Lamb Of God: Neues Album erscheint nun später als geplant

In gut zwei Wochen hätte uns eigentlich das neue self-titled Album von Lamb Of God erreichen sollen. Da bereits vorbestellte Alben wegen der Coronakrise nicht ausgeliefert werden können, verschiebt die Kombo um Frontmann Randy Blythe die Release nun.

An update from Lamb of God: Regrettably, we have to announce that the release date for our upcoming self-titled album is being moved five weeks, to ‪June 19th.‬ We're in extraordinary times due to the current global reality and the delay of shipments of all-but essential goods needed in the fight against COVID-19. After talks with our labels, there is no other option than to delay the release so that fans who pre-ordered the album can receive the record they paid for. We appreciate your patience during these times – a global pandemic is not something people in the music industry usually take into account when scheduling album releases, but as you know, this thing has affected everyone across the board, and we are no exception. We will, however, be releasing a new song, "New Colossal Hate", ‪this Thursday, April 23rd‬ and plan to release a 4th song from the album before the full album is released in June. Thank you for your understanding. Wash your damn hands, let us know what you think of the new tunes, and see you on the road sometime!

Auch die Co-Headliner-Tour mit Kreator musste wegen der Coronakrise bereits verschoben werden.

Als kleinen Trost stellt die Kombo wenigstens einen neuen Song in Aussicht.

Bereits am kommenden Donnerstag, den 23. April erreicht uns eine neue Single namens „New Colossal Hate“. Nach „Checkmake“ und „Memento Mori“ ist das der dritte Vorgeschmack auf die neue Scheibe.

Wir freuen uns darauf!

Zuletzt veröffentlichten Lamb Of God als Burn The Priest 2018 die Scheibe „Legion: XX“. Unter dem „normalen“ Bandnamen erschien zuletzt 2015 „VII: Sturm und Drang“.
