Lamb Of God Omens

Over the course of their career, Lamb Of God grew from basement shows and dingy DIY venues to headline arenas. The New Wave of American heavy metal architects earned a reverence similar to musical forefathers (and companions) Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth.

Now, the Grammy-nominated Goliath follows up 2020's self-titled record with a vicious new testament. With an insatiable drive, a focused collective camaraderie and a creative renaissance hailed by Rolling Stone and NME, Lamb Of God returned to longtime producer Josh Wilbur (Megadeth, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold) to carve the gloriously unhinged Omen into Schallstein.

Though D. Randall Blythe (vocals), Mark Morton (lead guitar), Willie Adler (guitar), John Campbell (bass) and Art Cruz (drums) enjoy each other's company and chemistry like never before, Omens is possibly the most furious Lamb Of God album yet. Densely muscular, imbued with unnerving malice, with a pessimistic view of internal struggles and global affairs alike, Omens is an angry entry in the catalog.

Most of the album was recorded live in the studio, including Blythe's vibrant, unhinged vocal attack. Morton and Adler's riffs threaten, challenge and devastate. The unstoppable rhythms of Cruz and Campbell jerk and beckon. After shining on Lamb Of God in 2020, Cruz brings even more nuance and personality to his playing over the songs of Omens.
