Lead guitarist Mark Morton expressed his gratitude, stating, “Lamb of God being invited to perform with Black Sabbath at their final show is one of the greatest honors of our career.” He further explained, “As an offering to the celebration, we’ve recorded our take on their classic ‘Children of the Grave,’ a protest song with lyrics that are as relevant today as they were in 1971 when the original was released.” Reflecting on Black Sabbath’s influence, Morton added, “Black Sabbath invented heavy metal and in doing so, they changed the world. This genre that they created brings immeasurable joy to fans all over the world. We are so grateful to have the heavy metal community to call our home, and so grateful to Black Sabbath for the gift of their music that they’ve given to all of us.”
