Lamb Of God Announce Tour With Decapitated; Metal On The Mountain Retreat
posted in: Music News
Now that Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe has been found innocent of the manslaughter charges pressed against him in Prague, it’s time for his band to get back on the road. This morning, Lamb Of God announced they will be embarking on a secondary market tour that will find the band visiting 30 cities they have yet to play on their current album cycle. Support on all dates will be Decapitated with Terror appearing through June 10th and The Acacia Strain appearing on the remaining shows. Dates for the run can be found at the end of this story.
In addition to their national tour plans, Lamb Of God have also announced Metal on the Mountain retreat July 15th through 19th to be held at the Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, New York. The weeklong retreat, which is limited to 170 fans, will feature activities aimed at musicians and non musicians alike. The curriculum, created by the band, will include guitar and drum clinics with Mark Morton, Willie Adler, and Chris Adler, as well as group instruction, songwriting sessions and competitions, nightly jam sessions with the band and fans, band Q & A, the premiere of the Lamb of God feature film scheduled for a fall theatrical release, and a full band concert the final night of the retreat. Longtime band album designer Ken Adams will discuss the creation of Lamb of God album and t-shirt designs, while band tour manager and sound man Brian Griffin will instruct fans on the art of mixing a live metal show. Non-musical activities will include motorcycle excursions with bassist John Campbell, a seminar on primitive fire building by Randy Blythe, and a casino night.
