Lamb Of God Premiere New Single & Music Video "Parasocial Christ"

Lamb Of God’s second all-new single of the year has received its online premiere. Hot on the heels of last month’s “Sepsis,” the multi-platinum Richmond, VA groove metal veterans have now unleashed “Parasocial Christ.” The track arrives with a Jon Vulpine-directed music video, available below.

Digging into the song’s themes, frontman Randy Blythe explained:

“The Information Age has birthed the attention economy, an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars anchored in keeping eyeballs firmly glued to screens, thus generating ad revenue. Every second spent clicking and scrolling through the trivial and/or sordid details of other people’s lives, people that you will most likely never meet- celebrities, politicians, influencers- is another dollar in some already obscenely wealthy tech bro’s wallet.

You are a product, and you are being sold in a marketplace you have no share in. The irony of you reading this some social media platform or music news aggregator site is not lost on me; nevertheless I hope this song might make you consider who and what you give your attention to. Fuck the clickbait, put down the phone, go live your life- it’s waiting for you out in what’s left of the real world.”

Rounding out a busy stretch for the band, Lamb Of God have also confirmed a spring North American headlining tour. Promoted as “the heaviest tour of the year,” the run kicks off this March and will see the groove metal vets joined by Kublai Khan TX, Fit For An Autopsy, and Sanguisugabogg as support.
