The release date of Lamb Of God’s upcoming self-titled album may have been pushed back until June 19th, but it isn’t stopping the band from releasing new music. “New Colossal Hate” is the third single off of their forthcoming album and can be heard below.
Guitarist Willie Adler said that “New Colossal Hate” came out of their first writing session in Maine:
“Mark [Morton], our producer Josh Wilbur and I were at a super cool studio in South Windham called Halo, an absolutely beautiful spot run by some of the best people I’ve ever met. I’m pretty sure ‘New Colossal Hate’ grew from a few different demos I had. You know, like parts of car. However, as it started to take shape, it quickly became my favorite song on the record. Please enjoy this banger of a tune. It holds a very special place in my heart.”
Last week, the band said the delay of their upcoming album is “due to the current global reality and the delay of shipments of all-but essential goods needed in the fight against COVID-19”, adding:
“After talks with our labels, there is no other option than to delay the release so that fans who pre-ordered the album can receive the record they paid for.
“We appreciate your patience during these times — a global pandemic is not something people in the music industry usually take into account when scheduling album releases, but as you know, this thing has affected everyone across the board, and we are no exception. We will, however, be releasing a new song, ‘New Colossal Hate’, this Thursday, April 23rd and plan to release a 4th song from the album before the full album is released in June.
“Thank you for your understanding.
“Wash your damn hands, let us know what you think of the new tunes, and see you on the road sometime!”
Lamb of God will be at the Resch Center on October 31st with Megadeth, Trivium, and In Flames.
