Lamb of God
Lamb of God
Across their career, Lamb Of God grew from basement shows and grimy DIY venues to headline arenas. Regarded as the New Wave of American Heavy Metal architects, they earned a reverence akin to musical forefathers (and road companions) Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth. “For millions of headbangers, Lamb Of God are simply the most important contemporary metal band in the world,” observed Guitar World. Timeless songs like ‘Laid to Rest,’ ‘Redneck,’ ‘Walk with Me in Hell,’ and ‘Now You’ve Got Something to Die For’ became anthems in the heavy metal songbook, marked by gargantuan vocals born from both righteous anger and devotion, and unrivaled riffs for the ages.
Following 2020’s self-titled release, Lamb Of God delivered a vicious new testament with their latest effort. Riding high on an insatiable drive, a focused collective camaraderie, and a creative renaissance saluted by the likes of Rolling Stone and NME, they returned to longtime producer Josh Wilbur (Megadeth, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold) to forge the gloriously unhinged Omens into sonic stone. With members D. Randall Blythe (vocals), Mark Morton (lead guitar), Willie Adler (guitar), John Campbell (bass), and Art Cruz (drums) enjoying each other’s company and chemistry like never before, Omens is possibly the angriest Lamb Of God album yet. Most of the album was recorded live in the studio, capturing a potent, palpable energy.
The band’s journey includes milestones like New American Gospel (2000) ushering heavy metal into the new millennium, As the Palaces Burn (2003) achieving recognition as one of the greatest metal albums of all time, and Ashes of the Wake (2004) becoming the first Lamb Of God album certified gold by the RIAA. Subsequent albums Sacrament (2006) and Wrath (2009) continued the band’s gold streak, with Resolution (2012) and VII: Sturm und Drang (2015) debuting in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200. The 2020 self-titled album added instant classics like ‘Memento Mori’ and ‘Resurrection Man’ to their repertoire, with Omens continuing the momentum as arguably the band’s most aggressive and ambitious work yet.
