In addition to the release of the album, on Friday LAMB OF GOD premiered a video for Lamb Of Godā€™s fourth single, ā€œGears,ā€ and lyric videos for five of the albumā€™s tracks. Watch the lyric videos at https://lambofgod.lnk.to/LOG/youtube. The highly anticipated album from metalā€™s reigning kings immediately made waves with press radio and sales, debuting at number one on Overall, Rock and Metal iTunes charts, and number one on Spotifyā€™s Kickass Metal playlist.
Ā 
The fact that the bandā€™s eighth studio effort would warrant ā€˜self-titledā€™ status is a testament to the bandā€™s pride and satisfaction with these songs and this period in their creativity.
Ā 
A true collaboration between all members of the band,Ā LAMB OF GODā€™s eighth studio album is an amalgam of each individualā€™sĀ contributions, blendedĀ to create a singular style. Guitarists Mark Morton and Willie AdlerĀ fuelĀ the album with a mountain of riffs, taking what Lamb of God are known for, and unbelievably, upping the ante to new levels. The rhythm section of John Campbell, looming large as a rhythmic shadow, and drummer Art Cruz, who makes his studio debut withĀ LAMB OF GODĀ here on this record,Ā underpin the proceedings with passion, sweat and expansive dynamics. Vocalist D. Randall Blythe is as angry, insightful, and informed as ever. Never one to shrink from facing the darker aspects of our nature head-on, Blythe delivers with no punches pulled, and as only he and Lamb of God can in 2020.
Ā 
Audiences got a taste of the first new LAMB OF GOD music in nearly five years with ā€œCheckmateā€ back in February, followed by ā€œMemento Moriā€ and the most recent single, ā€œNew Colossal Hate.ā€ All four songs will appear on Lamb Of God, the follow-up to VII: Sturm und Drang (2015). The album was once again produced by collaborator Josh Wilbur (Gojira, Korn, Megadeth, Trivium), fueled by a mountain of riffs and looming rhythmic shadows. It is also the bandā€™s first record with Cruz, who sat behind the kit with LAMB OF GOD in 2018 and became an official member the following year.Ā In addition to Chuck Billy, the new album features a guest appearance from Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed). Blythe sounds more driven and insightful than ever on Lamb Of God, offering up the angriest and most comprehensive diatribes, addressing modern life in the current landscape, of his storied career thus far.Ā 
Ā 
LAMB OF GOD propelled heavy metal into the new millennium two decades ago with the prophetically titledĀ New American Gospel.Ā They followed with 2003ā€™sĀ As the Palaces Burn, which made theĀ Rolling StoneĀ list of the Top 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time.Ā Ashes of the Wake (2004) was the first LAMB OF GOD album to be certified gold by the RIAA, followed by Sacrament (2006), which debuted in Billboardā€™s Top 10. Wrath (2009) earned the No. 1 spot onĀ Billboardā€™s Hard Rock, Rock, and Tastemaker charts and was No. 2 on theĀ BillboardĀ 200.Ā Those No. 1 positions were repeated with Resolution (2012). VII: Sturm und DrangĀ (2015) debuted at No. 3 in North America and in the Top 5 in several countries. The single ā€œ512ā€ from VII: Sturm und DrangĀ received a Grammy nod for the ā€œBest Metal Performance,ā€ making it LAMB OF GODā€™s fifth Grammy nomination.
Ā 
In 2020,Ā LAMB OF GODĀ is re-energized and unrelenting, ready to lay claim to the metal throne.
