Lamb of God kicked off the “Into Oblivion tour” this weekend in Philadelphia, and it was as insane as you’d expect from the metal giants. Their show at the Theatre of Living Arts The March 15 show at the Theatre of Living Arts delivered a 14-song setlist with two live debuts and one revived track — giving fans both a taste of the past and excitement about what’s to come.
They walked out and went straight into “Ruin,” followed immediately by “Laid to Rest” and “Blood Junkie.” The aggression could be felt from every corner of the room as riffs hit like a wall and the crowd slowly-but-surely made their way into a circle pit. In an intimate venue like this, there’s nowhere to hide from Lamb of God’s much-talked-about showmanship, and the presence of Randy Blythe and Co. was felt from the first guitar solo.
The band released their twelfth album, Into Oblivion, just this month, which marked their first new release in four years. And since they knew fans have been waiting patiently, they served the live debut of the titular track early to grand applause. “Into Oblivion” is harmonic and all kinds of heavy, in true Lamb of God style, and the crowd loved every moment. This energy also extended to other new songs like “Parasocial Christ” (another live debut) and “Sepsis.”
But the real curveball of the night? A live performance of “Grace,” pulled out for the first time since 2010. It’s a type of deep cut that makes a smaller show feel like a reward for being in the room, and you could feel that shift in the crowd — a quick second of recognition before everything kicked back into motion. Lamb of God is famous for keeping the audience on their toes, and we’re not just talking about the dancing they do in the pit.
Since forming over three decades ago, LoG fans have learned that there’s no wandering, extended resets, or predictability in their performances. Guitar tones roll straight into the next riff, and the rhythm section keeps everything moving like a machine that doesn’t really stop once it’s turned on. Even without a massive stage production, the show never feels stripped down or anything less than superb. And this momentum carried the band and their Philadelphia fans throughout the evening.
By the time they hit the encore, everything felt exactly as it should at a Lamb of God concert… loud, reckless, and fast in the best way. “Memento Mori” and “Sepsis” kept the pressure up before “Redneck” closed things out with a bang, and adrenaline rushed through the crowd as they welcomed the “Into Oblivion” era with open arms. Don’t worry, Lamb of God still has plenty more shows left on this trek! See dates below and get tickets now, or check out the full Philadelphia setlist here.
