Make no mistake about it, Grammy nominated, LAMB OF GOD are the reigning supreme rulers of American Heavy Metal. Now, LAMB OF GOD announce “Killadelphia” DVD goes Platinum!!!
The band celebrate receiving the platinum award for “Killadelphia” DVD while they currently deliver their unruly brand of Heavy Metal as direct support to Ozzy on the mainstage at Ozzfest.
“If you thought Metallica’s Some Kind Of Monster was candid, wait until you get your metal-loving mitts on Killadelphia.”-Long Island Press.
LAMB OF GOD’s “Killadelphia” highlights every facet of the bands unforgiving live performance recorded from two unforgettable Sold-Out concerts at Philadelphia’s legendary Trocadero. This blistering live documentation features lead singer Randy Blythe’s storming vocals, the buzzsaw guitar slaughter of both Willie Adler and Mark Morton along with the powerhouse rhythm section of Chris Adler (drums) with John Campbell (bass). “Killadelphia” boasts live versions of: Laid To Rest, Hourglass, As The Palaces Burn, Now You’ve Got Something To Die For, 11th Hour, Terror & Hubris, Ruin, Omerta, Pariah, The Faded Line, Bloodletting, The Subtle Art Of Murder & Persuasion, Vigil, What I’ve Become, and the utterly classic Black Label; which inspires crowds worldwide to part seas for the infamous ‘wall of death’.
Drummer, Chris Adler states “In today's age of gimmicks, lies and faux reality trying to make celebrities out of everyone with a few dollars, it was important for us to not stage or hype up a damn thing - to simply show LAMB OF GOD on the road; the good times, the bad times and one hell of a show- and for that stripped down, no-holds-barred approach to be received this well certainly flatters us, but also continues to make a dent in the industry full of fakes and talentless image. It's nice to know that we didn't have to be anything other than ourselves to achieve such success with this DVD, but the real praise should go to our friends and fans who picked up Killadelphia and in doing so have sent a message to the powers that be that we are sick of the over hyped, fake "real world" being shoved down our throats - we are all ready for the honest, genuine bands and music to take center stage once again.
As a band we are extremely humbled by this achievement - it's rare that a band like ourselves receives this honor. Again, we pass along the thanks and praise to those of you who picked up Killadelphia. This is an accomplishment that we share with all of you. Thank you, congratulations and cheers! See you all soon - Stay Metal 'till then!”
“A must-own for any metal fan, this DVD features the blistering highlights of two fall 2004 performances at Philadelphia’s Trocadero, as well as farts and all.” –Revolver Magazine
“Killadelphia gives Lamb Of God fans an exclusive look of the band’s uncut behind the scenes reality.” -Outburn
“Morton and Willie Adler crank out a succession of irate riffs, which have grown more intricate with every album. Drummer Chris Adler (Willie’s older brother) and ursine bassist John Campbell stomp and pirouette around restless rhythms with heroic skill and vigor. Yet Blythe’s loose cannon rage balances their prodigious playing with the sort of rock ‘n’ roll danger the likes of Slipknot or Mudvayne can’t summon, even with spooky outfits or extra percussionists.” -More Sugar
“In the world of extreme metal, Lamb Of God is seen as something of a savior. Summarily crushed any fears in metaldom the “the big time” would compromise the band’s mutilating rhythms, surgical guitars and combative vocals.”-Dallas Morning News
“Lamb Of God exudes metal – long hair, a gregarious nature, and insane solos – and puts on a superb live show in detail. One of the best parts of the bands performance is the extravagance that is Chris Adler’s drumming.”-New Times, AZ
“If the extra scrutiny affected the band, you couldn’t tell by watching them play. The Killadelphia DVD was filmed at Philadelphia’s Trocadero in October while the jury was still out. Which is to say, they ripped the shit out of each song with mind-boggling grace. Guitarists Willie Adler and Mark Morton are two of the most articulate shredders in music today.”-Decibel
“Few Music DVD’s are this engrossing. The musicians are skilled metal players, and this sets up contention with singer/screamer Randy Blythe, who, at one point, doesn’t want the band to play cd versions of the songs during live shows. “I’m at the top of my game, though” one guitarist says to him, later telling him he won’t change his performance. This argument leads to a violent fistfight three days later in Glasgow, where Blythe is sucker punched from the side. Metal fan or not, Killadelphia is a devastating look into the darker side of music.”-West Valley View, AZ
“Live aspects of the production are fantastic. On this DVD Lamb Of God comes off like a juggernaut.”-Wonkavision
“Killadelphia is a bare bones documentary of the life on the road with one of the death metal stalwart’s Lamb Of God in support of the recent release Ashes Of The Wake. With the bands performances intertwined with all the hustle, bustle, and drunken jostles, the DVD will be an enjoyment for fans who have come to love the explosive live shows around the country and abroad the Lamb Of God have done since their incarnation. It’s quite a trip to watch, the band at its zenith. There are no glamorous reality-TV bullshit schemes to this DVD. It’s a stone-cold look at a band on the road without any trimmings, which makes it intriguing to anyone who’s a fan of the bands work.”-Rag Magazine, Florida
“The long-awaited DVD is here, featuring the band in all their live glory.” -Westwood One, National Syndicate
“Killadelphia is as unforgiving as their music.” -Daily News, PA
“Few bands give the fans a true perspective of life on the road, or the inner workings of the individual musicians. Lamb Of God show all the warts, from vans breaking down, complaints about touring and live shows, arguments and even fisticuffs! Guitarist mark Morton knocks out singer randy Blythe, all caught on film.” -Brave Words And Bloody Knuckles, Canada
