LAMB OF GOD has released a new single called "Evidence". The song arrives on the first anniversary of the release of the band's "Omens" album and was recorded during the sessions for the Richmond, Virginia metal act's ninth album. Watch the official lyric video here.
LAMB OF GOD singer Randy Blythe stated about the lyrical inspiration for "Evidence": "One of the more baffling aspects of modern-day life is the conscious rejection of empirical facts in favor of Internet echo chamber emotional security blankets. Truth is not subjective, no matter how uncomfortable that makes some people. Art is, though, so enjoy the song, however you may choose to interpret it."
On Saturday, October 7, LAMB OF GOD released the documentary "Making Of: Omens" to a wide audience for the first time via YouTube. October 7 is the literal one-year mark for "Omens", and last year the documentary was released in a limited capacity on-demand during release month to fans who purchased viewing tickets and/or vinyl/CD bundles.
"Omens" was the follow-up to LAMB OF GOD's self-titled album, which arrived in June 2020. That effort marked LAMB OF GOD's first recordings with drummer Art Cruz, who joined the band in July 2019 as the replacement for the group's founding drummer, Chris Adler.
Lamb Of God just concluded a busy summer. They supported Pantera on the legendary band’s first headline tour since 2001, performing to sold out amphitheatres and sheds on a nightly basis. In between, they concurrently packed venues on their own headline jaunt across North America.Next, Lamb Of God hit the high seas on their inaugural Headbangers Boat cruise, which sets sail from Miami, Florida to Nassau, Bahamas for a 4-day trip on Halloween, October 31st. The group will perform two sets on-board, including their classic album Ashes Of The Wake in its entirety.
A stellar collection of their metal brethren will also perform on board, including Mastodon, Testament, Hatebreed, GWAR, Malevolence, Bleed From Within, Municipal Waste, Shadows Fall, Lacuna Coil, God Forbid, Gatecreeper, Fit For An Autopsy, Vio-lence, Dying Wish plus a Mark Morton acoustic set (with friends).
