Lamb of God shares music video for “St. Catherine’s Wheel”
Lamb of God has recently dropped their highly anticipated tenth studio album, “Into Oblivion,” via Century Media Records. The iconic metal band from Richmond has managed to stay true to their roots while also proving why they are a force to be reckoned with in modern metal music.
One of the standout tracks from the album is “St. Catherine’s Wheel,” for which the band released a visually stunning music video directed by Meriel O’Connell. The release of this video coincided with the drop of the album and comes just in time for Lamb of God’s upcoming North American tour to showcase songs from “Into Oblivion.”
In a recent interview, vocalist Randy Blythe spoke about the significance of the song and highlighted the importance of community. According to Blythe, the song’s message of resilience and unity resonates during these challenging times. He mentioned, “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.”
Leading up to the album’s release, Lamb of God graced the covers of revered metal publications such as Metal Hammer, Loudwire, and Kerrang! Critics have lauded the album for its intensity and relevance, with the Associated Press describing it as “10 tracks of ferocity” and Brooklyn Vegan acknowledging the band’s ongoing dominance in the metal scene by saying, “their reign as New Wave of American Heavy Metal giants is far from over.”
Prior to the album’s launch, Lamb of God treated fans to a series of singles that showcased the album’s range. Tracks like “Sepis” and “Parasocial Christ” paid homage to the band’s Richmond roots while delivering fresh, hard-hitting sounds that set the stage for the full album’s release. These singles were met with critical acclaim, with reviewers praising the blistering riffs and Blythe’s powerful vocals.
“Into Oblivion” was produced and mixed by their longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur, with recording sessions taking place in locations deeply tied to the band’s history. Drums were recorded in Richmond, guitars and bass were tracked at guitarist Willie Adler’s home studio, and Blythe laid down his vocals at Total Access studio in California, a renowned location for seminal punk records.
The album is available in various physical formats, including vinyl variants and a limited-edition CD package featuring sketches, handwritten lyrics, and studio photos. Fans can purchase the album through the band’s official web store. With “Into Oblivion,” Lamb of God continues to solidify their position as heavy metal titans, delivering a ferocious and uncompromising musical experience that resonates with fans old and new.
