The web is buzzing about ‘As The Palaces Burn’!

 

See what press is saying about the film:

 

“As The Palaces Burn” is obviously a film for any Lamb Of God fan, but one that I can see anyone being a fan of. It shows the power of music around the world, the humility of one man with what seems like the whole world against him, and that no matter what country you live in or visit, being true to yourself is the most important thing. This is definitely a MUST SEE!” –Mark McPheeters, SkullsNBones.com

 

“Don Argott has done an incredible job of capturing some of Blythe’s personal and introspective moments… This movie is a must see, and shows a Lamb of God that has walked through hell and is stronger than ever.  I enjoyed every moment of this film…” - Thomas Woroniak, Rock Revolt Magazine

 

“A documentary EVERY metalhead needs to see! If you followed this trial, you need to see this. If you are a Lamb of God fan, you absolutely need to see this.” - Robert Pasbani, Metal Injection

 

“…very compelling… ‘As The Palaces Burn’ documents a tragic event and its aftermath with skill and dexterity.”  - Chad Bowar, About.com – Heavy Metal

 

“…a fine piece of film making, regardless of ones' degree of fandom.” - Mark Gromen, Bravewords.com

 

“Scenes with Blythe discussing his travails… provide the audience with a fantastic and highly emotional real life legal thriller to observe.” - Axl Rosenberg, MetalSucks

Lamb of God's AS THE PALACES BURN - Beginning February 27, 2014 In 1995, five guys from Virginia with a love of heavy metal began jamming together. They played in basements and dingy clubs, recorded demos, worked hard, built a rabid underground fan base, and eventually called themselves Lamb of God.   Now, more than fifteen years later, Lamb of God has achieved the kind of success that kids with garage bands dream about - they have sold over two million albums, made two platinum-selling DVDs, been nominated for four Grammy Awards, and have continued growing their cult of heavy metal loyalists into a worldwide community.   AS THE PALACES BURN is a feature-length documentary that originally sought to follow the band and their fans throughout the world, to demonstrate how music ties us together when we can't find any other common bond. However, during the filming process in 2012, the story abruptly took a dramatic turn, bringing the band into a Kafkaesque nightmare, when lead singer Randy Blythe was arrested on charges of manslaughter, blamed for the death of one of their young fans in the Czech Republic. What followed was a heart-wrenching courtroom drama that left fans, friends, and curious onlookers around the world on the edge of their seats.   The film includes a new/pre-recorded Q&A with the band members available exclusively to audiences attending theatrical screenings.
