Recently, LAMB OF GOD released their official music videos for “Overlord” and “512”, both directed by Jorge Torres-Torres.
“Although there’s plenty of LAMB OF GOD’s
trademark guitar chug and Olympics-level drumming, the eerier moments
(see the jailhouse tale “512”) and unexpected guests (including members
of Deftones and the Dillinger Escape Plan) show a group that’s thirsty
to evolve beyond its own established patterns.” – Kory Grow, Rolling Stone
“"VII: Sturm und Drang",
for all of its polish and bows to melody, is one of the fiercest albums
they've ever laid down… This album is a full-on purge and if you can
relate, "VII: Sturm und Drang" will get you off in more ways than one.” – Ray Van Horn Jr., Blabbermouth.net
“LAMB OF GOD's return with VII: Sturm und Drang
[Epic Records] is a flawless fire and brimstone blast. This is heavy
music forged in flames of raw emotion and experience in the most
unbridled manner. The group… carve out a rapturously heavy and
unsettlingly hypnotic space that's easy to fall into. This is the band's
most simultaneously atomic and atmospheric body of work to date.” – Rick Florino, ArtistDirect.com
“The
band's newest work finds them continuing to find the fine balance
between sinister thrash and metallic catchiness on standout tracks like
"Overlord" and "Erase This”.” – Jason Roche, OC Weekly
“…the
band sounds fresh, and ready to take on the world once again with an
album that will stand the test of time. This is how it’s done, kids.” – Sam Roon, SkullsNBones.com
VII: Sturm Und Drang
is once again produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur with engineering by
Wilbur, Nick Rowe, and Kyle McAulay, and was recorded at NRG Recording
Studios in North Hollywood, CA and Suburban Soul Studios in Torrance,
CA. LAMB OF GOD’s last album, the 2012 Grammy-nominated Resolution,
debuted at #3 on the US Billboard Top 200, #1 on the US Top Hard Rock
and Rock Album charts, #2 on the Canadian albums chart, and #3 on the
Australian albums chart.

ABOUT LAMB OF GOD:
Richmond, VA natives LAMB OF GOD originally formed in 1994 as Burn The Priest
while in college together at Virginia Commonwealth University,
initially performing in meagre venues and hocking rough demos amongst
the local scene. In 1998, the band changed their moniker to LAMB OF GOD,
which would mark their impending ascension to top-tier status, as well
as one of the only tangible career deviations that the band would ever
undertake – having consistently released chart-topper after chart-topper
while maintaining a true and constant line-up of members and
increasingly growing fanbase; a rarity in modern music. The band’s first
major release, 2000’s New American Gospel, was immediately touted as an instant metal classic. AllMusic stated it best, “The
essential signatures of post-Pantera metal are in abundance on Lamb of
God's inaugural album. New American Gospel provides a mighty oak upon
which gritty American metal's faith is maintained, effectively bridging
the '90s' insistence upon drill-sergeant technicality and the old
school's determined focus on riff construction.”
In 2007, just a short time after putting out monumentally successful releases Ashes of the Wake (Album, 2004, #27 of 200 debut), Killadelphia (DVD, 2004, RIAA Platinum), and Sacrament (Album, 2006, #8 of 200 debut), LAMB OF GOD
was honored with a Grammy nomination for the track “Redneck”. This
would mark the first of four Grammy nominations for the band. After the
release of Walk With Me In Hell (DVD, 2008), the second and third
Grammy nominations came in 2010 and 2011 for tracks “Set to Fail” and
“In Your Words”, both cut from Wrath (CD, 2009, #2 of 200 debut). The fourth nomination arrived for the band’s track “Ghost Walking”, cut from their 2012 album Resolution (CD, #3 of 200 debut). Now, on the cusp of releasing their seventh full-length album VII: Sturm Und Drang,
the five-piece is poised to prove their lasting consistency by offering
another blistering contribution of the highest quality heavy metal – a
record that no one other than LAMB OF GOD could truly execute.
Having
amassed the globe with countless world tours and millions of albums
sold, all-the-while overcoming countless hurdles ranging from personal
demons to vocalist Randy Blythe’s 2013 trial in Prague (which resulted
in the acclaimed 2014 full-length feature documentary, As The Palaces Burn, and upcoming book, Dark Days: A Memoir, authored by the frontman and releasing in July), LAMB OF GOD stands the test of time as the biggest, most influential heavy metal band of the new millennium.
LAMB OF GOD is:
Randy Blythe - vocals
Mark Morton - guitar
Willie Adler - guitar
John Campbell - bass
Chris Adler – drums
