Lamb Of God Premiere Their Cover Of Black Sabbath’s “Children Of The Grave”

Following their live debut of Black Sabbath’s “Children Of The Grave” during ‘Back To The Beginning’ farewell show for Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne past Saturday, July 5th, Richmond, VA groove metal giants Lamb Of God have released a studio version of the cover. The track, a fresh take on the Sabbath classic, was produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur (Korn, Avenged Sevenfold).

Guitarist Mark Morton shared his thoughts on the cover and Sabbath’s enduring influence on the band:

“Lamb Of God being invited to perform with Black Sabbath at their final show is one of the greatest honors of our career. As an offering to the celebration, we’ve recorded our take on their classic ‘Children Of The Grave‘, a protest song with lyrics that are as relevant today as they were in 1971 when the original was released.

Black Sabbath invented heavy metal and in doing so, they changed the world. This genre that they created brings immeasurable joy to fans all over the world. We are so grateful to have the heavy metal community to call our home, and so grateful to Black Sabbath for the gift of their music that they’ve given to all of us.”
