"So yes, I'm tired after 30 years of screaming about all of this, but I guess I'll just keep on screaming. What else am I supposed to do? If you are an artist like me, do not remain silent in the face of all this cruelty, inhumanity, and corruption. Use your voice. Do not be a coward, because while I do not know how long this regime will last, I do know that it will eventually end- all of them do. And know this: history will remember those who spoke and acted with moral clarity during these times, as well as those who plodded silently along with their heads bowed, hoping to reemerge once the coast was clear."
"Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe is calling on his fellow musicians and artists to speak out against the "cruelty, inhumanity, and corruption" that is taking place under the current Trump administration. After an extended break from social media, the metal singer posted a lengthy essay titled "All the horrors happening around us" on his Substack account. He noted that he's been speaking out against injustices since Lamb of God formed 30 years ago, including within the lyrics of the band's songs."
Randy Blythe urges musicians and artists to speak out against cruelty, inhumanity, and corruption associated with the Trump administration and to avoid silence or cowardice. He expresses exhaustion after 30 years of warning but commits to continue raising alarm through his platform and music. Lamb of God plans to release Into Oblivion on March 13, an album confronting injustices and the rapid breakdown of the social contract in America. Blythe frames current acceptances as behaviors that would have horrified people two decades ago. The band will promote the record with a forthcoming North American tour.
