[2] The group met controversy when they were banned from playing at The Forum in Inglewood, California, where Metallica were booked for two dates.

Faithful Central Bible Church, the owners of The Forum, refused to let the group perform after they had learned the band formerly went by the name "Burn the Priest".

[3] This was the second occasion Lamb of God ran into a dispute with the venue; the group were previously banned from performing in 2005 while supporting Slipknot on their Subliminal Verses Tour.

Morton was replaced by Buz McGrath of Unearth for the remaining summer dates,[8] and Doc Coyle of God Forbid for the first three weeks of a fall North American leg.
