LAMB OF GOD Releases New Live Video for “Resurrection Man” from Lamb Of God: Live From Richmond, VA
Lamb Of God: Live From Richmond, VA Available on Vinyl and as Part of Deluxe Version of Critically Acclaimed Self-Titled Album
LAMB OF GOD has released a new video, “Resurrection Man (Live),” from the Lamb Of God: Live From Richmond, VA component of their three-disc deluxe version of last year’s critically acclaimed self-titled album.
“‘Resurrection Man’ has been a fun song to watch the fan reaction to and a fun one to play live for the first time,” says guitarist Mark Morton. “We wrote the music for that song quickly and spontaneously in pretty much an afternoon in our jam room. Willie freestyled the opening riff and we built from there. Sometimes it’s cool to just let stuff flow without overthinking things to death. I feel like ‘Resurrection Man’ is a great example of that.”
Released Friday via Epic Records, Lamb Of God (Deluxe Version) includes the full Lamb Of God record with two bonus tracks and a live version of the album, along with a DVD performance of Lamb Of God.
The live CD and DVD portion of the deluxe edition features the first of LAMB OF GOD‘s two ultra-successful live stream events from September 2020, in which the band performed Lamb Of God in full, plus an encore of four songs including “Ruin,” “Contractor,” “512,” and the debut live performance of “The Death Of Us,” a newer song the band wrote and recorded in quarantine for the Bill & Ted Face The Music movie and soundtrack. The DVD includes a new director’s cut with bonus material. Digital copies contain only Disc 1 and Disc 2. Lamb Of God (Deluxe Version) is available at https://lambofgod.lnk.to/deluxe. A separate vinyl edition of Lamb Of God: Live From Richmond, VA is be available. The first single from the set, the bonus track “Ghost Shaped People,” has spent five consecutive weeks at #1 on the Metal Contraband metal radio chart.
Originally released June 19 of last year, LAMB OF GOD’s first new album in five years was met with universal acclaim – not only among major rock journalists, but with all strata of metal fans around the world.
But critics, media and the industry aside, perhaps the most telling statistic is the year-end US Metal Radio chart, where the new album dominated at #1 by a massive margin (over 2,000 more spins than the album at #2). Lamb Of God spent nine weeks in the #1 spot and never left the top 10 since debuting on the chart in February. Metal Radio is the lifeblood of the US metal world, largely staffed by college students and regional tastemakers, playing the music that they know their local metal fans want to hear.
LAMB OF GOD’s self- titled album reached the coveted #1 spot on Consequence of Sound’s Top 30 Metal + Hard Rock Albums of 2020, stating, “Along with bringing in the New Wave of American Heavy Metal, LAMB OF GOD have been one of music’s most important acts over the past 20 years. From their phenomenal instrumentation to the potency of their sociopolitical lyricism, LAMB OF GOD remain titans of the genre, continuing to craft remarkable works of thrilling and captivating adrenaline… also proves to be a profound work of heavy metal… perhaps the most important metal album of 2020. It’s not only the album of LAMB OF GOD’s career, but the heavy album of the year.”
At iTunes, LAMB OF GOD has landed at number one on the Overall, Rock and Metal iTunes album chart upon release.
LAMB OF GOD eagerly awaits their return to the road to support Lamb of God. Their North American co-headline tour with Megadeth and support from Trivium and In Flames has been rescheduled to begin in July 2021 and their headline tour in the UK and co-headline tour with Kreator in Europe will take place in November and December 2021. Tickets for both tours are on-sale at lamb-of-god.com/tour.
