First founded in 1994 as Burn the Priest, a moniker under which they released an independent self-titled album five years later, the group adopted the Lamb of God name ahead of signing with Prosthetic Records and releasing the following year’s enthusiasti-cally received ‘New American Gospel’ album. Band members Randy Blythe (vocals), Duane Morton (guitar), Willie Adler (guitar), John Campbell (bass) and Chris Adler (drums) then proceeded to tour for two solid years, greatly developing their fan base before recording 2003’s ‘As the Palaces Burn,’ which won top honors from both ‘Revolver’ and ‘Metal Hammer’ magazines, and led to a major label deal with Epic Records. Lamb of God continued their inexorable career march with the following year’s ‘Ashes of the Wake,’ 2006’s Grammy-nominated ‘Sacrament,’ 2009’s ‘Wrath,’ which amazingly climbed to number two on the Billboard charts, and 2012’s ‘Resolution,’ which paved the way to the band’s most extensive global touring yet. Then, on June 27, 2012, singer Randy Blythe was arrested in Prague on accusations of inflicting bodily harm upon a fan who had died after Lamb of God’s performance in that city, two years earlier. Blythe was eventually cleared of all charges, but the incident cast a pall over the entire band and continues to haunt the musicians (including Blythe, who is working on a book) as they prepare to record Lamb of God’s next studio album, with an expected 2015 release date.”,”post_count”:572,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/lamb-of-god/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/lamb-of-god/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:709,”object_id”:0},{“id”:2296,”slug”:”mark-morton”,”title”:”Mark Morton”,”description”:””,”post_count”:44,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/mark-morton/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/mark-morton/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:2335,”object_id”:0}],”categories”:[{“id”:16,”slug”:”exclusive”,”title”:”Exclusive”,”description”:”Exclusive rock and metal features and interviews.”,”parent”:0,”post_count”:4305,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/exclusive/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/exclusive/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:16,”object_id”:0},{“id”:18,”slug”:”interviews”,”title”:”Interviews”,”description”:”Rock and metal interviews.”,”parent”:0,”post_count”:3107,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/interviews/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/interviews/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:18,”object_id”:0},{“id”:2375,”slug”:”loudwire-nights”,”title”:”Loudwire Nights”,”description”:”Loudwire Nights is a national rock radio show hosted by Chuck Armstrong that airs Monday through Friday, 7PM-Midnight on more 30 stations across America. In addition to playing the best music in rock, the show features interviews with artists and the latest rock news. Loudwire Nights is powered by Loudwire.com.rnrnClick here to see where you can listen to Loudwire Nights.rnrnThe main thing you need to know about Chuck is he’s a fan first.rn rnHe was five years old when he went to his first concert—Def Leppard in Manhattan, Kansas—and he’s gone full speed or nothin’ ever since. Growing up, he was glued to his favorite rock radio station in Kansas City every chance he got, which often meant he was late to school because he didn’t want to stop listening.rnrnIn 2011, Chuck started working with Loudwire. One of his first gigs was attending Metallica’s Orion Music + More Festival in Atlantic City and over the three days he spent in AC, he interviewed nearly every single band that played. Of course, he was front and center for Metallica’s performance of Ride the Lightning in its entirety—the first and only time they’ve ever done that in their career.rn rnThroughout Chuck’s time with Loudwire, some dreams he didn’t even think were possible came true, from interviewing Rob Halford and Vinnie Paul to sitting in a room with Kirk Hammett talking about horror movies and guitar solos. He was slammed against the railing for an intimate club show with Nine Inch Nails and he still may have some hearing loss thanks to Metallica’s epic concert at the legendary Apollo Theater, all so he could tell the tales for Loudwire. rn rnChuck actually helped conceive and build Loudwire Nights when it first launched, so it’s another dream come true for Chuck to sit behind the microphone and host the show. With his love for rock and roll and his deep appreciation for the men and women behind the songs, Chuck is ecstatic to share his fandom with you on Loudwire Nights.rnrnYou can listen live every weeknight at 7PM right here; the shows replay every day.rn”,”parent”:0,”post_count”:1322,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/loudwire-nights/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/loudwire-nights/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:2415,”object_id”:0},{“id”:1560,”slug”:”metal”,”title”:”Metal”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:24984,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/metal/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/metal/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:1571,”object_id”:0},{“id”:6,”slug”:”news”,”title”:”News”,”description”:”Rock news.”,”parent”:0,”post_count”:46071,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/news/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/news/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:6,”object_id”:0},{“id”:1559,”slug”:”rock”,”title”:”Rock”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:28015,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/rock/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/rock/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:1570,”object_id”:0}],”authors”:[{“id”:638559,”slug”:”chuckarmstrong”,”name”:”Chuck Armstrong”,”first_name”:”Chuck”,”last_name”:”Armstrong”,”nickname”:”Chuck Armstrong”,”description”:”For as long as he can remember, Chuck has been crazy about rock and roll.
