In a new interview with Loyal To The Craft, Lamb of God drummer Art Cruz discussed the band's latest album, Into Oblivion, which came out on March 13 via Epic in the U.S.

and Century Media in Europe.

He said in part: "It's been a long time coming.

It's the band's tenth studio album." Cruz continued: "My entire approach on this record was so different because not only is this my first record sober," he explained, referencing his sobriety anniversary earlier this year.

"I worked out for six months on a huge regimen to get my body back in shape, get my mind right." The album received widespread acclaim, with critics praising its intensity and relevance.

Produced and mixed by longtime studio collaborator Josh Wilbur, Into Oblivion was recorded across multiple locations tied closely to the band's identity.

Drums were tracked in Richmond, Virginia, with guitars and bass recorded at guitarist Mark Morton's home studio.

Singer Randy Blythe recorded his vocals at the legendary Total Access studio in Redondo Beach, California.
