With the anticipation for Lamb Of God's new record building and building, the band have unveiled another new track, this time featuring a very special guest-spot from legendary Testament vocalist Chuck Billy!
Commenting on the lyrical themes on the new track, Routes, Randy Blythe noted "I went to Standing Rock because I had heard reports of violence committed on the peaceful protesters there by both state law enforcement and private security contractors, and this violence was not reported in mainstream media for the most part. I went to bring supplies and support these people, who were trying to protect their water, and thereby protect everyone, as everything in the natural world is protected.
I was there a week, made some great friends, and learned a lot. It was a very profound experience in my life, and I knew one day I would write a song about it."
Adding to this, Chuck Billy commented, "It was a great honour as a proud Pomo Native American to be asked by Lamb of God to do some guest vocals on this song. The No DAPL movement by the indigenous people of this country was a historic event. Being able to lend my voice to represent the Native American people complimenting Randy's storytelling and lyrics is something really special to me. I'm glad this movement was put in a musical message, and I am extremely happy to have been a part of it."
Lamb Of God's new self-titled album is set for release on 19th June via Nuclear Blast. You can pre-order various packages here - https://media.nuclearblast.de/shoplanding/2020/LambOfGod/lamb-of-god.html
