I'd first read about @lambofgod in a 2002 Guitar World article covering the top #undergroundheavymetal bands of that time. LOG released their first album, New American Gospel two years earlier. A year later WSOU began playing the tracks "Ruin" and #11th Hour" off the regular. They were of this upcoming, new release from LOG called As The Palaces Burn on @prostheticrecords...and both tracks kicked serious ass. I BOUGHT ATPB on the week of its release at Sam Goody on a Friday night before being abducted by some younger kids who felt bad(?) that I was sitting by myself at Johnny Rockets. I can't make that up. What took me by surprise more than ANYTHING else was seeing that, while there weren't too many guitar solos on the record (that'd change over time!), the track "Purified" featured a badass guitar solo by ex-Megadeth guitarist @chrispoland_official. CHRIS FUCKING POLAND!!!!!! Turns out the band are Megadeth disciples all the way down to their sometimes political lyrics What was more? The album was also produced by @dvntownsend, then of Strapping Young Lad. He to me was the Todd Rundgren of #extrememetal, so you knew he wasn't producing anything short of true QUALITY metal. As fate would have it, ATPB would sell 100,000 copies, much like @shadowsfallband did with The Art Of Balance, in a time where albums sales were dying, and earned themselves their first major label deal a yearly later. Recommend tracks: Ruin, 11th Hour, Purified, Boot Scraper, A Devil In God's Country. #confessionsofanangrymetalhead #metalhead #lambofgod #asthepalacesburn #2003 #randyblythe #chrisadler #willieadler #markmorton #johncampbell #thenewwaveofamericanheavymetal #heavymetal #chrispoland #devintownsend #ruin #11thhour #purified #foryourmalice #bootscraper #adevilingodscountry #indefenseofourgoodname #bloodjunkie #vigil #prostheticrecords #ihateyou #yourmothersucksdicksinhell https://www.instagram.com/p/CdLvNsGLZXD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
