LAMB OF GOD Teases New Song 'Memento Mori'

March 14, 2020

LAMB OF GOD is teasing a new song, "Memento Mori", via an Instagram Story filter. When fans open the "Lamb of God: Wake Up" filter on Instagram Stories, they can turn the sound on, face the camera to themselves (selfie mode),close their eyes and a clip of the intro to "Memento Mori" will play for 15 seconds while their eyes are closed.

"Memento Mori" is taken from LAMB OF GOD's upcoming self-titled album, which will be released on May 8 via Epic Records in the U.S. and Nuclear Blast Records in Europe. The follow-up to "VII: Sturm Und Drang" marks LAMB OF GOD's first recordings with Art Cruz, who joined the band last July as the replacement for the group's founding drummer, Chris Adler.

"Lamb Of God" was recorded with longtime producer Josh Wilbur (KORN, MEGADETH, GOJIRA, TRIVIUM) and includes special guest appearances by Jamey Jasta (HATEBREED) and Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT).

Regarding LAMB OF GOD's decision to make the new album a self-titled effort, singer Randy Blythe said: "Putting only our name on it is a statement. This is LAMB OF GOD. Here and now."
