Lamb Of God!

Burn the Priest/ Lamb of God is a Thrash/Speed/Death Metal band. In 1990, Mark Morton, Chris Adler and John Campbell started the band Burn the Priest. The band members knew each other from University, in Richmond, Virginia that they each attended. Mark left the band soon after to pursue a master's degree in Chicago. Chris and John replaced Mark with Abe Spear. For the next five years, the band practiced in Chris's house. In 1995, the band released its self-titled first demo. After the demo, Burn the Priest recorded two split albums "with Agents of Satan" and "ZED respectively". After the band's first three demos, Burn the Priest added vocalist Randy Blythe to the band.

In 1997, Mark returned to the band. That following year, the band released its first full-length self-titled album, "Burn the Priest", through Legion Records. Then Abe Spear left the band, leaving an open position for a guitarist. Chris's brother, Willie Adler, became the band's second guitarist a year later, and a deal with Prosthetic Records was signed. After being banned from playing in certain places (some people believed the band possessed an "evil" name), Burn the Priest changed their name to Lamb of God.
