In 1995, five guys from Virginia with a love of heavy metal began
jamming together. They played in basements and dingy clubs, recorded
demos, worked hard, built a rabid underground fan base, and eventually
called themselves Lamb of God.
Now, more than fifteen years later, Lamb of God has achieved the kind
of success that kids with garage bands dream about - they have sold
over two million albums, made two platinum-selling DVDs, been nominated
for four Grammy Awards, and have continued growing their cult of heavy
metal loyalists into a worldwide community.

AS THE PALACES BURN is a feature-length documentary
that originally sought to follow the band and their fans throughout the
world, to demonstrate how music ties us together when we can’t find any
other common bond. However, during the filming process in 2012, the
story abruptly took a dramatic turn, bringing the band into a Kafkaesque
nightmare, when lead singer Randy Blythe was arrested on charges of
manslaughter, blamed for the death of one of their young fans in the
Czech Republic. What followed was a heart-wrenching courtroom drama that
left fans, friends, and curious onlookers around the world on the edge
of their seats.
Filming took place in Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, India, Israel, and the United States.
The film will include a new/pre-recorded Q&A with the band
members that will be available exclusively to audiences attending the
theatrical screenings.
Running Time: approximately 120 minutes
