Mark Morton Confirms Lamb Of God’s New Album Is Finished

During a recent appearance on SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation”, Mark Morton confirmed that Lamb Of God’s new album is finished. The effort will be the band’s first with drummer Art Cruz (Winds Of Plague) and it is expected to be released in the first half of this year.

Morton said the following about the new record:

“We’ve got new music coming soon. And I really, really couldn’t be more excited about it. There’s a whole fresh new energy in the band. It’s our first recordings with Art. Art‘s been playing drums with us now for a couple of years, but these are our first songs that we’ve written and recorded with him there.

And it’s just a thrill to see these things come to life. And I couldn’t be happier with how the record is turning out, and I’m excited for the world to hear that. There’s gonna be a lot of touring around that, so we’re gonna be super busy on the road.”

He also added the following when asked about a release date:

“There’s not. There’s a time frame. I don’t actually know a date — they haven’t announced yet. But I would think — first half of the year, I think.”

He continued after being asked if it’s finished:

“I’m done with it, that’s for sure. I’m pretty sure [the other guys are] done with it too. I think it’s been printed at this point. I think the last mixes and masters are printed.”
