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.
Great show! This band can rock. Great sound, but venue wasn't right for them. No mosh pit, and too loud. All in all was an awesome show. If you're thinking about seeing them, stop thinking and buy your tickets! Well worth the money.
The venue is par none when it comes to the sound and energy brought by the Richmond, Virginain metal heads Lamb of God. They crushed it!
BLOODY WICKED. LIKE PRETTY AWESOME. SEATS WERE GREAT AND NICE AND CLOSE. AND FAIR PRICE.
The entire show was great. All three bands put out. Have a whole new respect for COC.
Unbelievable show. Would of seen each of these bands separately. Having them play together all in one night was truly amazing. Wicked-awesome.
Second time i have been able to watch this band and for the second time i was blown away. IMO this is the metal band to see on the planet right now. Great energy, great set list, great interaction, and as usual great musicians.
Best show I've ever been to...Lamb of God set list was amazing from song 1 to 14
I had so much fun this night. I brought along a friend, also a Lamb of God lover. We enjoyed ourselves so much! The energy was crazy! I loved the interaction with the crowd. The other bands were great too! Again lots of energy interaction. Hopefully we Calagarians showed them a good night! I would defiantly say its been one of my best nights for a loooong time.
First of all, the sound from all three acts was awesome. Never seen any of the bands perform live before, and it was just an awesome show. Slowly regaining my hearing! Good job by security, and how everything was set up (beer section, benches).
Well that was a crazy awesome Lamb of God concert...I'm pretty sure I was the only +50 year old in the mosh pit! Getting slammed around like a pinball for an hour and a half was a unique experience and something that I never thought I would ever do! My ears hurt from the music. My forehead hurts (I think I was elbowed by someone) and my right butt cheek hurts (perhaps I was kicked by someone?). I can stroke that one off of my bucket list!
Clutch was KILLER!!! Lamb of God super tight!!! Beer flowed like mud:(
Awesome show! One of the best shows to see live! Lamb of God is amazing to see. Lots of energy.
Great energy, great show!! He sounded amazing as always. Sound was great, band was perfect!
Hold smokes, LOG knocked it out of the park... Randy has so much energy and kept the crowd in it all night long!
Insane show. Randy Blythes energy is through the roof. One of the best energetic live bands I've ever seen
IT was my 4th time seeing Lamb of God, but my first seeing the other three bands, and they were all fantastic! Loved seeing Testament in their later years, and Killswitch Engage put on a hell of a show! Huntress definitely did a great job of putting their name out there as well. Impressive!
was a great show, i would have rated five stars if all of the bands had shown up
The sound was amazing, the bands sounded excellent, Huntress was even better live than recorded and they all had amazing stage set ups! I would 100% go again any day! Lamb of god, who I specifically went to see, absolutely blew me away!
Missed the first band…. and as usual testaments live sound was terrible (I've seen them 2 times before) but killswitch engage had awesome mix and was killer to see live they had high energy and excellent stage presence. of course the real reason to go was Lamb Of God, they have an amazing sound quality , a stage presence second only to iron maiden, and the playing was so tight and in sync for the whole shops these guys are professional all the way! i would go see this show again in a heart beat!.
I had a blast good show nice a loud! I can't wait until they come back again.
