Lamb of God Announces New Album, New Tour Dates
Lamb of God have announced that they will be releasing their new album, Omens, on October 7th via Epic Records. This will be the ninth overall studio album for the five-piece metal act. The first new single from Omens, titled “Nevermore”, will be released this Friday, June 10th. The album was produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur (Korn, Megadeth).
The band will be kicking off an extensive tour this fall with support from Killswitch Engage, and select support from acts like Baroness, Motionless In White, Spiritbox, Animals as Leaders, Suicide Silence, and Fit For An Autopsy. The tour is slated to kick off on September 9th in Brooklyn, NY, and will wrap up on October 20th in Irving, TX. Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, and Motionless In White will perform on October 7th at the Sacramento-based Aftershock Festival.
In a press release announcing the new album and upcoming tour, the band stated the following:
"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.”
Tickets are set to go on sale this Friday, June 10th at 10 AM local time, and you can find out more information here. The album is available for pre-order now, and you can view the full track listing and album artwork below. All tour dates for the upcoming Omens tour can be found below as well.
