Lamb of God
Watch and listen to “Omens,” the title track from Lamb of God’s forthcoming ninth album. The new single from the GRAMMY-nominated metal colossus is available everywhere for and streaming.
“I think a lot of the messes human beings find ourselves in could be very easily prevented simply by paying attention to obvious repeating patterns, both in our personal lives and in a broader socio-historical context,” says Lamb of God frontman D. Randall Blythe. “What some call ‘omens’ are really just manifestations of the fact that there is nothing new under the sun. It’s foolish to ignore this, but we all do it.”

Rig Time!
Vocalist/drummer Bryan W. Fleming:
The lyrics are extremely blunt and self-explanatory in this track. I have never been so open and vulnerable in a song. I started writing this in the middle of a state park after visiting an area near where my brother used to live when I was young. I had to stop and write these words down because it all flooded into me. I have been sober since birth, and this song is my promise to remain that way until the day I die. Addiction, violence, abuse and dysfunction was a major part of my family life growing up and I refuse to ever give in to it.
The deaths I mention are real, and the commitment I give is sincere. I never really understood why I was the odd person at parties as a teenager who refused to drink, but as I have gotten older, I have some understanding of it. I lived through what happens when you give addiction an open door to permeate. It damages those around you, and I won’t let that happen to those around me. I will remain clean.
