"Although Albini's lyrics for 'Kerosene' evoke small-town boredom, there is no geography more terrifying to me than the ever-spreading and soulless cookie-cutter sprawl of suburbia," says vocalist Randy Blythe. "After I suggested a suburban location for the 'Kerosene' video, director Zev Deans took it to the next level with visual nods to one of my favorite films, the classic punk flick »Suburbia.« I first saw this film in the 80's at the midnight movies at the Naro Theater in Deans' hometown of Norfolk, VA - yet another example of synergy at work. Enjoy!"

In addition to these tracks, »Legion: XX« features other songs originally performed by CRO-MAGS, AGNOSTIC FRONT, QUICKSAND MINISTRY, MELVINS, S.O.D., and Richmond punk band SLIANG LAOS. Produced with Josh Wilbur at the helm, Legion: XX exhibits BURN THE PRIEST in their true element.

LAMB OF GOD may be one of the biggest bands in modern metal, but they will never forget where they came from. Mark Morton (guitars), John Campbell (bass), and Chris Adler (drums) formed the first incarnation of the band, BURN THE PRIEST, in the winter of 1994 after meeting four years earlier as students at Virginia Commonwealth University. Less than a year later, in the summer of 1995, they met vocalist Randy Blythe before adding Chris Adler's brother, Willie Adler (guitars), prior to transitioning to LAMB OF GOD – and the rest is global metal history.

The tracks on »Legion: XX« are performed with the unmistakable precision that has kept LAMB OF GOD vital for two decades, but ultimately harks back to the raw, punk-driven sound first explored by four unsuspecting college students and a line cook-turned-vocalist in their beginnings as heavy music giants.
