Pandora’s Metalverse Station, which was launched just a few months ago as the hardest and heaviest place on the platform, is already becoming a favorite for hard rock and metal icons. When the station launched, Dave Mustaine stopped by to talk about Megadeth’s newest album. And more recently Lamb Of God’s Randy Blythe came by to host another session of “Tales From The Metalverse.”
In this edition of “Tales From The Metalverse,” Blythe talks about his wilder days when he would often ride on other bands’ buses, usually when they were night owls like he was. Blythe recounts his exploits with Children Of Bodom and the US Border Patrol, and his “Hatebreed holidays,” when he would ride on the band’s bus between cities. After borrowing Hatebreed’s tour manager’s four-wheeler, he also had to outrun the local police.
Metalverse on Pandora is available here.
Lamb Of God have released a studio session video for "Vanishing", featured on the band's new album, Omens, out now via Nuclear Blast Records, and available for download and streaming as well as on CD, Vinyl and Cassette, here. Watch the new clip below:
Produced by long-time collaborator Josh Wilbur (Korn, Megadeth), Omens is a vicious new testament for the Richmond, Virginia-based band, a furious entry in their beloved catalogue. "The world is crazy and keeps changing. Omens is a reaction to the state of the world,” Blythe explains. "It’s a very pissed-off record.” He pauses for emphasis. “It is extremely pissed-off.”
The New Wave Of American Heavy Metal architects tracked Omens at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California, a location that birthed classics from The Doors, The Ramones, and Soundgarden, among others. "The inner workings of the band have never been better,” explains 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."
