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





Rated R for (Adult Language)


Directed by Don Argott
