Lamb of God have released an official studio recording of their cover of “Children of the Grave” the iconic Black Sabbath song they debuted during their appearance at Back to the Beginning concert last month which took place at Villa Park in Birmingham, UK.
Lead guitarist Mark Morton shares: “Lamb of God being invited to perform with Black Sabbath at their final show is one of the greatest honors of our career.As an offering to the celebration, we’ve recorded our take on their classic ‘Children of the Grave,’ a protest song with lyrics that are as relevant today as they were in 1971 when the original was released. Black Sabbath invented heavy metal and in doing so, they changed the world. This genre that they created brings immeasurable joy to fans all over the world. We are so grateful to have the heavy metal community to call our home, and so grateful to Black Sabbath for the gift of their music that they’ve given to all of us.”
Lamb of God is wrapping up work on their tenth studio album, which is set to follow 2022’s critically acclaimed Omens – the band’s sixth consecutive Top 15 debut on the Billboard 200. It also hit No. 1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart, No. 3 on the Top Album Sales Chart, No. 3 on the Top Rock Albums Chart, and No. 5 on the Top Vinyl Albums Chart.
