Burn The Priest (1999) [V0]

A little About the band:
The roots of Burn the Priest were planted in 1990 when Mark Morton, Chris Adler and John Campbell met at Virginia Commonwealth University. The trio began playing at Adler's house in Richmond weathering chilly conditions.

"There was no heat at the house," recalls Campbell. "We would freeze our asses off, get really drunk and hang around the kerosene heaters trying to write metal songs. Kerosene fumes and Black Label beer were definitely what fueled our early days."

After graduation, Morton moved to Chicago to pursue a master's degree, but the band continued. A new guitarist, Abe Spear, replaced Morton as the band retired its instrumental sound and added Randy Blythe on vocals.

The band was playing around Virginia when Morton moved back from Chicago and re-joined the group. In 1997, Burn the Priest released 2 split seven-inches with ZED and Agents of Satan.The next year,........

Album Review:
Written by DaddyZeus67 on May 17th, 2008

So, here's the first full-length album the post-thrash metal band Lamb Of God produced under their first moniker, Burn The Priest. Is it good work? Absolutely. Way better than the follow up album produced under Lamb Of God moniker, New American Gospel.

The vocals on this album are similar to Gospel, Randy's screaming sounds like a choking wolf and the lyrics are often hard to follow with. There's also some very low grunts and high shrieks. And then of course, Steve Austin is doing some vocals in certain songs, such as "Resurrection #9" to offer some variety, just like in the Gospel album. But there's guest vocals in the song "Suffering Bastard" as well, performed by Michael Brosnan. Although Michael's backing vocals aren't that easy to notice unless you listen carefully.

Guitar sound on this album is good. I like the way they manage to keep up the groove while playing lots of heaviness as well. The grooves are well planned and sound good each time. Many of these riffs are actually enjoyable and you can easily mosh to them. There's also a pretty nice solo kinda in the intro of "Dimera" and proper soloing in the final track, "Ruiner" which regardless of its title does NOT ruin this album, haha!....
