LAMB OF GOD have released a music video for "Parasocial Christ," the third visual from their upcoming twelfth album "Into Oblivion," due March 13 via Epic Records. Directed by Wayne Isham — a veteran music video director whose credits include METALLICA, BON JOVI, and DEF LEPPARD — the video features the band performing in an abandoned industrial complex intercut with dystopian imagery that mirrors the track's biting social commentary on performative activism and the commodification of outrage in the digital age.
The track's aggressive groove metal attack is quintessential LAMB OF GOD: Mark Morton and Willie Adler's interlocking guitar work creates a wall of crushing riffs, while Art Cruz's drumming provides the kind of precision-engineered heaviness that has been the band's hallmark since their formation as BURN THE PRIEST in 1994. Vocalist Randy Blythe delivers lyrics that exemplify the album's themes of societal collapse and individual accountability, his trademark bark cutting through the mix with ferocious clarity.
"Into Oblivion" was produced by Josh Wilbur at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles — the same producer-studio combination that yielded the self-titled "Lamb of God" album in 2020 and "Omens" in 2022, both of which received critical acclaim. The band's North American tour with KUBLAI KHAN TX, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, and SANGUISUGABOGG launches March 17 in National Harbor, MD and runs through April 26 in Boston. Previous singles "Sepsis" and "Transmission" have already generated enormous momentum, with "Sepsis" shooting to the top of the U.S. metal charts. LAMB OF GOD are also confirmed for the Headbangers Boat cruise in October 2026.
