Lamb of God are on a tear with doing cool stuff recently, their most recent endeavor being the re-release of their As the Palaces Burn record. This film has nothing to do with the record and is instead of a documentary about the impact of metal on different cultures! It's gonna be awesome.
The band recently announced they'd be working with Specticast to drop the film on our collective heads come February 27 of next year! It was filmed all throughout 2012 and concluded in March 2013. According to a press release that explains the premise of the film:
"'As The Palaces Burn'… was conceived to be a documentary focused on the power of music and its impact on cultures around the world and its ability to bring together people of all nationalities regardless of religious or political differences. After a worldwide casting call, filming took place in Colombia, Venezuela, Israel, India, and the United States. As filming reached its conclusion, the documentary was forced to take a major turn when the band’s lead singer, Randy Blythe, was arrested in the Czech Republic and charged with the murder of a fan in June 2012. Granted unique access to Blythe’s continuing saga, Argott’s filming covered Blythe’s 38 day imprisonment in Prague, his release and the band’s return to live performances, and finally Blythe’s trial for murder in Prague in February 2013."
It sounds like a really interesting concept for a film. Was this what Mark Morton was showing us his score from when he said "an upcoming film"? It certainly fits the bill.
