LAMB OF GOD Announce New Album Into Oblivion, Drop Title Track And Video

Richmond, Virginia metal heavyweights LAMB OF GOD have announced the release of their tenth studio album, Into Oblivion, due out March 13 via Epic Records. The record marks the band’s first full-length release in four years and finds the longtime metal titans embracing their status as veterans with nothing left to prove.

To coincide with the announcement, LAMB OF GOD have unveiled the album’s punishing title track, “Into Oblivion,” along with an official music video directed by Tom Flynn and Mike Watts. The song delivers the band’s trademark groove-driven aggression, paired with psychologically charged and socially reflective lyrics that continue vocalist Randy Blythe’s uncompromising approach.

Speaking about the creative mindset behind the album, guitarist Mark Morton said the band felt free from outside pressure while writing the material. “For me, the album is about having the space to breathe creatively and not feeling like we have to keep up with any trend or expectation,” Morton explained. “It feels nice to be untethered from any agenda beyond rallying around the notion of, ‘Let’s just make music that we think is cool,’ which is really where it all started.”

Blythe was more blunt when discussing the album’s title and themes. “Because that’s where we’re heading,” he said of Into Oblivion. “In general, the album is about the ongoing and rapid breakdown of the social contract, particularly here in America. Things are acceptable now that would’ve horrified people just 20 years ago.”

In the lead-up to today’s announcement, LAMB OF GOD released two new tracks that previewed the album’s scope. “Sepsis,” the band’s first new song since 2022, paid tribute to the early ’90s Richmond underground scene that helped shape their sound. Consequence praised the track’s slower, crushing pace, noting that Morton’s riffs were “bruising,” while comparing Blythe’s vocal delivery to “a heavy metal Nick Cave.” The follow-up single, “Parasocial Christ,” leaned into classic LAMB OF GOD territory, earning Revolver’s description as an “anti-tech thrasher.”

Into Oblivion was produced and mixed by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur and recorded across several locations tied closely to the band’s history. Drums were tracked in Richmond, Virginia, guitars and bass were recorded at Morton’s home studio, and Blythe laid down his vocals at the legendary Total Access Studio in Redondo Beach, California — known for classic recordings by BLACK FLAG, HÜSKER DÜ, and DESCENDENTS.

Album pre-orders are available now, including multiple limited-edition vinyl variants and signed copies. An unannounced first pressing was quietly posted on the band’s website earlier this week and sold out immediately.

In support of the album, LAMB OF GOD will kick off the North American Into Oblivion Tour on March 17.
