Across their career Lamb Of God grew from basement shows and grimy DIY venues to headline arenas. The New Wave of American Heavy Metal architects earned a reverence akin to musical forefathers (and road companions) Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth.
"For millions of headbangers, Lamb Of God are simply the most important contemporary metal band in the world," Guitar World observed. Timeless songs like "Laid to Rest," "Redneck," "Walk with Me in Hell," and "Now You've Got Something to Die For" became anthems in the heavy metal songbook, with gargantuan vocals born from both righteous anger and devotion, and unrivaled riffs for the ages.
Now, the Grammy-nominated goliath follows 2020's self-titled slab with a vicious new testament. Riding high on an insatiable drive, a focused collective camaraderie, and a creative renaissance saluted by the likes of Rolling Stone and NME, Lamb Of God returned to longtime producer Josh Wilbur (Megadeth, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold) and carved the gloriously unhinged Omens into sonic stone.
Even as D. Randall Blythe (vocals), Mark Morton (lead guitar), Willie Adler (guitar), John Campbell (bass), and Art Cruz (drums) enjoy one another's company and chemistry like never before, Omens is possibly the angriest Lamb Of God album yet. Densely muscular, soaked in unnerving spite, with a pessimistic eye toward inner struggles and global affairs alike, Omens is a furious entry in the catalog.
Most of the album was recorded live in the studio, including Blythe's vibrantly unhinged vocal attack. Morton and Adler's riffs threaten, challenge, and devastate. Cruz and Campbell's unstoppable rhythms lurch and beckon. Having shined on 2020's Lamb Of God, Cruz injects even more nuance and personality into his playing across Omens' songs.
It's a potent, palpable energy Lamb Of God first tapped when they shoved heavy metal into the new millennium with New American Gospel (2000). As the Palaces Burn (2003) joined Rolling Stone's Top 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time. Ashes of the Wake (2004) was the first Lamb Of Gold album certified gold by the RIAA, a feat once all but impossible for a contemporary extreme metal band.
Sacrament (2006), Revolver's Album of the Year, went gold as well. The raw and organic malice of Wrath (2009) began the band's enduring relationship with Wilbur. Both the diverse Resolution (2012) and the explosive VII: Sturm und Drang (2015) debuted in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200.
The 2020 self-titled set, their first new material in five years, added instant classics "Memento Mori" and "Resurrection Man" to the repertoire, alongside eight more monster tracks. Revolver, Metal Hammer, Loudwire, and Consequence included Lamb Of God on their year-end Best Albums lists. The momentum continues with Omens, arguably the band's most aggressive and ambitious yet.
The hardcore fire at the heart of Lamb Of God still burns as hot as the 12-foot flames blazing the stages on their co-headlining trek with Megadeth, appropriately called "The Metal Tour of the Year." Even as the state of the world descends, the state of the union for Lamb Of God remains strong.

One of the best shows I’ve been to in a while. Lamb of God is timeless and to play Ashes of the Wake front to back was a gift. Epic show.
Was a very fun time! I think security did a great job keeping the peace in such an expectedly rowdy environment.
Favourite band for over a decade, so glad to have seen them live finally!
An amazing show. All bands were top tier. Tge sound was great and atmosphere was electric
I haven’t been to metal show in a very long but I would have to say this was my top 3 I mean I’ve saw Lamb of God back 2016 which was deadly I’ve never saw Mastodon they are absolutely magnificent the opening bands were really good as well it was wicked to see Kerry King so yeah it was the best show I’ve went to and can’t wait to go to another one 🤘
Lamb of God are simply put the heavyweight champions of heavy metal thunder. That show was beyond comprehension and it was a masterpiece of metal. Lamb of God are so awesome that it’s a must to see them live. Absolutely stunning how they sound and their commitment to putting on an epic performance. The energetic music and their levels of mayhem cannot be matched!!! There is absolutely no weakness in this band!!! They are full on chaos unleashed on a world that is way to weak to even thinking of standing against this assault!!! Pure heavy metal that cannot be beat!!! Drums are a weapon of destruction Guitars are riffs and razor blades Bass is the anchor of millstones Vocals are like a vacuum of tornadoes I call this…. THE SOUNDTRACK TO ARMAGEDDON!!!! 10/10
All four bands were amazing and put on great shows! Audio was off a bit, vocals started getting buried and muddy.
Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary is terrible for concerts and all bands should refuse to play there. As for the bands on the line up, wicked
What a phenomenal concert! The energy, the music, the people - highly recommend you check this out
