LAMB OF GOD has released a few hour ago “Parasocial Christ”, a relentless three-minute assault that follows “Sepsis”, which arrived in early October and has dominated the U.S. metal charts for the past two weeks.
LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe comments:
“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.”
There is no official announcement about a new album yet but it seems that there is something coming in the future. For the time being, we will have to suffice with their new singles.
