Lamb of God Announce New Album Into Oblivion, Unleash Title Track

"The band has also offered up the title track, which serves as the LP's opening song. Laced with chugging riffs, mosh-inducing breakdowns, and eerie horror-soundtrack overtones, the three-minute-forty-second track is a sufficiently brutal way to kick things off - and introduce the core themes behind the album and its title, Into Oblivion. "Because that's where we're heading," stated vocalist Randy Blythe of the album's title."

""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," guitarist Mark Morton said. "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.""

"Into Oblivion was produced and mixed by longtime studio collaborator Josh Wilbur across multiple locations tied closely to the band's identity. Drums were tracked in Lamb of God's home city of Richmond, Virginia, with guitars and bass recorded at Morton's home studio. Blythe recorded his vocals at the legendary Total Access studio in Redondo Beach, California, the locale of seminal punk recordings by Black Flag, Hüsker Dü, and Descendents"

Into Oblivion arrives March 13 as Lamb of God's first album in four years, opening with a title track built from chugging riffs, mosh-inducing breakdowns, and eerie horror-soundtrack overtones. The album frames a trajectory toward oblivion, describing the ongoing and rapid breakdown of the social contract and shifting norms in America. Two previously released singles, "Sepsis" and "Parasocial Christ," appear on the tracklist, each showcasing different subgenre influences—sludge, thrash/groove, and tech-leaning metalcore. Produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur, recordings occurred across sites tied to the band's identity: drums in Richmond, guitars and bass at Morton's home studio, and vocals at Total Access in Redondo Beach. Creative freedom and independence from trends underscore the record's approach.
