"We’re heading into oblivion...particularly here in America. Things are acceptable now that would’ve horrified people 20 years ago." One of the 21st century's best metal bands is back with a new album – listen to the ferocious new Lamb Of God single here

Lamb of God have announced details of their latest studio album, Into Oblivion, and have shared the record's title track as the first single.

The follow-up to 2022's Omens – produced by Josh Wilbur – will be released on March 13 through Century Media and Epic.

With the United States of America government appearing to completely spin off its moral axis in recent months, vocalist Randy Blythe is characteristically forthright as he reveals the meaning behind the album title and aggressive title track.

"Because that’s where we’re heading," Blythe says. "In general, the album is about the ongoing and rapid breakdown of the social contract, particularly here in America. Things are acceptable now that would’ve horrified people just 20 years ago.”

“For me, the album is about having the space to breathe creatively and not feeling like we have to keep up with any trend or expectation,” explains guitarist Mark Morton of the writing process for Into Oblivion. “It feels nice to be untethered from any agenda beyond rallying around the notion of, ‘Let's just make music that we think is cool,’ which is really where it all started.”
