The above ‘Gram of God and hashtag can only mean one of two things: Lamb of God have commenced work on their seventh studio album, or they’re the biggest cockteases since Foghorn Leghorn. Based on this accompanying ‘Gram from Randy Blythe, I’m guessing it’s the former:

Most of you know I don’t ever talk about my day job here- it’s not me being a dick, or snotty- in fact I interact with fans here quite often & openly discuss just about everything under the sun EXCEPT my band. This is for two reasons: #1. Talking about my band is boring as hell for me. Imagine talking about your job ALL THE TIME. I know people who are not in bands who talk about nothing but their job ALL THE TIME, & it makes me want to tear my hair out listening to them- SHUT UP ABOUT WORK. IT’S JUST WORK. LET’S TALK ABOUT LIFE, and, #2. In showing different aspects of my life & what I am interested in OTHER THAN BEING A BAND DUDE, I am trying to demystify the whole “rockstar” thing, because it is BULLSHIT. No one, no matter how hard they try to portray themselves as some sort of rockstar, is ANYTHING other than a HUMAN BEING. The rockstar crap just means you have a SOMETIMES interesting job (& I do stress the “sometimes” aspect strongly, because a lot of the time being in a band is boring as hell). So this is not a “lamb of god” account, I don’t post lamb of god photos or talk about my band here, & I ain’t about to start. HOWEVER… there is a lamb of god Instagram account now, and it is an official one: @lambofgod. So anyone with band questions or wanting to see band stuff- GO THERE & post away to your heart’s content. Someone (& it’s not me putting up posts- that is the truth) has started posting new stuff there starting today, or so I am told via the band grapevine. Hmmmmmm……

So, yeah, seems like we’re gonna get some new LoG in the not-too-distant future.

Which begs the question: how not-too-distantly in the future will we get new LoG? Based on Blythe’s comments, it seems safe to assume that the band is only just starting the writing process for the new record. In other words: don’t get your hopes up for this to be released before 2016.

The silver lining, though, is that THERE MAY BE A NEW LAMB OF GOD ALBUM IN 2016! YAYYYYYYY!!!!
