Lamb of God sent us “Into Oblivion” with their star-studded lineup at Mohegan Sun

“Last but not least were the legends of heavy metal themselves, Lamb of God. There’s no frontman more energetic than Randy Blythe, and nobody but him could get a crowd more alive after surviving through three of the heaviest sets known to man. Lamb of God kept the setlist fresh and interesting, playing all their classic hits like ‘Walk With Me in Hell’ and ‘Laid to Rest,’ while throwing in some newer tracks off ‘Into Oblivion,’ their 12th studio album, which was released this year.

Lamb of God’s stage setup was awesome, to say the least. A mesmerizing array of screens behind them was lined with giant skulls and pulsating lasers that made you feel immersed in songs like ‘Resurrection Man.’ Visually, they were stunning, and you could feel the music too. The abrupt start of ‘Parasocial Christ’ shook Mohegan Sun like an earthquake; the chugging riffs of Mark Morton and Willie Adler could be felt in your chest.”
