Last month, Lamb of God released a new caustic firestorm of a track with \u201cSepsis\u201d just a day before they were set to play this year\u2019s Aftershock Festival. Naturally, they performed the track live and footage spilled out across the internet. Fast forward to today and we\u2019ve got official video and audio to showcase just how absolutely mental the song plays in a live setting.<\/p>\n
Described by frontman Randy Blythe as being \u201cabout a national sickness,\u201d the song is pretty clearly a takedown of Trumpism and the decay it\u2019s causing within the United States. It\u2019s pretty straight forward to me, but I could also see it simply being about the rot of political extremism that\u2019s taken over the country. Either way, it\u2019s an attack on this \u201cnew normal\u201d we\u2019re all living in now.<\/p>\n
So yeah, check out the video below and try not to headbang. If you\u2019d like to see \u2019em play live, we\u2019ve got a list of their upcoming shows below.<\/p>\n
