Metal heavyweights Lamb of God have unleashed “Sepsis”, their first new original music since their highly praised 2022 album Omens. The three-and-a-half-minute track is out now via Epic Records, alongside a dark lo-fi performance video.
Produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur, “Sepsis” delivers intensity and raw atmosphere. The video, directed by Gianfranco Svagelj, showcases Richmond’s underground grit with a moody, unfiltered lens.
Guitarist Mark Morton explained that the song pays tribute to the underground Richmond bands that shaped the group’s early days as Burn the Priest, citing Breadwinner, Sliang Laos, and Ladyfinger as major influences despite their limited reach beyond the city.
The single arrives in a milestone year as Lamb of God marked the 25th anniversary of their discography, performing at the historic Back to the Beginning show, releasing a crushing rendition of Black Sabbath’s “Children of the Grave”, and appearing at festivals like Inkcarceration and Louder Than Life.
As 2025 winds down, the band will headline Aftershock, AMMA Championship Fest, and their very own Headbangers Boat, a four-day metal cruise departing Miami on October 31 with a stop in Cozumel, Mexico. The lineup features Clutch, Power Trip, Obituary, DevilDriver, Fear Factory, The Black Dahlia Murder, Crowbar, and many more.
