LAMB OF GOD's 'Walk With Me In Hell' DVD Certified Platinum

July 30, 2009

"Walk With Me In Hell", the third DVD from Richmond, Virginia metallers LAMB OF GOD, has been certified platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for shipments in excess of 50,000 copies. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the two-disc set has moved 46,000 units in the United States since its June 30, 2008 release. (Note: Platinum certification for a single-disc music video longform is 100,000 copies.)

The "Walk With Me In Hell" DVD debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Top Music Videos chart, with first-week sales of over 13,000 copies.

LAMB OF GOD's previous DVD, the platinum-certified "Killadelphia", sold 8,000 copies in its first week of release to enter the chart at No. 4.

"Walk With Me In Hell" (read Scott Alisoglu's review of the DVD at this location) features over five hours of incredible, all-access footage. Disc 1 contains the feature documentary "Walk With Me In Hell" and multiple live performance extras from across the globe on the "Sacrament" world tour. The documentary chronicles every detail in the lives of LAMB OF GOD as they completed recording and toured around the world nearly three times over in support of the 2006 album "Sacrament". Disc 2 includes an additional full-length "Making of Sacrament" feature plus LAMB OF GOD's entire, uncut, brutal performance at the Download festival 2007, where they performed in front of over 72,000 fans. Extras include deleted scenes, live performance videos for various tour stops, the official music video for "Redneck", and a "Making of Redneck" documentary.

"We're on stage for 90 minutes a day," drummer Chris Adler previously stated. "People want to know what's going on for the other 22 ½ hours. It's not always limousines and champagne! 'Killadelphia' surprised a lot of people and proved that we refuse to censor or hold anything back. True to the high standard that we hold ourselves to, 'Walk With Me In Hell' is unlike any music DVD I've ever seen. This is an entire new level of documentary taking you on an intense, worldwide journey with us."

"Walk With Me In Hell" features all-access footage from the bus to the stage and everything in between, and like the band’s unrelenting music, never lets up.

"'Walk With Me In Hell' is a very proud moment for us as a band. It's hard to comprehend the pain and glory when you're in the middle of it, but looking back over the past two years we can begin to understand how huge this record and touring cycle was," said Adler. "It shows the blood shed and what it takes to not only hold our own, but succeed in the face of every obstacle in front of us. We have never offered less than our best, our fans expect and deserve it, and this DVD will serve as a landmark for all that follow."

"Walk With Me In Hell" was directed by Doug Spangenberg, who has also directed the platinum-awarded "Killadelphia" DVD, plus LAMB OF GOD's first DVD, "Terror and Hubris".
