LAMB OF GOD will release a new album entitled “Omens”, on October 7th via Epic Records. The first single from the effort, “Nevermore”, will arrive on Friday, June 10th. Densely muscular, soaked in unnerving spite, with a pessimistic eye toward inner struggles and global affairs alike, “Omens” is a furious entry in the LAMB OF GOD catalog, perhaps the band’s angriest album yet. “Omens” was produced by the group’s longtime collaborator, Josh Wilbur.
Vocalist D. Randall Blythe explains: “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.”
Guitarist Mark Morton adds: “The inner workings of the band have never been better. You can hear it in ‘Omens’. You can see it in our performances, and if you’re around us for five minutes, you can feel it.”
To coincide with the news, LAMB OF GOD have announced details of a massive U.S. Omens headline tour, with support from special guests KILLSWITCH ENGAGE on all dates. They’ll also be joined by BARONESS, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE, SPIRITBOX, ANIMALS AS LEADERS, SUICIDE SILENCE and FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY at various shows.
Guitarist Mark Morton says: “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.”
