Data Insight

The credit splits from the start: Randy Blythe writes the lyrics, sometimes with a guest, and the music goes to Burn the Priest as a group. Judd Prather and the producer Steve Austin are the two outside names on the record.

Burn the Priest is the band's first album, released in April 1999 under the name they used before Lamb of God. It was reissued in 2005 with a remix by Colin Richardson after the band had broken through.
