Lamb of God reveals ‘Omens’ album, tour

Project arrives Oct 7th with the tour kicking off Sept 9th

Lamb of God follows 2020’s No. 1 Hard Rock Album with a vicious new testament. The Grammy-nominated goliath returns with the gloriously unhinged Omens, produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur (Korn, Megadeth). The first single, “Nevermore,” arrives on Friday, June 10th with the project to follow on October 7th via Epic Records.

The New Wave Of American Heavy Metal architects will support the new album with a massive Live Nation produced US headlining tour, The Omens Tour, featuring special guests Killswitch Engage on all dates. Different legs will also see support from Baroness, Motionless In White, Spiritbox, Animals As Leaders as well as Suicide Silence and Fit For An Autopsy. The tour kicks off September 9th in Brooklyn and runs through October 20th. Tickets go on sale starting Friday, June 10th at 10 am local time via Ticketmaster.

Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, June 7th at 10 am ET until Thursday, June 9th at 10 pm local time through Citi Entertainment.

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 their angriest album yet. “The world is crazy and keeps changing. Omens is a reaction to the state of the world,” explains vocalist D. Randall Blythe. “It’s a very pissed-off record.” He pauses for emphasis. “It is extremely pissed-off.”

Omens is also Lamb Of God’s most diverse affair. The band tracked live in the room together at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles, a location that birthed classics from The Doors, Pink Floyd, The Ramones, and Soundgarden, among others. “The inner workings of the band have never been better,” explains guitarist Mark Morton. “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.”

The group’s webstore boasts several exclusive items, including a signed colored vinyl variant, shirt, hoodie, and signed CDs with an alternate color cover. All physical CD and vinyl releases will include a free access code to watch the livestream viewing of The Making of Omens documentary, which will premiere the week of album release.
