LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe has posted the following message via his Instagram account:

"And so another album cycle comes to an end. This has been a very eventful, at times VERY STRESSFUL, album cycle, and it's been about three years since we started on this one in our practice space - I need a break. Tomorrow is a 19-hour flight back to the USA, and then another one home to RVA, and except for two festival shows in 2014, I will not be thinking about Lamb Of God, touring, playing heavy metal, writing new Lamb Of God material - NONE OF THAT STUFF - AT ALL - for a good long while. Time to do other things for a bit, and let my brain regroup, and be a somewhat normal human being.

This has been a pretty wild ride though, and to end it in AFRICA of all places still amazes the crap outta me. So thanks Johannesburg for an awesome end to the Resolution tour cycle, and to all you other bands, hear this: the game has been stepped up, and the ante has risen. You are not a REAL G until you come to South Africa and your fans throw one of THESE to you on stage - a warthog skull. Takes the cake for the strangest thing throw at me on stage ever, and I've had some weird shit thrown at me - I named him Jeff. Jeff, the South African warthog. Top that, y'all.

Don't front like your ballin' if you ain't rockin' that wart hog shizzy. I figured I'd finish up the cycle with a nice self-portrait. Me and Jeff are outty. Peace, and one love."

Philadelphia’s Trocadero Theatre will host the worldwide premiere of the Lamb Of God feature documentary film, As The Palaces Burn, on February 16th. Capacity for this event will be limited to 800 people. Included in that capacity will be 50 VIP packages which will include a meet and greet with the band prior to the showing of the film. The Trocadero Theatre was the site of the band’s platinum DVD, Killadelphia, which made this a natural choice for the movie premiere.

Besides being shown theatrically worldwide in 350 theaters, 13 US club venues have been chosen for exclusive screenings of the film. Tickets for all venues go on sale this weekend, except in Toronto which go on sale today. The cities and venues are:

As The Palaces Burn, not to be confused with the making-of documentary packaged with the recent re-release of the 2003 Lamb Of God album of the same name, 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.
