Lamb of God heeft voor zijn DVD "Killadelphia" de gouden status gekregen van de Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
"Killadelphia" bevat voornamelijk live materiaal dat is gefilmd tijdens de twee shows die Lamb of God gaf op 16 en 17 oktober 2004 in Trocadero, Philadelphia. Ook tijdens het verloop van de "Ashes of Wake"-tour is behind-the-scenes gefilmd.
Lamb of God-drummer Chris Adler, zie foto, heeft wel een verklaring voor de goede verkoopcijfers:
"In today's age of gimmicks, lies and faux reality trying to make celebrities out of everyone with a few dollars, it was important for us to not stage or hype up a damn thing — to simply show Lamb of God on the road; the good times, the bad times and one hell of a show — and for that stripped down, no-holds-barred approach to be received this well certainly flatters us, but also continues to make a dent in the industry full of fakes and talentless image. It's nice to know that we didn't have to be anything other than ourselves to achieve such success with this DVD, but the real praise should go to our friends and fans who picked up 'Killadelphia' and in doing so have sent a message to the powers that be that we are sick of the over hyped, fake 'real world' being shoved down our throats — we are all ready for the honest, genuine bands and music to take center stage once again."
