Randy Blythe says he enjoyed stepping “outside of the box” on Lamb Of God’s upcoming album VII: Sturm Und Drang.
They released a promo for the track 512 last week and while Blythe says the record features some deviation from their typical sound, he assures fans the rest of the material still sounds like Lamb Of God.
Blythe tells TeamRock Radio: “I don’t like it when people just do the same thing over and over again. There’s certain parameters that Lamb Of God are gonna stay within, because we are a metal band.
“We’re not gonna start making reggae songs. There’s always gonna be that screamy, harsh element to it. But it’s fun to try and step outside the box a little bit.”
VII: Sturm Und Drang is released on July 24 via Nuclear Blast. Lamb Of God play the Encore Stage at Download today (June 14).
