Born in 1976, in Richmond, Virginia, Willie Adler is best known as the rhythm guitarist and main songwriter for metal titans, Lamb Of God.
At the age of just eleven, Willie was already banging is head to the beat of legendary metal bands like Metallica, and it wasn't before long that he was thrashing away on his first guitar.
Lamb of God
As the years progressed, he developed a very distinctive and undeniably, killer style. His use of odd and discordant chords, combined with his unique sense of timing, rhythm, and super-human stretch, has made Willie one of the most popular metal guitarists on the planet, and one of the hardest to imitate.
Willie is very focused on his right hand technique, and because of this, he has been able come up with some of the most brutal rhythms and staccato style riffs that have ever been written, which of course, combine perfectly with the groove oriented lead guitar playing of fellow Lamb Of God guitarist, Mark Morton.
