Lamb Of God Vii: Sturm And Drang (2015) [deluxe Edition]

The seventh studio album (eighth if you count the group's 1999 debut under the Burn the Priest moniker), Sturm und Drang arrives at the end of a tumultuous three-year period for the veteran metal outfit that saw frontman Randy Blythe arrested, imprisoned, and ultimately exonerated for charges stemming from the onstage death of a fan at a 2010 Lamb of God show in the Czech Republic. The financial strain nearly decimated the band, who went on hiatus at the beginning of 2014, but what a difference a year makes…

Richmond, Virginia metallers LAMB OF GOD will release their new album, "VII: Sturm Und Drang", in July via via Epic in the U.S. and Nuclear Blast Entertainment, with whom the band signed a record deal for all territories outside of North America. The CD was 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, California and Suburban Soul Studios in Torrance, California.

For the first time in nearly five years, Virginia-based metal outfit Lamb of God is set to release a brand-new album. The album will serve as Lamb of God’s eighth studio effort overall and its first since 2015’s critically acclaimed VII: Sturm und Drang.

Lamb of God is the upcoming tenth studio album by American heavy metal band Lamb of God. The album was originally planned to be released on May 8, 2020, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, it will not be released until June 19. Lamb of God will be the first studio album of all-new material by the band since 2015's VII: Sturm und Drang, making it the longest gap between their albums, and the first to feature Art Cruz as the replacement of original drummer Chris Adler, who left Lamb of God in July 2019.

The veteran New Wave of American Heavy Metal architects deliver an antagonistic set of world-weary might on their ninth full-length effort. Flush with neck-snapping velocity and chunky, Pantera-worthy riffage, the ten-song set is a worthy successor to Lamb of God's eponymous, Billboard-topping 2020 offering. Produced by longtime co-conspirator Josh Wilbur (Korn, Megadeth), the reliably uncompromising Omens includes some of the band's heaviest and most apoplectic works to date, with highlights arriving via the pummeling "Nevermore" and "Greyscale," and the unrelenting title cut.
