Lamb Of God continues to defy the conventional release schedule, unleashing a relentless stream of new material since the addition of drummer Art Cruz to the lineup. Breaking away from their previous three-to-four-year album pattern, the band, driven by a creative surge, treated fans to the self-titled album in 2020 and followed it up with the powerful “Omens” in 2022. But the burning question remains: What’s next for Lamb Of God?
Bassist John Campbell sheds light on the band’s unwavering commitment to maintaining their prolific output, even nine albums into their storied career. In a candid interview with the RRBG Podcast, Campbell dispels any notion of slowing down, emphasizing their dedication to the tried-and-true routine of album releases, extensive touring, brief respite, and then back to the studio grind.
“We’re gonna put out some records on the same rough schedule that we always do,” assures Campbell. “We put out a record, tour the shit out of it, take a little time back, start working on another one, record it, tour the shit out of it. So, yeah, there’s definitely — we are still alive and kicking, and there will be more records. In the next five years, there will definitely be a new Lamb Of God record. I don’t think I’m giving away any secrets with that.”
Contemplating the recording process for their future endeavors, Campbell reminisces about the live collaborative magic that birthed “Omens” at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles. Expressing a desire to revisit the iconic studio, he reflects, “I would love to [do it the same way again]. I’d love to go back to Henson Studios and do it too, ’cause that place was badass. But we’ll see.”
As the anticipation for Lamb Of God’s next sonic chapter builds, the band is set to hit the road alongside Mastodon this July and August. Their unique twist on the tour involves a full-album performance, with Lamb Of God delivering “Ashes Of The Wake” and Mastodon presenting “Leviathan.” The lineup, featuring Kerry King and Malevolence for most dates and Kerry King and Unearth for a few select shows, promises an unforgettable experience for metal enthusiasts.
The tour spans various cities, from the heart of Texas to the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, offering fans a chance to witness the metal legends in action. Secure your tickets and brace yourself for an immersive journey through the sonic landscapes of Lamb Of God and Mastodon.
