Lamb of God announce new album ‘Omens’ + tour dates

Richmond, Virginia heavy metal favorites Lamb of God have confirmed their new album titled ‘Omens,’ which was recorded at Henson Recording Studios (formerly A&M Studios) in Los Angeles, California, produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur (Korn, Megadeth), and is set to drop on October 7th through Epic Records (pre-order). New single, “Nevermore,” is scheduled to arrive this Friday, June 10th — stay tuned!

Along with the new LP announcement, Lamb of God have revealed a massive North American tour for September and October with support from Killswitch Engage on all dates, plus Baroness, Motionless in White, Spiritbox, Animals as Leaders, Suicide Silence, and Fit For An Autopsy in select markets. All tour dates are listed below.

Lamb of God’s Mark Morton comments on today’s announcement, “Two decades ago, Lamb of God, along with Killswitch Engage, were a part of a new wave of American heavy metal music. Our scene grew from a small, loosely connected network of underground shows in basements and warehouses, into a global phenomenon that helped define an entire generation of modern heavy metal. We are thrilled to announce The Omens Tour, which celebrates not only the perseverance and impact of that original movement, but also the creativity and originality of the bands that it influenced. Heavy metal is alive and well. The Omens Tour proudly showcases the depth and diversity of our scene. This is not a tour to miss.”

Regarding upcoming new LP ‘Omens,’ Lamb of God vocalist D. Randall Blythe states, “The world is crazy and keeps changing. Omens is a reaction to the state of the world. It’s a very pissed-off record … It is extremely pissed-off.”
