'For years, I was like ‘We’re not a metal band.’ But I am in a metal band. I’ve accepted that in my old age' .lambofgod’s Omens are coming to light (via ptgrw)
Real talk? The cumulative weight of changing trends, the major-label system and cruel fate have all failed to cushion, is a throttled-out, high-decibel jetstream with a series of cautionary tales and psychic explorations couched inside its 10 songs. Whether addressing ecological ruin, psychological anguish or detailing the more corrupt aspects of mankind, the band does it with the same physical and emotional fury they’ve thrown down on their eight previous releases.
“Our bass player, John [Campbell] grew up in the D.C. area punk-rock scene and listened to a lot of the Dischord stuff,” Blythe continues. “And Willie [Adler], our guitar player, grew up listening to a lot of hardcore, as well as the metal. John said a long time ago, ‘We’re a punk rock band that plays metal.’ There was no metal scene as it exists today: We were playing squats in warehouses in West Philly and Baltimore with punk rock bands through my connections in the scene.
Listening to Blythe leaves an impression of a man who has accomplished and done a lot with himself — and not all of it was exemplary. During a 2010 show in the Czech Republic, Blythe was accused of killing a fan when security failures erupted into a stage invasion from members of the audience. Despite pleas from friends and business associates not to go back, Blythe returned to the country, spent five months in jail waiting for trial and was later acquitted by a high court ruling.
Two years later, while surfing the waves of Oak Island, North Carolina, Blythe met environmentalist Carlos Ojeda, who invited him to bring his board to Ecuador and check out the waves there. While the surfing was great, Blythe noted huge swathes of land destroyed from corporate over-farming. He and Ojeda pooled their resources and bought the land to revive it with local vegetation and return it back to its natural state.
