LAMB OF GOD Is Definitely Working On A New Album

It appears as though it is time to get unreasonably excited about new Lamb of God material. The group recently made a band Instagram account, separate from members' accounts, and have posted one photo to it. That photo being… THIS!

Technically this would be the group's seventh record considering Burn the Priest was initially released under the Burn the Priest name. So that puts Lamb of God at seven records, and I can read Roman numerals, so the process of deduction has led me to believe that this is the first of many teasers we will be seeing regarding a new record! No word on if this is a picture from the studio, or the group is just writing. Frontman Randy Blythe also confirmed the band is working on new material, but he didn't want to say much…

Most of you know I don't ever talk about my day job here- it's not me being a dick, or snotty- in fact I interact with fans here quite often & openly discuss just about everything under the sun EXCEPT my band. This is for two reasons: #1. Talking about my band is boring as hell for me. Imagine talking about your job ALL THE TIME. I know people who are not in bands who talk about nothing but their job ALL THE TIME, & it makes me want to tear my hair out listening to them- SHUT UP ABOUT WORK. IT'S JUST WORK. LET'S TALK ABOUT LIFE, and, #2. In showing different aspects of my life & what I am interested in OTHER THAN BEING A BAND DUDE, I am trying to demystify the whole "rockstar" thing, because it is BULLSHIT. No one, no matter how hard they try to portray themselves as some sort of rockstar, is ANYTHING other than a HUMAN BEING. The rockstar crap just means you have a SOMETIMES interesting job (& I do stress the "sometimes" aspect strongly, because a lot of the time being in a band is boring as hell). So this is not a "lamb of god" account, I don't post lamb of god photos or talk about my band here, & I ain't about to start. HOWEVER… there is a lamb of god Instagram account now, and it is an official one: @lambofgod. So anyone with band questions or wanting to see band stuff- GO THERE & post away to your heart's content. Someone (& it's not me putting up posts- that is the truth) has started posting new stuff there starting today, or so I am told via the band grapevine. Hmmmmmm……
