Lamb Of God to film tour documentary
Richmond, Virginia metallers Lamb Of God are planning on filming their upcoming shows for a tour documentary, presumably to be included with the band's next DVD release."We are out on tour until October, and we will go to crazy places," Lamb Of God drummer Chris Adler told Aol's Noisecreep. "Since we started touring for this cycle in December 2008, we've basically gone around the world twice, and in this next year we will again - to China, Russia, South America. We've done DVDs in the past, with concerts and behind the scenes. This time, we will bring a film crew on these runs with us, since we will be in such bizarre places like Singapore, where they don't even sell our records, but 10,000 kids will still show up. We want to document this music and how what we do crosses the language and commerce barriers. Hopefully, we will find some trouble along, and if someone gets in jail, it won't be too much trouble to get him out. It'll probably be Randy [Blythe, vocals]!"
Having recently wrapped up U.S. their tour with Metallica, Lamb Of God are celebrating their latest accomplishment, a Grammy Award nomination in the "Best Metal Performance" category for the track "Set to Fail" from their latest album, "Wrath", which came out last year on Epic Records.
Lamb Of God was previously nominated in the "Best Metal Performance" category for the song "Redneck" from the band's 2006 album "Sacrament".
As was the case in 2006, the Lamb guys are up against some serious competition from metal forefathers and legends, including Slayer, Judas Priest, Megadeth and Ministry.
"Wrath" landed at position No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart back in February 2009 with first-week sales of over 67,000 copies.
