Lamb of God in Sydney

Lamb of God is an American metal band formed in Richmond, Virginia, in 1994 under the name Burn the Priest. After adopting their present name, they became known for groove metal built on sharply syncopated riffs and Randy Blythe’s harsh vocals. Albums including Ashes of the Wake, Sacrament and Wrath produced staples such as “Laid to Rest,” “Redneck” and “Walk with Me in Hell.” A 2004 concert at Philadelphia’s Trocadero Theatre was filmed for the live release Killadelphia, and the band also performed on Ozzfest that year. Lamb of God joined Megadeth’s Gigantour in 2006, then played arenas and amphitheatres during Slayer’s farewell tour in 2018 and 2019. They returned to those rooms for The Metal Tour of the Year, co-headlining with Megadeth in 2021 and 2022.
