“The world is crazy and it keeps changing. Omens is a reaction to the state of the world. It’s a very angry album,” says vocalist Randy Blythe. “Extremely angry.”

“Two decades ago, Lamb of God, along with Killswitch Engage, were part of a new wave of American heavy metal,” says guitarist Mark Morton . “Our scene grew from something small, loosely connected to underground shows in basements and warehouses, into a global phenomenon that helped define an entire generation of modern heavy metal.”
“We are excited to announce the Omens Tour , which celebrates not only the perseverance and impact of that original movement, but also the creativity and originality of the bands it influenced. Heavy metal is alive and well. The Omens Tour proudly showcases the depth and diversity of our scene. This is not a tour to be missed.”
