Everything To Know About Lamb Of God’s Newly Announced 2026 Studio LP

The heavy metal titans Lamb of God have just announced their upcoming tenth studio album Into Oblivion, slated to release March 13th via Century Media and Epic. Coming off the heels of their massively ambitious album cycle for 2022’s Omens, which cracked the Billboard Top 15 and saw the band headlining arenas and massive festivals, Lamb of God’s upcoming 2026 album looks to be no less ambitious. Additionally, the band isn’t holding any punches sonically – the three singles shown off so far each offer different shades of the band’s signature frantic grooves and punk-like aggression.

Everything To Know About Lamb Of God’s 10th Studio Album

The consistent success Lamb of God has managed to see over their last six studio albums has been quite remarkable, especially for a band that has not let their foot off gas sonically. Since 2006’s Sacrament, LOG has cracked the Top 15 on the Billboard Top 200 albums with every one of their studio albums. Coincidentally, apart from Sacrament which was produced by legendary studio figure Machine, Into Oblivion marks the sixth consecutive LP that LOG has worked with producer Josh Wilbur. There’s clearly been a positive outcome from the band working with Wilbur over the years, so it’s no surprise to see them continue their longstanding collaboration.

Speaking of collaborations, Into Oblivion will be the band’s third studio album with drummer Art Cruz, who became a permanent member Lamb of God after longtime drummer Chris Adler parted ways with the band in 2019.

Into Oblivion Track-listing

In keeping with the theme of their last two LPs, Lamb of God’s 10th studio album will feature 10 tracks (at least on the standard release):

1. “Into Oblivion”
2. “Parasocial Christ”
3. “Sepsis”
4. “The Killing Floor”
5. “El Vacío”
6. “St. Catherine’s Wheel”
7. “Blunt Force Blues”
8. “Bully”
9. “A Thousand Years”
10. “Devise/Destroy”

What Inspired Into Oblivion?

According to the band’s guitarist Mark Morton, the band took their time to write Into Oblivion and they weren’t confined by expectations from the genre or their fans. “For me, the album is about having the space to breathe creatively and not feeling like we have to keep up with any trend or expectation,” Mark Morton shares. “It feels nice to be untethered from any agenda beyond rallying around the notion of, ‘Let’s just make music that we think is cool,’ which is really where it all started.”

In terms of the lyrical themes, Lamb of God has never shied away from delving into social political subject matter, even if it’s at a surface level. Regarding the band’s decision to name the album Into Oblivion, vocalist Randy Blythe states “Because that’s where we’re heading. In general, the album is about the ongoing and rapid breakdown of the social contract, particularly here in America. Things are acceptable now that would’ve horrified people just 20 years ago.”

Bottom Line

2026 is looking to be a great year for Lamb of God fans and heavy music in general. With the announcement and release date for Into Oblivion being tied so close, it’s a bit surprising in all the best ways. Less than a year ago it seemed Lamb of God’s next LP was still a few years away. However, in hindsight with the band’s 2025 single releases and the stacked North American Spring tour they announced in November, all the stars were aligned for a new Lamb of God LP.
