It’s been a rough few years for Lamb Of God. In 2012, vocalist Randy Blythe was arrested in Prague for allegedly pushing a fan on-stage, who later died off-stage. Though acquitted, he spent five weeks awaiting trial in Pankrac Prison in Prague.  This put stress on the band as there were talks of taking a… Continue reading Lamb of God Comes Out Swinging with VII: Sturm Und Drang (Epic)
