LAMB OF GOD is celebrating the release of the live edition of last year’s critically acclaimed self-titled album with a new lyric video for the bonus track ‘Hyperthermic/Accelerate.’
Available today via Nuclear Blast Records, “Lamb Of God, Live At Richmond, VA” includes a live CD and DVD which features the first of LAMB OF GOD’s two ultra-successful live stream events from September 2020, in which the band performed ‘Lamb Of God’ in full, plus an encore of four songs including “Ruin,” “Contractor,” “512,” and the debut live performance of “The Death Of Us,” a newer song the band wrote and recorded in quarantine for the Bill & Ted Face The Music movie and soundtrack. The DVD includes a new director’s cut with bonus material.
The first single from the set, the bonus track “Ghost Shaped People,” has spent five consecutive weeks at #1 on the Metal Contraband metal radio chart.
Originally released June 19 of last year, LAMB OF GOD’s first new album in five years was met with universal acclaim – not only among major rock journalists, but with all strata of metal fans around the world.
But critics, media and the industry aside, perhaps the most telling statistic is the year-end US Metal Radio chart, where the new album dominated at #1 by a massive margin (over 2,000 more spins than the album at #2). Lamb Of God spent nine weeks in the #1 spot and never left the top 10 since debuting on the chart in February. Metal Radio is the lifeblood of the US metal world, largely staffed by college students and regional tastemakers, playing the music that they know their local metal fans want to hear.
LAMB OF GOD eagerly awaits their return to the road to support ‘Lamb of God’. Their headline tour in the UK and co-headline tour with Kreator in Europe will take place in November and December 2021. Tickets for both tours are on-sale at lamb-of-god.com/tour.
