Lamb Of God Partners With Specticast For Worldwide Distribution Of “As The Palaces Burn” Feature Film.
Lamb Of God are pleased to announce that they have entered in to a worldwide distribution deal with Specticast (Led Zeppelin Celebration Day, Paul McCartney Rock Show) for their Don Argott (Last Days Here, Art of the Steal, School of Rock) directed feature film “As The Palaces Burn”. Filming for the feature began in 2012 and concluded in March of 2013.
“As The Palaces Burn”, not to be confused with the making-of documentary packaged with the recent re-release of the 2003 LAMB OF GOD album of the same name, was conceived to be a documentary focused on the power of music and its impact on cultures around the world and its ability to bring together people of all nationalities regardless of religious or political differences. After a worldwide casting call, filming took place in Colombia, Venezuela, Israel, India, and the United States. As filming reached its conclusion, the documentary was forced to take a major turn when the band’s lead singer, Randy Blythe, was arrested in the Czech Republic and charged with the murder of a fan in June 2012. Granted unique access to Blythe’s continuing saga, Argott’s filming covered Blythe’s 38 day imprisonment in Prague, his release and the band’s return to live performances, and finally Blythe’s trial for murder in Prague in February 2013.
“As The Palaces Burn” will debut worldwide on February 27th. Following the film, a 30 minute Q&A with the entire band and director Don Argott will be shown. The Q&A was conducted by VH1 Classics Eddie Trunk and filmed at the final show of the band’s North American tour in support of their most recent release, Resolution.

Lamb Of God Announce ‘As The Palaces Burn’ 10th Anniversary Remastered CD And DVD
Ten years ago, Lamb Of God released their debut album ‘As The Palaces Burn’. To celebrate this momentous occasion, they have gone back and remastered the entire album with Josh Wilbur (producer on Wrath/Resolution). They’re also reissuing several of the As The Palaces Burn t-shirts as deluxe versions of the set.
The remastered CD includes a new bonus dvd documentary, 3 previously unreleased tracks and new album liner notes.
Chris Adler stated; ”We are lucky to have the opportunity, a decade after our first attempt, to bring what I consider to be our master work up to speed sonically. Ever since the original release we’ve been distraught about the sonic qualities of ‘As the Palaces Burn’. The band had captured lightening in a bottle and the budget limitation of a sophomore album turned our lightening into a firefly in a jar. The songs are undeniable and we’ve always been very proud of how this album launched our career. It feels appropriate to revisit now that we can and give this very special album the chance to reach our original hopes and it’s true potential.”

The Design Process Behind Lamb Of God’s ‘As The Palaces Burn’ Album Art.
Some albums have artwork that is just as memorable as the songs themselves, but unlike the songs, the stories behind the art are almost never told.
Lamb Of God’s long time art director K3n Adams created the album artwork for the 2003 release ‘As The Palaces Burn’ from junk, “Actually, a lot of the same junk I used for New American Gospel” he says. The concept for the cover was Technology Worship, and it was designed to look as if technology had become a deity, organic matter fusing with circuitry to become one organism.
K3n’s take on the ‘Shroud Of Turin’ was added as an overlay. The shroud was made up of various wiring diagrams, weaving the theme of technology as a god over the piece and creating a ‘skin’. In the initial run of 70,000 copies, the shroud was printed onto a separate clear Mylar insert. During the printing process static would build up in large amounts and shock the printing press workers, despite various efforts to prevent it.
