Lamb of God (sometimes abbreviated as LoG)[1][2] is an American heavy metal band

from Richmond, Virginia. Formed in 1994 as Burn the Priest, the group consists of bassist John
Campbell, vocalist Randy Blythe, guitarists Mark Morton and Willie Adler, and drummer Art Cruz.
The band is considered a significant member of the New Wave of American Heavy
Metal movement.[3][4][5]
Since their formation, Lamb of God has released nine studio albums (two of them were released
under Burn the Priest), one live album, one compilation album and three DVDs. The band's
cumulative sales equal almost two million in the United States, including one album certified Gold by
the RIAA. In 2010 and 2011 the band received Grammy nominations for songs from their 2009
album Wrath. They also received a nomination in 2016 for their song "512". Lamb of God has toured
with the Ozzfest twice. Other appearances include Download Festival and Sonisphere Festival in the
UK, Soundwave Festival, Mayhem Festival 2010 and Gigantour. From 2008 to 2010 they toured as
part of Metallica's World Magnetic Tour, and supported Slayer on their final world tour in 2018 and
2019.
