Lamb Of God
Discography-VBR [V0]
A little About the band:
The roots of Lamb of God were planted in 1990 when Chris Adler, Mark Morton and John Campbell were floor mates at a Virginia Commonwealth University dormitory. Four years later (1994) the trio met up at Chris's rental house in Church Hill, Richmond to make some noise. ''There was no heat at the house,'' recalls Campbell. ''Kerosene fumes and Black Label beer were definitely what fueled our early days.''
''I couldn't afford to heat the house. We could see each other's breath when we played'' recalls Adler. ''It was rough, but in retrospect this was the perfect setting to prove our dedication to the aggressive music we wrote.'' After graduation, Morton moved to Chicago to pursue a master's degree, but the band continued. A new guitarist, Abe Spear, quickly replaced Morton. Soon after the band retired its instrumental sound and added Randy 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,'' says Campbell. ''Many of the bands in Richmond can flat outplay you and if you don't practice, they will blow you off the stage. They inspired us to raise the bar musically and taught us the work ethic we needed to be a success.''
