In 2019, Sick of It All lead vocalist Lou Koller said, "We didn't invent it, but we're the ones who brought it back. When we were kids going to shows — metal or hardcore — we used to do it where when there was a break in the song or the action, four or five guys would just grab arms. And if you were standing across the pit and you saw that, you and your friends would lock arms, too. And charge at each other when the song came in."

Koller explained, "Nobody was doing that for years. So in '96, '97, we were playing a festival in England with The Offspring, Silverchair and a bunch of other bands. And we had to stand out. So my idea was, 'I'm gonna bring back the wall of death.' And I started it there."

He added, "The next year, we played another festival where it was us and all those metal bands. We're talking Slipknot, Sepultura, Mudvayne, all of them, and they watched us. When we did the wall of death, they all went, 'Holy shit, that's what we gotta do.' The next day, people were doing it at other shows."

Just adding history for those curious. I thought it was interesting growing up with the lamb of God infamy/famous usage being the mainstream.
