Lamb of God Returns with New Single "Sepsis"

Lamb of God, the influential metal band from Richmond, Virginia, has released "Sepsis," their first original music since the 2022 album *Omens*. The single, produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur, is accompanied by a lo-fi performance video directed by Gianfranco Svagelj. The three-and-a-half-minute track reflects the band's underground roots and pays homage to local Richmond acts such as Breadwinner, Sliang Laos, and Ladyfinger, which inspired their early work as Burn the Priest.

Guitarist Mark Morton emphasized that "Sepsis" serves as a celebration of the underground music scene that shaped the band. He noted, “Though they never got widespread attention outside of Richmond, those were the bands we listened to all the time. The song references that stuff in a way that’s a direct line to where we were coming from when we were in the basement writing our earliest material together.” This connection to their origins highlights the band's commitment to honoring their musical influences.

While the reception of "Sepsis" has been largely positive, some critics have noted that the slower, sludgier pace of the track marks a departure from the band's traditional sound. This shift has sparked discussions among fans regarding the evolution of Lamb of God's musical style.
