Lamb of God is a groove metal band formed in 1994 in Richmond Virginia. The band was originally called "Burn The Priest" but changed its name after releasing one album (titled "Burn The Priest). In 2000, Lamb of God released its second album, and first under its new name: "New American Gospel." Its third album "As the Palaces Burn" (2003) became the first to land on the Billboard 200. Subsequent albums performed progressively better: "Ashes of the Wake" (2004) was a top 40 hit, "Sacrament" (2006) peaked in the top 10, and "Wrath" remains the band's highest charting album, reaching the top spot in Canada and the second highest spot in the US. "Resolution" (2012) and "VII: Sturm Und Drang" (2015) peaked at number three. In 2018, Lamb of God reassumed the name "Burn the Priest and released "Legion: XX." After returning back to "Lamb of God," the band released "Lamb of God" (2020) and "Omens" (2022).
