Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe feels disgusted by the direction the United States is headed in, so he titled the band’s upcoming album, Into Oblivion. “That’s where we’re heading,” he said in a statement.
He says the LP, due March 17, “is about the ongoing and rapid breakdown of the social contract, particularly here in America,” adding, “Things are acceptable now that would’ve horrified people just 20 years ago.” He also wrote a song about it.
The album’s title track, released with a dimly lit music video (to match Blythe’s dimly lit Weltanschauung) on Thursday, finds Blythe declaring himself “the bringer of the truth from which you run into oblivion.” And in another lyric, he proclaims, “In an age of conspiracy/I am the face of your tyranny.” His bandmates, naturally, summon apocalyptic cacophonies of gut-rattling guitar-riff fuselage and pummeling drumming.
