Lamb of God have dropped their new single ‘Parasocial Christ,’ produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur, with its accompanying music video was directed by Jon Vulpine. Check out the video: HERE.
Vocalist Randy Blythe said of the latest track: “the Information Age has birthed the attention economy, an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars anchored in keeping eyeballs firmly glued to screens, thus generating ad revenue. Every second spent clicking and scrolling through the trivial and/or sordid details of other people’s lives, people that you will most likely never meet – celebrities, politicians, influencers – is another dollar in some already obscenely wealthy tech bro’s wallet. You are a product, and you are being sold in a marketplace you have no share in. The irony of you reading this via some social media platform or music news aggregator site is not lost on me; nevertheless I hope this song might make you consider who and what you give your attention to. F**k the clickbait, put down the phone and go live your life – it’s waiting for you out in what’s left of the real world.”
In addition, Lamb of God announced they will return to the road in 2026 for a North American trek, featuring support from Kublai Khan TX, Fit For An Autopsy, and Sanguisugabogg. Kicking-off March 17th in National Harbor, Maryland, the tour will make stops include Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, San Francisco, Austin, Nashville, and Brooklyn, among others through April 26th in Boston. Guitarist Mark Morton said: “We are beyond thrilled to announce the loudest, proudest, floor-shakin’-est, earth quakin’-est, ear-splittin’-est, mosh pittin’-est, undiluted, undisputed heaviest tour of the whole damn year. Is this the largest collection of riffs ever assembled under one roof? It would seem so. Lamb of God, Kublai Khan TX, Fit For An Autopsy, and Sanguisugabogg. Do not miss this sh*t.” Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.
Lamb of God previously dropped their first original, non-collaborative song in three years titled “Sepsis.” The song, produced by Josh Wilbur, comes alongside the official music video for the track, directed by Gianfranco Svagelj (check it out: HERE.)
“Sepsis” marks the first new Lamb of God track since the release of 2022’s Omens. The band also teamed-up with Mastodon last year on “Floods of Triton,” and more recently covered Black Sabbath’s “Children of the Grave. Morton shared that the song is “a celebration of the very underground local bands here in Richmond that we really admired when we were just forming Burn the Priest. Bands like Breadwinner, Sliang Laos, and Ladyfinger — though they never got widespread attention outside of Richmond, those were the bands we listened to all the time. The song references that stuff in a way that’s a direct line to where we were coming from when we were in the basement writing our earliest material together.” The band also dropped a video of the song’s live debut at Aftershock Festival, directed by Sam Shapiro and Kevin Garcia; take a look: HERE.
In additional Lamb of God news, the band also announced the return of their annual Headbangers Boat cruise, with the 2026 edition featuring special guests including Zakk Sabbath, The Dillinger Escape Plan, In Flames, GWAR, The Haunted, D.R.I., 200 Stab Wounds, X-Cops, Mark Morton, with more to be announced shortly.
