Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe: “Do Not Remain Silent in the Face of All This Cruelty, Inhumanity, and Corruption”

Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe is calling on his fellow musicians and artists to speak out against the “cruelty, inhumanity, and corruption” that is taking place under the current Trump administration.

After an extended break from social media, the metal singer posted a lengthy essay titled “All the horrors happening around us” on his Substack account. He noted that he’s been speaking out against injustices since Lamb of God formed 30 years ago, including within the lyrics of the band’s songs.

“It’s not just this unhinged American nightmare we are living through that is wearing me out,” wrote Blythe. “No, I’m also tired because I have been literally screaming at the top of my lungs in warning about all this for 30 years now.”

Later on, he made a plea for others to join him, writing the following:

“So yes, I’m tired after 30 years of screaming about all of this, but I guess I’ll just keep on screaming. What else am I supposed to do?

If you are an artist like me, do not remain silent in the face of all this cruelty, inhumanity, and corruption. Use your voice. Do not be a coward, because while I do not know how long this regime will last, I do know that it will eventually end— all of them do.

And know this: history will remember those who spoke and acted with moral clarity during these times, as well as those who plodded silently along with their heads bowed, hoping to reemerge once the coast was clear.”

Meanwhile, Lamb of God recently announced their new album, Into Oblivion, which will address various injusticcs in its song’s lyrics. In a statement about the upcoming LP (out March 13th), Blythe said, “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.”

Lamb of God will support the album with a North American tour that features a stacked support package of Kublai Khan TX, Fit for an Autopsy, and Sanguisugabogg. The outing kicks off March 17th in National Harbor, Maryland, with tickets available here.
