BURN THE PRIEST ST (1999-2005) CD

Before they were Lamb of God.

Burn the Priest was the only album released under the band's original name before they became Lamb of God. Released on Legion Records in 1999 and produced by Steve Austin of Today Is the Day, it's a raw, ugly mix of groove, death and thrash metal with hardcore in its blood, and the only album to feature guitarist Abe Spear. This 2005 reissue was remixed and remastered, splits Duane and Ruiner into separate tracks, and adds a live Bloodletting video. Listening now, you can hear the seeds of everything Lamb of God would become on New American Gospel and As the Palaces Burn, just wilder and rougher around the edges.
