Metal Anarchy

During an interview with Gear4Music, Lamb Of God’s Mark Morton revealed which of the band’s albums he likes the best. The guitarist ultimately picked “As The Palaces Burn” as his favorite.

Morton explained his choice:

“…I just think there’s something really unique about that record. It’s really the sound of the band just kind of getting its legs up under ourselves as songwriters, just barely. And it’s naive and abstract at the same time, and the way it sounds, it doesn’t particularly sound very good, but it sounds on fire. It sounds sonically like… Someone told me very recently that, a good friend of mine said, ‘That record sounds like the colors that are on the cover.’ And I was, like, ‘Yeah, it’s like really burning bright red and yellow.’

And these are all very abstract reasons to pick this thing, but that’s why. I just think it’s just a very early representation of the elements of what Lamb Of God would eventually develop and refine. You can really listen top to bottom on that, and every song kind of has its own character, and it’s an interesting — kind of simple, the instrumentation and the production [are] very simple, but real cool, man.”
