Lamb of God just hit us with their 10th studio album Into Oblivion, which came out last Friday (March 13). They’re making it rain gifts on us, because today they released a music video for one of the album’s singles “St. Catherine’s Wheel.” You can watch it below.
LoB frontman Randy Blythe spoke on the message behind the song and its message:
“The last line of ‘St. Catherine’s Wheel’ is ‘these savage days can’t break us’ and I use the term ‘us’ very specifically… I think community is going to become incredibly valuable in the next few years.”
The video for “St. Catherine’s Wheel” was directed by Meriel O’Connell, while Into Oblivion itself was produced and mixed by one of the band’s longtime collaborators Josh Wilbur. Recording the album was a road trip of a process of sorts, since the drums were tracked in the band’s hometown of Richmond, Virginia, the guitars and bass were recorded at guitarist Mark Morton’s home studio, and Blythe recorded his vocals at an iconic location—Total Access studio in Redondo Beach, California (where legendary albums by bands like Black Flag, Decendents, and Hüsker Dü were recorded).
On top of all that, Lamb of God will start their tour with Kublai Khan TX, Fit For An Autopsy, and Sanguisugabogg tomorrow in National Harbor, MD at The Theater MGM National Harbor.
Into Oblivion is out now on multiple formats, including various vinyl variants, as well as a collectible CD with a limited-edition zine that features album art sketches, handwritten lyrics and never-before-seen studio photos inside.
Like I said above, Lamb of God really knows how to make it rain gifts.
