Morton continued that the band has had to adapt to changes in how people consume music, with the rise of streaming being a major factor.
He noted that while the band still sells physical copies of their albums, it's less common now than when they first started out.
Morton explained: 'I've been around and in the business long enough where when we first started, we sold a lot of records, physical copies — CDs, really, at the time.
And now less so.' He added that streaming is the dominant way people consume music today, saying: 'And streaming is, obviously, the way people consume most of the music.' Despite these changes, Morton emphasized that the band has had to evolve and adapt in order to survive financially.
He acknowledged that while signing with Epic Records in 2003 helped alleviate some financial pressure, he still had to hustle to make ends meet.
However, Morton noted that LAMB OF GOD's success allowed him to quit his job as a roofer and focus on music full-time.
The band is currently gearing up for the release of their new album, "Into Oblivion", which drops March 13 via Epic Records.
To celebrate the album's release weekend, LAMB OF GOD has announced a nationwide series of listening parties at over 140 independent record stores.
Fans can expect exclusive merch, including free swag while supplies last, prizes, and an indie-exclusive limited-edition Poltergeist vinyl variant of the new album.
LAMB OF GOD's new album was produced and mixed by longtime studio collaborator Josh Wilbur.
The album was recorded across multiple locations tied closely to the band's identity, with drums tracked in Richmond, Virginia, guitars and bass recorded at Morton's home studio, and vocals recorded at Total Access Studio in Redondo Beach, California."
