In the evolving journey of metal outliers Lamb of God, there has been one constant — they really don’t know how to put out a bad album. Their ninth, “Omens” (out Oct. 7), stays the course.
Full of beautifully brutal riffs, dynamically plush layers, aggressive backlines and the eloquent fury of frontman Randy Blythe on tracks like “Nevermore,” the album is already edging a spot on many projected “best of the year” lists.
