Grammy-nominated, chart-topping Richmond, VA based heavy rock band, Lamb Of God, will release their seventh full-length album, VII: Sturm Und Drang, in North America this July via Epic Records. Outside of North America, Nuclear Blast Entertainment will release VII: Sturm Und Drang.

Markus Staiger, Nuclear Blast owner and founder, enthuses, “What an honour to work with Lamb Of God. I’ve always been a big fan of their music and we now get to work with them on their new crushing album!”

Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler continues, "Finally joining forces with Nuclear Blast outside of North America is something Lamb Of God is excited to see happen. We first met back in 1997 - almost signed then, but have been flirting ever since!  It's now time for a new chapter for us in connecting with our friends and fans overseas, which is long overdue!  See you all very soon - with a nasty new album!"

Today, after weeks of hinting at fans about the imminent release, the band is unleashing a brand new track, “Still Echoes” (listen at this location). “Still Echoes” will be available via all digital retailers and streaming services beginning Monday, May 18th.

Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe states, “The time has come to give the fans their first taste of the new Lamb Of God album. This is a very, very dark, yet sonically highly varied, record. As it's always good to come out of the gate hard with a fast and aggressive one, we chose this track "Still Echoes" to kick it off. Enjoy/destroy.”

Several exclusive VII: Sturm Und Drang pre-order bundles are available now for North America at this location, and in Europe here.

VII: Sturm Und Drang is once again produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur with engineering by Wilbur, Nick Rowe, and Kyle McAulay, and was recorded at NRG Recording Studios in North Hollywood, CA and Suburban Soul Studios in Torrance, CA.

Make sure to stay tuned for more VII: Sturm Und Drang clips, tracks, and videos… coming soon.

Lamb Of God’s last album, the 2012 Grammy-nominated Resolution, debuted at #3 on the US Billboard Top 200, #1 on the US Top Hard Rock and Rock Album charts, #2 on the Canadian albums chart, and #3 on the Australian albums chart.
