Lamb of God (originally named Burn
the Priest) is a Grammy Award-nominated punk/speed metal/heavy metal rock music
band from Virginia. Their lyrics
often include biblical references coupled with anti-religious messages and their fan base is called the "Congregation." Other themes include politics,
misanthropy, and attacks on hypocrisy. They do not wish to be thought of as a Satanist band.
On 27 June 2012, Czech police
arrested Lamb of God lead singer Randy Blyth for manslaughter. During a concert he pushed a fan off
the stage. The man hit his head as
he fell and later died. In early
August, Blyth was released from prison after making a large bail payment.

Contrast Lamb of God with the real
Lamb of God, Jesus. (John 1:29,36) The sacrificial lamb is the pure,
unblemished, innocent sacrifice which takes away sin. (Exodus 12:3-6; Luke
9:31; 1 Corinthians 5:7; Isaiah 53:4-7)
Jesus pulls us towards Him rather than pushing us away.
