and I knew I'd find something really cool. And I managed to pull that one off, too.
SunJournal.com: What do you do when you're not on tour?
Campbell: I've been working out in my yard, hanging with my wife and dogs.
SunJournal.com: So, what's the best part of being on the road?
Campbell: The best is being able to play. Really, the best part of the day is playing the show. The worst is being away from home and living in a metal tube with 6 to 11 other people.
SunJournal.com: Do you get along well?
Campbell: Yes, we get along well. We've known each other for a long time, but as evidenced in our DVD that just went platinum, we get to throwing punches from time to time.
SunJournal.com: Tell me! Tell me!
Campbell: Nope, it's all on the DVD. It was a fist fight, between the singer and guitar player.
SunJournal.com: So...why the angry music?
Campbell: We definitely want to be a real heavy band. Mark and Willy do most of the riff writing. Mark and Randy are the primary lyric writers. Heavy metal isn't written about puppies and children, unless they're being slaughtered and abused. (laughs).
SunJournal.com: What are the songs about?
Campbell: Two of our records were very political, and the anger was directed at the powers that were and that be. This latest record we kind of focused on more personal demons and conflicts.
SunJournal.com: Groupies?
Campbell: We have fans, and some of those fans are of that mindset, but we're all very happily married and that's not why we got into this to begin with.
SunJournal.com: You have two dogs?
Campbell: Two little cat-sized dogs. I have a mini pinscher and a Jack Russell terrier. The terrier is named Angelina, the pinscher is named Balut — it's a Filipino food and the name means "he treat with feet." And our dog was a little treat with feet.
SunJournal.com: Do you have pre-show rituals?
Campbell: We start warming up about an hour before we go on. I drink a Red Bull or two and hang out backstage, get a feel for what's going on.
SunJournal.com: How did you come up with the band name?
Campbell: BURN THE PRIEST was our name initially, but as we got more successful and got ready to sign a real record deal, internally there was some negativity toward the name... It was gimmicky, it didn't reflect how we felt about it. We figured we'd be more subtly sacrilegious and go with LAMB OF GOD.
SunJournal.com: And what about your goals for the future?
Campbell: That's hard to say. We've always been shortsighted in our goals. At first we wanted to play the party down the street, then the club, and then everything kept stepping up and up and up and up. I guess our next goal up is to write a record that tops all the records we've done at this point.
SunJournal.com: Are there any specific lyrics that mean the most to you?
Campbell: There's no specific message, but the general sentiment of the lyrics I agree with wholeheartedly. Generally, when we started as BURN THE PRIEST, it meant "f*** authority." It's kind of developed beyond those rambling thoughts, but at its core that's where I'm coming from.
LoG Drummer Says Its Time For A Nasty Metal Record
With 2007's Ozzfest behind them, Lamb of God are preparing for the last tour in the cycle for last year's Sacrament. After that, they'll head into hibernation mode and begin work on their next LP, Adler said. The band's upcoming run is a revival of sorts, of the 2003 Headbangers Ball Tour — that trek featured Shadows Fall and Killswitch Engage, the latter of whom are co-headlining the new LOG trek, which kicks off November 28 in Lowell, Massachusetts, and runs through December 17 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. DevilDriver and Soilwork will serve as main support for the tour.
"It's the exclamation [point] to the album cycle," Adler explained. "We're going to go away and hibernate for a while after this tour, so we wanted to make it something special — and get back with our friends in Killswitch, especially. On this tour, we want to dig a bit deeper on all of our records, so we're not bored with it. It's important for us to step it up a notch and give people a reason to come out and see us."
Adler said LOG plan to inject into their new set several songs from the self-titled album they released under their previous name, Burn the Priest, in 1999. After the tour, they'll spend some time away from the band, "so we can remember what our wives look like." Then, they'll get serious about writing new material: "It's time for us to put out an unpolished, nasty metal record," the guitarist said.
"Actually, in our talks of this hibernation next year, we've really, all of us, have gone back and revisited the Burn the Priest album and what it meant at the time, and what we can learn from it in going forward to the next record," he continued. "I think it's definitely something we're going to be considering in the writing process. We have some ideas floating around, but nothing cemented or named yet. One of the things we've all done is [gone] backwards in our history and pulled out [2000's] New American Gospel, and the Burn the Priest record, and we want to take the experience we have now as writers and players, and revisit those records — to get back into that headspace again but bring the experience we have now to that process. We want to get a little dirtier, because we don't want to be this homogenized metal band."
Adler said the band members are considering producing the LP themselves but may also consider assembling a team of producers — some they've worked with in the past, some they've never worked with before — to help guide them through the process.
In the meantime, LOG have two releases on the way to hold fans over until the next record, which Adler said could be ready in time for a late 2008 release. This spring, the band will release another DVD, which the guitarist said is the companion disc to the DVD that came with deluxe editions of Sacrament. It will feature tons of tour footage and include "more of the drinking aspect of the band."
Adler also said Sacrament will be reissued on November 27, but in a unique form.
"The label came to us several months ago, right before Ozzfest, and said they wanted to repackage the record with some kind of bonus track and sell it again," he said. "We didn't want to do it. Being fans of music and people who buy music, it always sucked to go buy a record and then two months later, there's another version of it with a live track that you love, and you have to spend your money again. We came back to them and said, 'No, we don't want to do it. Please don't do it. We will be very unhappy if that happens.' They brought us to the table and asked if there was any way we'd feel good about re-releasing Sacrament."
So Adler came up with a rather genius idea. "It will come with a disc of every music file, every instrument, separated, for every song on the record," he said. "The solos, the effects, everything, so that anybody can reassemble them, can cut them up, lay down their own vocals, cut out the drums, do it themselves, produce it better than we did. This is the studio experience of the record, and with any recording program, you'll be able to import these files and do whatever you want with them."

Lamb Of God Drummer Reveals 2008 Plans
LAMB OF GOD drummer Chris Adler has issued the following update:
"I've been enjoying some time at home. Ozzfest was a great time for us. Killer opportunity playing in front of some massive crowds and beat them mercilessly with our nasty noise.
"Our last show of that tour was a headline gig in Richmond. This was cool as it had been since the middle of the writing process for 'Sacrament' since we had delivered a hometown show (you can see that show in the 'Sacrament' DVD).
"We have been fortunate to tour the world several times on 'Sacrament', but it has kept us away from home for what seemed like forever and it was good to be back. A lot of our friends came out to support and it was a great homecoming.
"Took some time to adjust to sleeping in stationary bed and to get back on a normal schedule. I think I've finally adjusted — perfect timing — we leave for the UK in three days!!!
"For a while I was rehearsing on my own every day, but early this month I broke the middle toe on my right foot. Badly. The x-ray showed the bone snapped all the way across. You see, I was deep in training for a UFC fight and snapped it breaking concrete slabs.
"Not quite. I wish I had a good story, but it's actually pretty pathetic. I slammed it on the leg of the bed in the middle of the night coming back to bed from taking a leak.
"I haven't played drums in weeks. Probably the longest I have gone without playing since we started the band. Very awkward for me as I'm pretty neurotic about rehearsing. I think it's been good for me though. I really needed some chill time and the time away has made me really hungry to play.
"During the down time, I did all kinds of crap. Joe from GOJIRA came and stayed with me for a week and then the band came in for a week of rehearsals. Hung with those guys a lot as they prepared for their tour. Lots of work on my house and I also got really into the 360 game Bioshock. Other than drunken matches of Guitar hero on the bus I never play video games anymore, but with my toe elevated and on ice there was only so much I could do. Cool game.
"So, we are scheduled to leave Friday for the UK tour with HEAVEN AND HELL.
"HEAVEN AND HELL! Are you kidding me?
"We are incredibly fortunate to have this opportunity and I personally can't wait. I'm also a big fan of Jon Schaffer's [ICED EARTH] writing, playing and perseverance.
"I've been an ICED EARTH fan for years. I met him and Tim Owens years back during a taping of 'Headbanger's Ball' at MTV and I'm excited to hang and talk shop with him again as well.
"That's a funny story itself. We showed up at MTV for the taping at 8:30am. They always have the metal bands come in at ungodly hours, probably in hopes of everyone being chill and less hostile or whatever. Willie and Randy 'outsmarted' them. Instead of calling it an early night beforehand, they pulled an all-nighter. By the time we arrived, they were so in the bag they could barely speak. You could see in that episode that Willie is sitting in the back holding a 40oz. in a brown bag! Every time Jamey would announce the next video Willie would yell from the back 'F Yeah!' or 'Those dudes suck!' and we'd have to shoot the segment again! Randy kept screaming 'The Rippaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!' (referring to Tim) in his highest falsetto. It took forever, but I think the humor in it won out.
"Anyway, I gotta go get ready to rock. I hope rehearsal goes well — I'm sure you'll hear about it somehow if it doesn't. I'll keep up here and there from the tour and let you know more about the December US tour as it approaches. I know it will be our last for a long time.
"We plan on taking the entirety of 2008 to reconnect, get hungry and write. Plans never seem to be set in stone with a band, but the idea would be to bunker down with no shows for the year. The next album must be more intense than anything we've done and we don't want any distractions.
"There's something amazing on its way to punctuate the end of the 'Sacrament' cycle. You will hear about it in the next few days, it's been in the works for a while and it's no less than revolutionary. It's crazy actually — you'll see and be the judge soon enough. We are all very excited about this surprise."

Soilwork Comment On KSE, Lamb Of God Tour
Swedish metallers SOILWORK have commented on being part of the upcoming LAMB OF GOD, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE co-headlining US Tour that commences in late November.
Says singer Björn Strid: "We are thrilled to be on this tour which we think is the best tour package to hit the states for a very long time. We've toured with the boys in Killswitch Engage a couple of times before and we both sure do know how to share a bottle(s) of Jack. We always had a blast! We haven't toured with Lamb Of God or DEVILDRIVER before but we've occasionally run into each other and all we can say is that we definitely dig their music and are really looking forward to get to know those guys better. Prepare to soil your pants people!”

Almost four years after their first run together on MTV2’s Headbangers Ball Tour, the two powerhouses have reunited to bring holiday mayhem throughout the US. The tour will begin on November 28th in Lowell, Massachusetts and end on December 17th in Albuquerque, New Mexico with LAMB OF GOD and Killswitch Engage alternating headlining slots each night. Directly supporting these metal juggernauts will be DevilDriver, with Swedish metallers Soilwork kicking off the show each evening.
LAMB OF GOD will be wrapping up the Sacrament album cycle with this tour. After 18 months of touring with Slayer, Megadeth, Ozzfest, Heaven and Hell, and headlining runs in the US, Japan, Australia, UK and Europe, LAMB OF GOD will take 2008 off to prepare for a new CD. Fans will get a new dose of LAMB OF GOD in 2008 with a full length DVD, set for release in the spring. The DVD will document the entire Sacrament experience, beginning with rehearsals for the albums recording straight through this headline run.
“Yes the rumors are true, Killswitch and LAMB OF GOD are back together again” Killswitch vocalist Howard Jones affirms. “We had our honeymoon four years ago and now it’s time to renew our metal vows. This is your official invitation - the only one you will ever need.”
Chris Adler from LAMB OF GOD adds "Touring the Sacrament album has been some of the most exciting times we have ever experienced. It has taken us around the world several times over, playing the biggest shows of our career with some of the best bands in the business and in front of the greatest fans in the world. We are tighter, stronger and smarter than we have ever been and before we put the machine that is LAMB OF GOD to bed for a little while and call an end to the touring cycle, we want to bring it to the next level. So together with our true friends in Killswitch, DevilDriver and Soilwork we plan to bring you something that won't be forgotten. Thanks to everyone who has supported us and we are looking forward to one more brutal evening with all of you!!!"
