Lamb of God have shared another piece of their upcoming album ‘Into Oblivion’, and it is further evidence that it will be a bludgeoning affair.
Titled ‘Blunt Force Blues’, it is a song that batters in name as well as nature. A blend of all of the spiralling riffs and guttural howls that have defined the band’s influential sound for the last two decades, it rolls back the years as much as it plants the fork firmly in the road in the modern day. A masterclass in mayhem, it further cements the band’s place as one of metal’s savage and sensational assets, still raising the bar for everyone else as if it’s second nature.
According to the band, they drew inspiration for the track from their experiences cutting their teeth in the local scene in Richmond, VA.
Vocalist Randy Blthye begins:
“We learned how to play by watching and hanging out with other local dudes. That’s what we aspired to do – keep up with good local bands. They were just as much of an influence on us as any of the bigger bands from different cities.”
Whilst guitarist Mark Morton had this to add on where it fits into the ethos of this new record:
“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. 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.”
‘Into Oblivion’ is set for release on March 13 via Century Media Records.
Here is the title track:
Lamb of God are set to headline the 25th anniversary edition of Bloodstock this Summer. They join the likes of Judas Priest, Bleed From Within, Of Mice & Men, Northlane, Fit For An Autopsy, Body Count, Graphic Nature, and so many more.

U.S. death Metal giants Incantation might just be ready to rechristen themselves In-CAN-tation, as they have announced a new food drive initiative as the band continues its leg of the “Praise the Beast North American tour” alongside fellow bruisers Belphegor, Hate and Narcotic Wasteland.
“As a musician, I have had times when things have been tight, including the last few years, so I know how difficult it is to sometimes choose between medical bills and paying for food or housing. I understand this is the life I chose and, in fact, I’m proud of it,” says longtime frontman John McEntee.
“The are others less fortunate who don’t even have the chance to afford food or shelter. So, I decided to have a food drive at the remaining shows on this tour and donate to the local food banks in the venues’ communities.”
The band requests that fans bring non-perishable food donations (cans, dry goods, etc.) at the door of the events each night.
“I know times are rough, and if you can’t bring anything, I totally understand. But if you can give, let’s do our part to help out our local communities,” McEntee offer. “We need local people in the cities where we are playing to provide us with contacts for local food banks, or even better, people willing to help us drop off the collected food after the show.”
The initiative was partly inspired by an issue earlier on the tour where in Incantation do not have access to venue hospitality each show, resulting in the members not having meals of their own for several nights.
“I know what it’s like, and I don’t want anybody on the face of the Earth to go through this,” McEntee continues. “We have had so many people reach out with help after I made my last post about our hospitality issues, and all of us in the band appreciate all the kind gestures. The more I thought about it, the more I realized there are people in much more dire situations. We will get through our own stuff, but we need to help others. We need to give back. If you are local to these cities and can help us transport the donations, please reach out!”
