A Richmond metal band that started as Burn the Priest and built a sound on thrash and hardcore.
For their sound, check out 'Ghost Walking' or '512'. They're still putting out records like 'Omens'.
They've been at it since 1994, putting out nine studio albums that pull from thrash metal and hardcore. Songs like 'Ghost Walking' show their mix of aggression and groove, with Randy Blythe's vocals shifting between growls and cleaner passages. Their 2012 manslaughter trial in the Czech Republic became part of their story, though Blythe was acquitted.
They started in Richmond, Virginia in 1994, originally calling themselves Burn the Priest. The lineup that defined their sound came together with Randy Blythe, Mark Morton, Willie Adler, John Campbell, and Chris Adler. They've put out albums from 'Ashes of the Wake' in 2004 to a self-titled record in 2020, with drummer Art Cruz joining later.
