Lamb of God Drop ‘Omens’ Title-Track and Announce Extensive 2022 Tour Plans

With their ninth album just around the corner, metal titans Lamb of God have just released “Omens”, the title track with an accompanying video. The gargantuan “Omens” follows the album’s first single, “Nevermore,” which collected more than 1 million views on YouTube and over 1 million streams on Spotify shortly after its release just last month.

Speaking about the track, frontman D.Randall Blythe said:

“I think a lot of the messes human beings find ourselves in could be very easily prevented simply by paying attention to obvious repeating patterns, both in our personal lives and in a broader sociohistorical context. What some call ‘omens’ are really just manifestations of the fact that there is nothing new under the sun. It’s foolish to ignore this, but we all do it.”

Omens arrives on October 7th, 2022 via Nuclear Blast Records and has been described as Lamb Of God’s angriest album yet. Produced by long-time collaborator Josh Wilbur (Korn, Megadeth), Omens is a vicious new testament for the Richmond, Virginia-based band, a furious entry in their beloved catalogue.

On the album itself, the frontman 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.”

Omens the album is available to pre-order in various formats with physical CD and vinyl orders from the Nuclear Blast store to include a free access code to watch the livestream viewing of “The Making of Omens” documentary, which will premiere the week of album release.
