The Authorship Story
Data Insight
Most of this catalogue is credited to the band and not to anybody in it: 86 of the 131 tracks carry the group name, and 45 name a member. The exceptions are worth noticing. Burn the Priest and New American Gospel split the credit, with Randy Blythe taking the lyrics and the band taking the music. Ashes of the Wake names all five members on every track. Into Oblivion in 2026 goes back to the split, Blythe on lyrics and the four musicians on the music. Legion: XX is a covers record, so its ten tracks credit the bands they came from.
