As the Palaces burn is just an example of a standard Title Track.


* AlbumTitleDrop: A strange case. Ashes of the Wake - the album - has its title track, however the song is mainly an instrumental with some talking bits. No use of the words 'ashes of the wake.' "Hourglass," on the same album, does have the lyrics 'ashes of the wake,' however.
** ''As the Palaces Burn'' actually plays this straight; the second song on the album shares the same name and contains the line, "We dance ''as the palaces burn.''"

** The new album ''VII: Sturm und Drang'' might take this a step further with more grisly lyrics inspired by Randy's 2012 imprisonment in the Czech Republic.

* MetalScream: The general vocal style is a mid-pitched type 3, though it's not so much a scream as... well, who the fuck knows. A growl? A shout? What the fuck is it? The fact that Randy can actually put some musical pitch into it doesn't help the discussion. With that said, he does occasionally use actual screams alongside the growl/shout/whatever, and his brief stint as a live fill-in for Cannabis Corpse demonstrated that he's also capable of full-fledged type 2s. Type 1 also appear from time to time.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Solid to hard 8 most of the time, with a few of their heavier songs going up to a 9 - especially on ''Ashes of the Wake''. ''Burn the Priest'' and ''New American Gospel'' are mostly a 10 with a few soft 11 moments.

In January 2014, Randy Blythe announced that he would be taking a break from music, and that there would be no new material from the band for quite some time. Drummer Chris Adler later confirmed this in an interview, stating that legal fees incurred from Randy's trial made a serious dent in the band's finances and they were taking an extended break. The break seems to be over as of April 2015, as the band has been posting pictures of their studio gear and talking about an eighth album on Instagram (which was released in July of 2015).

As of July 2019, Chris Adler is officially out of the band; Art Cruz (Prong, Winds of Plague) has officially joined as their new drummer and will be tracking their upcoming full-length.

* DarkerAndEdgier: While past albums had songs that dealt with war, religion and loss of family, among other mature topics, ''Resolution'' is seen as their darkest album as not only is the lyrics more depressing and frightning, but the tone and style of the album is considered by some to be on par with Music/{{Pantera}}'s "The Great Southern Trendkill", a just as grim and dark album.

And for the truly [[strike: devoted]] insane, there's a US$1000 set with the vinyl albums, USB drives, 3-CD set, the art book, an autographed 8x10 picture, an "Hourglass" sticker, a 4-foot by 6-foot cloth flag...and a Jackson Signature Series Mark Morton guitar.

* NotChristianRock: While the band's name would lead an unsuspecting listener to believe they're Christian, they most certainly aren't and several of their songs are actually very critical of religion.

** "Laid to Rest" was a TakeThatMe to Mark Morton (who wrote it) about his personal struggles at the time, with the message appearing to be something along the lines of "go ahead and ruin your own life, dude, you have no one to blame but your own damn self for this and you can either fix your situation or continue your downward spiral for no good reason".

Art Cruz is their new drummer.


The band's current membership consists of vocalist Randy Blythe, guitarists Mark Morton and Willie Adler, drummer Chris Adler, and bassist John Campbell. They formed in 1990 as an instrumental band named Burn the Priest, later adding vocalist Blythe. Their debut album was the self-titled ''Burn the Priest'' in 1998, which is now not technically self-titled because... yeah. Shortly afterwards, they changed their name to "Lamb of God" because the band thought the name "Burn the Priest" would lead their fans to do wrong things.
