LAMB OF GOD’s critically-acclaimed new album, “Into Oblivion”, is out now via Century Media Records. The Richmond-born band’s tenth studio album sees them embracing their roots while simultaneously showcasing why they are one of modern metal’s most influential forces.
To celebrate last week’s release, the band have dropped a video for ‘St. Catherine’s Wheel’. The clip, directed by Meriel O’Connell, arrives as the band prepares to bring songs from the newly released album to stages across North America.
In a recent interview with Forbes, vocalist Randy Blythe reflected on the message behind the song and the importance of community:
“The last line of ‘St. Catherine’s Wheel’ is ‘these savage days can’t break us’ and I use the term ‘us’ very specifically… I think community is going to become incredibly valuable in the next few years.

“Into Oblivion”, LAMB OF GOD‘s tenth studio album, arrived last week to widespread acclaim. In the lead-up to the release, the band appeared on the covers of Metal Hammer, Loudwire, and Kerrang!, with critics praising the album’s intensity and relevance. The Associated Press featured the album in their weekly highlights, calling it “10 tracks of ferocity,” while Brooklyn Vegan noted that “the band spends these 10 songs reminding the world that their reign as New Wave of American Heavy Metal giants is far from over,” and SPIN said the band is “channeling America’s unraveling into a ferocious new album.”
In the months leading up to the album’s release, the metal veterans released a handful of blistering singles that offered listeners a taste of the album’s range. ‘Sepsis‘, the band’s first new song since 2022, also paid homage to the early ‘90s Richmond underground, with Consequence noting the song’s fresh approach, saying “Morton’s riffs are bruising at this slower pace,” and adding that Blythe bellows “like a heavy metal Nick Cave.” ‘Parasocial Christ‘ followed, evoking classic LAMB OF GOD with a three-minute onslaught that Revolver dubbed an “anti-tech thrasher.” It was the title track, ‘Into Oblivion‘, which Metal Hammer deemed “ferocious,” while Brooklyn Vegan called it “as much of a gut-punch as you’d hope for from LOG.” Most recently came ‘Blunt Force Blues‘, a track Rock Sound dubbed “punishing.”
Produced and mixed by longtime studio collaborator Josh Wilbur, “Into Oblivion” was recorded across multiple locations tied closely to the band’s identity. Drums were tracked in Richmond, Va., with guitars and bass recorded at Morton’s home studio. Blythe recorded his vocals at the legendary Total Access studio in Redondo Beach, Calif., the birthplace of seminal punk records by Black Flag, Hüsker Dü, and Descendents.
The album is available on a variety of physical formats, including multiple vinyl variants, a collectible Into Oblivion CD with a limited-edition companion zine featuring album art sketches, handwritten lyrics and never-before-seen studio photos.
