American heavy rock band Lamb of God have just revealed a fourth track from their upcoming “VII: Sturm Und Drang” album, hitting stores and digital retailers on July 24, 2015. The track, “Erase This,” is available for streaming here.
Media outlets said this about the upcoming album:
“Although there’s plenty of Lamb of God’s trademark guitar chug and Olympics-level drumming, the eerier moments (see the jailhouse tale “512”) and unexpected guests (including members of Deftones and the Dillinger Escape Plan) show a group that’s thirsty to evolve beyond its own established patterns.” – Kory Grow, Rolling Stone
“”VII: Sturm und Drang”, for all of its polish and bows to melody, is one of the fiercest albums they’ve ever laid down… This album is a full-on purge and if you can relate, “VII: Sturm und Drang” will get you off in more ways than one.” – Ray Van Horn Jr., Blabbermouth.net
“Lamb of God’s return with VII: Sturm und Drang [Epic Records] is a flawless fire and brimstone blast. This is heavy music forged in flames of raw emotion and experience in the most unbridled manner. The group… carve out a rapturously heavy and unsettlingly hypnotic space that’s easy to fall into. This is the band’s most simultaneously atomic and atmospheric body of work to date.” – Rick Florino, ArtistDirect.com
“The band’s newest work finds them continuing to find the fine balance between sinister thrash and metallic catchiness on standout tracks like “Overlord” and “Erase This”.” – Jason Roche, OC Weekly
Lamb of God’s last album, the 2012 Grammy-nominated Resolution, debuted at #3 on the US Billboard Top 200, #1 on the US Top Hard Rock and Rock Album charts, #2 on the Canadian albums chart, and #3 on the Australian albums chart.
