LAMB OF GOD has confirmed the release of its new album, "Into Oblivion," which arrived in March 2026. The album was produced and mixed by longtime studio collaborator Josh Wilbur and recorded across multiple locations tied to the band's identity. Drums were tracked in Richmond, Virginia, guitars and bass were recorded at guitarist Mark Morton's home studio, and vocals were recorded at the legendary Total Access studio in Redondo Beach, California, the birthplace of seminal punk records by BLACK FLAG, HÜSKER DÜ and DESCENDANTS.
The release of "Into Oblivion" was accompanied by appearances on the covers of Metal Hammer and Kerrang!. The album received widespread critical acclaim, with the Associated Press highlighting it as "10 tracks of ferocity" and Brooklyn Vegan calling it a statement that "reminds the world that their reign as New Wave Of American Heavy Metal giants is far from over.", while SPIN noted the band is "channeling America's unraveling into a ferocious new album.",
"Into Oblivion" is available across multiple formats, including various vinyl variants and a collectible CD with a limited-edition companion zine featuring album art sketches, handwritten lyrics and never-before-seen studio photos. The album marks LAMB OF GOD's continued influence in the heavy metal genre, with band members expressing admiration for newer acts while emphasizing their commitment to maintaining a sound rooted in their own artistic identity.
The band has stated they did not feel compelled to emulate current trends or follow streaming or performance metrics when creating the record. Mark Morton described the process as natural rather than reactive, noting that while he appreciates the work of newer bands, he sees no bands that have directly ripped LAMB OF GOD's sound and songwriting approach. He views the absence of such direct influences as an observation rather than a criticism.
