The mighty Lamb of God are back — and they’ve come swinging with “Sepsis”, a vicious new single that slices through the silence since their 2022 record Omens. Out now via Epic Records, the track is a grimy, teeth-gritting reminder that these Richmond metal titans still rule the pit.
Produced by the band’s longtime partner-in-chaos Josh Wilbur, “Sepsis” clocks in at three and a half minutes of slow-burning aggression and raw groove. The song arrives with an equally gritty lo-fi performance video, directed by Gianfranco Svagelj, filmed deep in the heart of Richmond’s underground — the city that birthed Lamb of God’s fury in the first place.
A Tribute to Richmond’s Underground Roots
Guitarist Mark Morton explains that “Sepsis” is a love letter to the local scene that shaped them:
“It’s a celebration of the underground Richmond bands we admired when we were forming Burn the Priest,” Morton says. “Bands like Breadwinner, Sliang Laos, and Ladyfinger—those were our heroes. This song is a direct line back to those basement days when we were writing our earliest material together.”
A Huge Year for Lamb of God
2025 has already been a landmark year for the band. They marked 25 years of their discography, tore through their hometown at the massive “Back to the Beginning” concert, dropped a crushing cover of Black Sabbath’s “Children of the Grave”, and stormed festivals like Inkcarceration and Louder Than Life.
They even headlined the opening season of Richmond’s brand-new Allianz Amphitheater — proving that after two and a half decades, they’re still on fire.
What’s Next? The Party Doesn’t Stop.
Before the year’s out, Lamb of God will hit a string of massive shows — including Aftershock, AMMA Championship Fest, and their own Headbangers Boat (Oct. 31 – Nov. 4). The four-day cruise from Miami to Cozumel is a headbanger’s paradise, stacked with performances by Clutch, Power Trip, Obituary, Fear Factory, The Black Dahlia Murder, and more — plus comedy sets, special guests, and enough riffs to sink the ship.
