Lamb of God have revealed that their recently announced new album “VII: Sturm Und Drang” will be released on July 24.
Drummer Chris Adler had the following to say:
“Lots going on around here these days! I’ve returned from a killer session with Megadethand am straight back to work with Lamb of God. Today we are working on a music video to accompany the new record and gearing up to leave next week for our European run. Feeling very lucky to have so many amazing opportunities. There are lots of shows coming up and of course, the album release is right around the corner now. I feel very confident in the record – it’s sincere and it’s mean.
More will be revealed soon but I can tell you that I’m currently working very hard trying to figure out how to be in 2 places at the same time. Anyone that’s been paying attention can follow that…
Stay metal! ~Chris“
Lamb Of God have announced they will be releasing their new album “VII: Sturm Und Drang” through Nuclear Blast Entertainment this July, pre orders for which can be found at this location.
Drummer Chris Adler had the following to say:
“Finally joining forces with Nuclear Blast Entertainment outside of North America is something Lamb Of God is excited to finally see happen. We first met back in 1997 – almost signed then, but have been flirting ever since! It’s now time for a new chapter for us to connecting with our friends and fans overseas, which is long overdue! See you all very soon – with a nasty new album!”
The band have also release their new track “Still Echoes” from the new album which can be found at http://www.lambofgodvii.com/
Vocalist Randy Blythe mentioned the following regarding the track and the album:
“There was a guillotine right down the hall from me, from when the Nazis had the prison. From 1943 to 1945 they executed almost 2,000 people by the guillotine, because it was cheaper than shooting and quicker than hanging.”
“People shouldn’t expect a prison record. But I write about things that affect me very deeply. And going to prison in a foreign country and being charged with manslaughter will affect you – trust me – very deeply.”

It has been confirmed that Lamb Of God drummer Chris Adler has joined metal giants Megadeth for their upcoming studio recording.
Check out the comments from members of Megadeth and Adler below:
“Dave Mustaine, the creative driving force behind original American metal and hard rock crossover giants Megadeth, and Chris Adler, drummer for the leaders of modern American heavy metal Lamb Of God, will join original bassist David Ellefson in the creation of Megadeth‘s anticipated forthcoming album. Adler will be appearing as a guest on the album and contributing his thundering, hard-hitting, and technically precise style and skill, adding new blood and drive into the mix while staying true to Megadeth‘s roots.
Dave Mustaine comments, “Chris is a tremendous talent, and an amazing person. He is going to bring a new level of excitement and energy to Megadeth that the fans are going to lose their minds over. I have nothing but respect for my previous drummers, but this is going to absolutely KILL! Back in 1989, Megadeth originally worked as a three piece – guitar, bass and drums – when we laid down the framework to our Grammy nominated platinum album ‘Rust In Peace.’ I want to thank the other members of LOG for allowing this opportunity to take place for all of us in the metal community.”
David Ellefson adds, “Chris has been an endearing friend to us in Megadeth for many years now, and he truly appreciates our music and its legacy. His drumming has forged such an innovative and ferocious path for metal music and I’m very proud that he is anchoring our rhythm section with us on this new album. I can clearly see a new dawn of ‘utmost heaviness’ unfolding in Megadeth‘s next chapter.”
Chris Adler offers, “Megadeth was the game changer for me. Growing up, there was no other band that meant as much to my musical interest and direction. There is no doubt I would not be doing what I have been doing for the past three decades had I not stumbled across ‘Killing Is My Business‘ and the bible of all metal, ‘Peace Sells‘ in my formative years.”
“About 10 years ago, Lamb Of God toured with Megadeth and I was able to share that story with Dave and David, and we have kept in touch ever since,” adds Adler. “When Dave called me a while ago and asked if I was interested in making a thrash metal album with him, I felt like I must’ve been on a hidden camera show. “I was trying to play it cool, but I was speechless other than YES! Once I called my wife and my band guys to let everyone know, I had some time to really think about it and how I can best fit into this situation. I’m coming into this on fire. There is an incredible amount of respect, but the goal here is to make the very best thrash album we can – not just throw names in the CD booklet or be a yes man. Together, I believe we can do something very special! Get ready for a very exciting chapter in the Megadeth legacy.”
