Lamb Of God has announced their new record Omens due out on October 7. The record was produced by Josh Wilbur (Korn, Megadeth), and the first single "Nevermore" will drop this coming Friday, June 7. Omens was recorded at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles, CA.
"The inner workings of the band have never been better,” said guitarist Mark Morton. “You can hear it in Omens. You can see it in our performances, and if you're around us for five minutes, you can feel it."
"The world is crazy and keeps changing. Omens is a reaction to the state of the world,” added vocalist Randall Blythe. "It’s a very pissed-off record. It is extremely pissed-off.”
In addition to the announcement of Omens, Lamb Of God will also hit the road this September with Killswitch Engage and openers Baroness, Motionless In White, Spiritbox, Animals As Leaders, Suicide Silence, and Fit For An Autopsy (depending on which date you go to).

"Two decades ago, Lamb Of God, along with Killswitch Engage, were a part of a new wave of American heavy metal music," said Morton. "Our scene grew from a small, loosely connected network of underground shows in basements and warehouses, into a global phenomenon that helped define an entire generation of modern heavy metal.
"We are thrilled to announce The Omens Tour, which celebrates not only the perseverance and impact of that original movement, but also the creativity and originality of the bands that it influenced. Heavy metal is alive and well. The Omens Tour proudly showcases the depth and diversity of our scene. This is not a tour to miss."
