I hadn't heard much lamb of god before this, only a few tracks, but i did have a good idea of what to expect. The guitars are heavy, the vocals are low and brutal and drums are technical and sit well with the guitars and bass. There are moments of speed that will have you headbanging around your room, and there are moments of slow plodding heaviness. The only trouble with this album is there are no really distintive songs on it, as an album it's brilliant, but as far as individual songs go there arn't any classic tracks on there.
I would recommend this album to anyone who likes brutal metal and is looking for somthing a little different.

I've got to say first and foremost that, at this moment, Lamb of God are one of my personal favourites. I just love their brutal brand of near-metalcore that combines an extremely aggressive and unique sound with a quite-out-of-place catchiness. You just have to listen to the first four tracks of ATPB to see what they bring to the table - it's fast, it's furious, and it's f***ing awesome.
I'm so enthused after seeing this band at Download 2005. I already loved their stuff (ATPB is far superior to the more polished Ashes of the Wake, in my opinion) and kinda expected that they wouldn't be able to live up to my high expectations. How wrong I was. They're absolutely awesome, both live and on record. The singer is an absolute monster and the music is just plain brutal (yet accessible).
I can't recommend this album highly enough, but I should point out that it probably won't be for everyone. But if you like, say, bands akin to "alive or just breathing" Killswitch and even The Haunted, then you might like LoG. Otherwise, maybe not.

As The Palaces Burn is Lamb of God's second full length studio album. The album is hugely important to the Lamb of God story, spawning crowd favorites `Ruin,' `Vigil,' and the title track. From start to finish there are no weak tracks and every Lamb of God member puts in a top notch performance.
This is the album were the Lamb of God sound is properly established, where the lyrical style is properly established and where Randy's Vocals sound right for the first time on this release, with his trademark half Death Growl half metalcore bark making up the majority of the vocal contributions to this album. With Devon Townsend in the Engineer's and Producer's chairs The Lamb of God sound was finally captured on an album. The production is a huge step up from their debut but is still a little raw and noisy by modern standards.
The album contains a lot of excellent songs with `11th Hour,' `Purified,' and `In Defense of Our Good Name,' standing out in particular. Guest guitar contributions from Chris Poland on `Purified,' are welcome and don't feel out of place whatsoever.
The only downside with the album is that the material is very difficult to become familiar with, and while you will enjoy and be impressed by the technical and heavy music its not the kind of thing you'll have stuck in your head after your first listen.
If you like Lamb of God then you simply have to get As The Palaces Burn, it's a Grower but be persistent, its worth it.

Brutal? Strangely accessible if you ask me.

Still "inside the box", melodically
There is a danger IMHO that they are subsituting pace for creativity. There aren't just enough vicious (dissonant) riffs for me. Read more
