Heavy metal's Lamb of God have announced headlining tour dates in support of their forthcoming ninth studio album, Omens (out October 7 on Epic Records). The group's last documented setlist was on May 19 at Centre Videotron as part of the The Metal Tour of the Year (see the setlist).
The Omens Tour will feature special guests Killswitch Engage on all dates and support from Baroness, Motionless In White, Spiritbox, Animals As Leaders, Suicide Silence and Fit For An Autopsy on select dates. The fall tour will kick off September 9 in Brooklyn, New York and stretch through October 20. Guitarist Mark Morton commented on the upcoming trek:
"Two decades ago, Lamb of God, along with Killswitch Engage, were a part of a new wave of American heavy metal music. Our scene grew from a small, loosely connected network of underground shows in basements and warehouses, into a global phenomenon that helped define an entire generation of modern heavy metal. We are thrilled to announce The Omens Tour, which celebrates not only the perseverance and impact of that original movement, but also the creativity and originality of the bands that it influenced. Heavy metal is alive and well. The Omens Tour proudly showcases the depth and diversity of our scene. This is not a tour to miss."
Tickets are set to go on sale starting this Friday, June 10 at 10am local time. Visit the band's official website for details.
