Plot Summary
A feature-length documentary that originally sought to follow metal band Lamb of God and their fans throughout the world to demonstrate how music ties us together when we can't find any other common bond. During the filming process in 2012, the story abruptly took a dramatic turn. The band was brought into a Kafkaesque nightmare, when lead singer Randy Blythe was arrested on charges of manslaughter - blamed for the death of one of their young fans in the Czech Republic. What followed was a heart-wrenching courtroom drama that left fans, friends, and curious onlookers around the world on the edge of their seats.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: You don't need to like Lamb of God's music - although, for the record, you should because it's awesome - to walk away from As the Palaces Burn feeling genuinely fond of the band.
Rotten: Don Argott's documentary about the heavy-metal band Lamb of God would have been a conventional rock doc if it had not been for a tragic incident at one of the band's concerts in Prague in 2010.
Fresh: It's a weird little hybrid movie. It becomes unforgettable at just the point where you were beginning to forget it.
Fresh: As the Palaces Burn metamorphoses from slam-dancing rock doc to genuinely gripping courtroom drama.
