So, apparently LAMB OF GOD thinks they’re too cool for stadiums now and are playing at Philadelphia’s TLA (Theatre of Living Arts—sounds fancy, right?) on March 15. Two days after dropping their new album “Into Oblivion”, because why not make fans suffer waiting for both at the same time?
The band is basically asking you to grovel for tickets on Ticketmaster like it’s a medieval courtship ritual. Tickets are $15 (fees included, because of course there are fees), and if you’re lucky enough to get one, your credit card will magically get charged. Spoiler alert: requesting tickets doesn’t mean you’ll actually get them. It’s like applying for a job you’re obviously not qualified for—just with more headbanging involved.
Oh, and in case you thought you could flip these tickets for a profit like some scalping goblin, Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange is here to ruin your side hustle dreams. Tickets are non-transferable unless you resell them at face value on Ticketmaster. Party poopers.
This Philly gig is extra special because the city helped make LAMB OF GOD famous—remember their platinum-selling “Killadelphia” album? Yeah, that one. The band is basically returning to their old stomping grounds to remind everyone they still exist.
But wait, there’s more! Over 140 independent record stores are hosting “Into Oblivion” listening parties from March 13-15. Free merch, prizes, and a limited-edition Poltergeist vinyl variant will be available. Because nothing says “I’m a true fan” like owning the same album in five different colors.
The album itself is a big deal, with the title track accompanied by a video directed by Tom Flynn and Mike Watts. Previous singles like “Sepsis” paid homage to the early ’90s Richmond underground scene, while “Parasocial Christ” delivered a three-minute face-melting experience that Revolver called an “anti-tech thrasher.” Translation: it’s loud, fast, and your parents will hate it.
Recorded across multiple locations tied to the band’s identity (because authenticity matters), drums were tracked in Richmond, Virginia, while guitars and bass were recorded at Mark Morton‘s home studio. Randy Blythe recorded his vocals at the legendary Total Access studio in Redondo Beach, California—the same place where punk legends like BLACK FLAG and HÃœSKER DÃœ laid down tracks. Basically, this album has more street cred than your hipster cousin with the vinyl collection.
And if you thought that was enough metal for one year, think again! LAMB OF GOD announced a spring North American tour with KUBLAI KHAN TX, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, and SANGUISUGABOGG. The tour kicks off on March 17, promising to be the heaviest trek of 2026. Tickets and VIP packages are available now because why let fans keep their money in their wallets?
2025 was already a milestone year for the band, celebrating 25 years of discography, performing at the historic “Back To The Beginning” concert, and releasing a thunderous cover of BLACK SABBATH‘s “Children Of The Grave”. They also played festivals like Inkcarceration and Louder Than Life, plus a headlining show at Richmond’s new 7500-seat outdoor venue Allianz Amphitheater during its opening season. Because when you’re LAMB OF GOD, you don’t just play venues—you christen them.
