From L.S. Dunes and Lamb Of God to GEL and GWAR, here’s what went down at Chicago’s legendary annual takeover of all things punk, metal and alternative…
Lamb Of God are set to release a deluxe edition of their 2020 self-titled LP with a couple of fresh bonus tracks…
There's a bumper new Lamb Of God release on the way: a deluxe edition of last year's awesome self-titled record, along with a new live album, Live In Richmond, VA.
The former LP will include two bonus tracks – Ghost Shaped People and Hyperthermic / Accelerate – while the latter consists of the first of LoG's September 2020 livestreams, which was a performance of the self-titled album in full plus Ruin, Contractor, 512 and Bill & Ted song The Death Of Us in the encore.

Discussing the band's self-titled record and re-releasing it in this manner, guitarist Willie Adler explains: "This album is something I'm incredibly proud of. Throughout the process of writing, recording, and the subsequent filming of the livestream, I knew we were creating much more than a collection of songs. Much more than a simple streamed performance. This was focused energy. Energy that, to me, is very tangible. And now, more than ever, in an era where human interaction is so limited, art… be it music, visual, or otherwise, is a human connection point. And we need as much of that as possible! I hope everyone enjoys this as much as we enjoyed creating it. Thank you."
The release is due out on March 26 via Nuclear Blast. Pre-order it here, and stream Ghost Shaped People below:
