The discography of Lamb of God, an American heavy metal band, consists of five studio albums, one live album, three video albums, and nine music videos. Originally known under the moniker "Burn the Priest", the band was founded in 1990 by Chris Adler, John Campbell and Mark Morton. In 1997, Burn the Priest released two split 7-inches with ZED and Agents of Satan. The next year, the band issued a compilation CD of singles and other one-off tracks titled Sevens and More issued by the now-defunct MP3.com; Followed by the self-titled full-length debut, released through Legion Records, in 1999. Shortly after the self-titled's debut release, the band change its name to "Lamb of God" and signed a record deal with Prosthetic Records. The group's next album, New American Gospel, was released in 2000. Produced by Devin Townsend, 2003's As the Palaces Burn was critically acclaimed, with the Revolver magazine award it as "Album of the Year."[1] However, the album was not a commercial success and entered only for the Top Heatseekers chart, peaking at #17.[2]

In 2004, Ashes of the Wake was released through the band's major label debut—through Epic Records—Ashes of the Wake, that sold 35,000 copies in its first week of release and peak at #27 on the Billboard 200.[3] Lamb of God's second video album, titled Killadelphia in reference to the location where it was filmed, at Trocadero Theatre in Philadelphia during October 2004, was released in June 2005—sold 8,000 in its first-week and peak at #4 on the Billboard Top Music Videos chart—being certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in August the same year, for sales in excess of 50,000 copies.[4] At the end of the same year was released the audio edition. Their second full-length issued by Epic label, 2006's Sacrament, in its first week of release sold around 63,000 copies in the United States and peak at #8 on the Billboard 200 chart.[3] In July 2008, Lamb of God release the follow-up to Killadelphia entitled Walk with Me in Hell, the two-disc DVD peak at #2 on the Billboard Top Music Videos chart (their best-career position to date), selling over 13,000 copies in its first week of release in the US.[5] Walk with Me in Hell was certified gold by RIAA in August the same year.[6] Lamb of God's newest studio album Wrath, was released through Epic in the US, and Roadrunner Records worldwide, on February 24, 2009. It debuted at #2 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling nearly 68,000 copies.[7]
