“Two decades ago, Lamb of God, along with Killswitch Engage, were a part of a new wave of American heavy metal music,” Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton said. “Our scene grew from a small, loosely connected network of underground shows in basements and warehouses, into a global phenomenon that helped define an entire generation of modern heavy metal. We are thrilled to announce The Omens Tour, which celebrates not only the perseverance and impact of that original movement, but also the creativity and originality of the bands that it influenced. Heavy metal is alive and well.
“‘The Omens Tour’ proudly showcases the depth and diversity of our scene. This is not a tour to miss.”
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 its angriest album yet.
“The world is crazy and keeps changing. ‘Omens’ is a reaction to the state of the world,” vocalist D. Randall Blythe said. “It’s a very pissed-off record.” He paused for emphasis. “It is extremely pissed-off.”
The band tracked live in the room together at Henson Recording Studios (formerly A&M Studios) in Los Angeles, California, a location that birthed classics from The Doors, Pink Floyd, Ramones and Soundgarden, among others. It was produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur (Korn, Megadeth).
“The inner workings of the band have never been better,” Morton said. “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.”
