Lyrics:
Watch the gears grind off their teeth
The screeching halt machine digging heels in disbelief
Two reactional identities, opposing policies
A bait and switch routine.
Double takes and double speak
Still scripting the facade
Asphyxiate and choke the truth
All hail the money God
Repeat, echo, refrain
It’s all the same, so deafening
Repeat, echo, refrain
A consequence, we asked for this
Repeat, echo, refrain
No, never again
The American scream.
A coup de tat on full display, a liar’s sick charade
A traitor’s grand parade
Narcissistic masquerades for those without a say
Systematic disarray.
Divide and conquer and close them in and bury secrets deep
Make America hate again and bleed the sheep to sleep.
Repeat, echo, refrain
It’s all the same, so deafening
Repeat, echo, refrain
A consequence, we asked for this
Repeat, echo, refrain
No, never again
The American scream.
You try to pick the lesser of
But evil doesn’t come in twos
Bellicose and balkanized
A sinking ship of fools
So kiss the hangman as you drop
The rotting corpse of decency
Just another casualty of the American scream.

All i can say is being a metalhead in this era is a damn treat, all these wonderful bands releasing new music one after one man
True. Some amazing metal bands releasing some amazing tracks, NeObs, Belakor, Slipknot and LoG.
August Burns Red put out a new song today too!
@@EpiphoneShredzzzzz Hell yes, would love to see a LoG and ABR tour someday.
Disentomb new album was so good too
As i lay dying too
*God damn those riffs are pure gold*
Please cover it. PLEASE.
Ben Sunny Isaac he probably did already cmon
Gonna have this done by the weekend? Tomorro maybe??
Cover please!
Always man... /w\LOG/w\
randy's vocals are still as good as they were on ashes of the wake, unreal
sadly he is the only one who does it like Ashes.... new songs are boring compared to ashes
I remember really enjoying LOG in HS, but being a bit intimidated by Randy's intense vocals. Fast forward today and LOG is still one of my favorite band but my respect for Randy's vocals grew exponentially. He really is a master of his craft and melds perfectly with the rest of the group. Not to mention they all seem like humble and down to earth guys. Top 3 modern metal bands w/o question for sure.
Ashes of the Wake vox topped this by far. His highs don't sound the same in these more recent couple albums. Still good shit, but it seems like he's trying to save his vocal chords lol prolly because he went so fuckin' hard on earlier albums. Shit was nasty in New American Gospel, great stuff. I know people say his vox are more refined now, but the older albums just seemed way more fucking brutal.
This guy has been belting out guterals for over 3 decades that would make Satan shake in his boots
@@pollutedcrimson it's rare to find someone who can make Satan shit his pants. Randy is one of the sacred few 🤘
Some folks bitchin about Chris being gone . Man did what he had to . I think the new guys doing great . I say let's be glad we still have LOG .
I met Chris in Brighton, UK in Feb 2019. He seemed in good spirits working the merch of all things!
Yea he is good. Well it was Chris who recommend Art Cruz to LOG.
I love this new drummer as he nailed every song.
Mike still their on the drums, same singer too. Look how old ass the guitar player is, looks like a grand daddy
people on the internet like to add drama even when everything's fine
Everyone can be good on track but what about live
as much as I'll miss Adler, we still have the OG gang alive and well and for that I'm grateful. Great song, cant wait for a new album. Been a fan since 1999!!
Lousy song. Fake fan can't see past the bullshit.
You're either jasdave or nobody. Saskatchewan LOG fan in 1999? GBYMC yo!
Did Adler die or did I miss that?
Chris is the OG gang LMAO. Technically Willie is not an original member.
@@youcantdrive8138 i stopped following after sacrament . as the palaces burn and new american gospel are the goat's .
The perfect song for drowning out the sound of kids in the kitchen arguing about who gets the last bagel.
Drowning kids over a bagel is pretty harsh parenting dude
@@Brett-yq7pj frigg off Lahey
Why can't they each have half?
Frig Off yea turn the music down and take care of the kids handle it then turn it back up. work before play
Ouch! Reading replies, I think that was metaphorical. Hum, maybe accidentally haha.
This song makes me want to look up and down before crossing a road
😁😂😂😂
Lol
Way to be a sheep.....
So youre suicidal since you didnt look left or right?
Niiiiiice lmao
This song makes me want to leave a comment.
Same
YOU MADLAD
Let no one stop you
😂
🤣
Obligatory crying comment about how Chris Adler isn’t drumming.
Seriously. Track is awesome. Can’t wait for the album!
Awesome track.
I saw art cruz this summer with lamb of god and this guy kick ass
a million bands blow these assholes away lol....just type thrash metal full album ull see
Danny Dircio I definitely understand. I miss Chris too. But so many automatically dismissing this because he isn’t on it is garbage.
AphroditesCrush Lamb of God not to mention Chris Adler is on a complete different level. No denying that. It’s fact. There’s rock & roll, thrash metal, heavy metal, then you have lamb of god. But this track is epic. Reminds me of ‘as the palace burns’
The fact that Art is wearing that shirt can't be an accident. Safe travels to Chris, welcome aboard Art! May 8th can't get here quick enough!
Joseph Foster have to say that L.O.G isn’t missing anything with this guy behind the kit. Chris is legendary but this guy grooves for real.
Sometimes the moon and the stars align and bands like this are created!
Pure american metal, this is masterpiece Randy is beast !!
Damian ua-cam.com/video/0cvgJqaPMy0/v-deo.html I can do better then he 🤘🏻. Check this out
@@Sergterra14 You really can't, mate
Jesse Saario check the video, I Think you change your mind. I really like Lamb Of God, but Randy’s vocals skills (especially in live) is suck((
I did and I stand by my comment
@@Sergterra14 its good but i like randy´s better
"This song sounds too much like a typical Lamb of god song." Imagine thinking a band sounds too much like itself and that means it's bad.
This track kicks ass, by the way. Can't wait for the album to drop.
These people are ungrateful. We should all be happy that they didn’t take the huge misstep that Machine Head did.
Its bad when it sounds nearly exactly like other songs they have.
@@dna448
Not if you like those songs
Darkbring3r not for nothing but yeah not expanding on your sound gets boring and it can certainly be a bad thing, I don’t think that applies to LOG tho, people should know what they’re getting with them
@@ZeroMilk so you youre saying you want them to just make the same song over and over again?
This song makes me want to break into my neighbors house toast all their bread and leave
Alex R hahahahaha
You’re like the fourth person I seen say that.
lmaooo 😂😂
Ha stealing comments. Ha comedt
DO IT
This song is about the deceptive times we live in. Great lyrics, great song
I don't always listen to LOG; but when I do, so do the neighbors
Lol!
Gee..never heard this comment before on any metal song
Sharing is caring!!
Same same like me......
It’s hard moving on without Chris, but this sound helps me realize I can. Lamb of God is back! ❤️
Ewolf5150 I like Lamb of Gods’ sound; their very distinct sound - minus The Duke. I want new music, but not a new Lamb of God.
@Ewolf5150 very much agree, bro. i believe this was one of the reasons Chris was pushed out of the band.
@Ewolf5150 generic LOG is still better than 90% of bands out there
Yeah it's definitely noticeably different with regard to the percussion/rhythm. Chris Adler is very jazzy for a metal player, was kne of my favorite elements of LOG's sound. Mark/Willie still throwing down awesome guitar riffs, though.
Getting some SERIOUS Ashes of the Wake vibes here.
SAME DUDE! I love it
This song didn’t remind me anything of Ashes Of The Wake. All their older material is way better than what has been released since 2010 imo
@@benpotter2399 in my opinion, they havent put out anything bad. Some albums I like more than others ,but there's nothing I don't like from this band.
What song did you guys listen to? Definitely not this one, because the only album this sounds close to is Resolution.
Vincent Cabrera yeah. I just think the older stuff is better but I’m not trying to completely say anything newer is shit. Their style has changed a bit. I thought with this new drummer the old lamb of god would have come back.
Album of the year. Welcome back Lamb Of God
Definitely a massive album, but the year has huge releases competing. The new Trivium and the new Avatar are both excellent, Gojira is going to release an album, and that new Sepultura is insane.
@@andreaseverin1346 Avatar is trash. Trivium haven't evolved their sound since Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation
@@snipesMcgipes25 Maybe they haven't ever topped A Gunshot, but the only thing they did since Ascendancy is change styles.
@@snipesMcgipes25 this is entirely false. Triviums sound has evolved tremendously and they perfected it with the sin and the sentence .
My faith in music has been restored.
Last year Tool, this year Lamb of God.
Let's get Lamb of God trending!!!!
yeah
@leavescars96 Well not everything on trending is bad. Athlean x is really good
Definitely sounds like "wrath" era lamb of god
Wrath was better. This track wouldnt be a single on wrath.
@@beau5296 💔💔
That is exactly what i thought while listening
Sounds like every era of Lamb of God
Sounds a bit like sturm and drang
Two of the baddest guitar players out there
Perfect mix of Harmony and Brutality. I get chills everytime I hear something new of theirs.
All we needed was the return of groovy metal king.
along with *_Pantera *👍👈_*
Serhat Murat Asbit you do realise half of Pantera is dead?
@@fatcatflubber4868 And it's the founders who died
@leavescars96 I disagree Pantera is fantastic, but Lamb of God is better.
@leavescars96 Ah well in that case I totally agree!
IT HURTS to see Chris is no longer here, BUT Art seems to be legit and I welcome him and hope for the best!
I'm just glad that they split amicably :)
...totally agree
You think he's legit? Thank God. Now we can all enjoy the track.
@@welp3904 Oh, James.
@@MarkArandjus kissy face
He sounds like he's killing it based on this track alone. Can't wait!
So glad they haven’t tried to change the sound “because that’s not who they are now”. Classic lamb of god sound, love it!
This song makes me want to step on grass where it specifically says not to.
I love the vocals and the song is beast and can’t wait to hear the rest
second this
So many maggots in this comment section, loving it
LoG’s Maggot HELL YEAH. The maggot family🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@LogsMaggot u said somethin bout Maggots?? Hahaha
What a year for music... what a time to be alive...
2020 will follow a great 2019 for metal... fuck yeah! \mm/
I mean, i've grown up listening to chris adler and joey jordison drumming, but this is quite sick, fits amazingly well.. sick song, hyped for the album.
The way randy belts..is out of this world..chris is phenomenal drummer..but this new guy is going to go far...I love this band..they've gotten me threw some rough times..glad that they are still kicking ass..super stoked for this album
I love seeing Randy with glasses. I call him Poppa Randy.
Lol hell yes
I envy the grandkids that will eventually actually get to call him Poppa Randy
He looks like a metrosexual feminist with the glasses on.
And his name is Art Cruz,absolute badass. So happy to see him with LoG and I’m excited to see all he’s contributed to this record.
He's a perfect fit!!
low budget video, high quality music
It is so that people spent less time watching and more time listening🤘🤘🤘
This new drummer is phenomenal to fit so well with this band that we love. The only thing that I feel would have been different with Chris on this track is those signature double base drum spurts that are super fast for just a second or 2 every here and there. It’s a little thing but it makes a difference.
"A consequence, we asked for this"
This is very true man.
From a drummers standpoint, it isn't really the style of playing that's too different, it's how it sounds. Chris usually kept things very tight, tuned high, with a quick decay. It was a hallmark of the Lamb of God sound, not to say that this is bad by any means, the difference is just very noticeable. Nonetheless, very excited to see where the band goes from here.
Most of what you said I agree with, but one thing you're definitely 110% incorrect about is that Chris tuned high.

1:56
This sounded equally as good as most of the rest of their songs to me. Not bad but not memorable, seems like a filler song but they released it as a single and made a music video for it on accident
Got the generic core drum sound now
this sounds very similar to Chris's drumming in the Sturm und Drang album. really damn close to it if not spot on
I showed this song to my lamb, and now he’s a god!
That intro solo man, Mark is still the GOAT
I've been waiting to see how Art Cruz was going to step out of Chris' shadow and lay down his own beats....... Well f@%king done!
I was thinking the same thing. Im a huge chris fan. And was very skeptical when I found out art was taking his spot. Don't get me wrong arts a great drummer and can plays chris,s stuff no problem. I was just curious if he would try to copy chris. Or bring his style. And i think he's done great. You can hear a little bit of Chris. Because he was a influence on Art. But I say fuck the haters.
Ive been a fan of lamb of god for 13 years. When i first listened to some of their songs, i was scared as shit. Imagine that jump from korn and other nu metal bands to this kind of music. Even though i was scared i managed to keep listening to it and eventually really began to get hooked on LOG. Afterwards, i began to listen to other metalcore bands. Ex:unearth, Killswitch. Then i wanted something heavier and ended up listening to cannibal corpse, then dying fetus, then cattle decap, then exhumed, then disgorge. When i discovered black metal i couldnt stop listening to it;it totally changed my world. So i began to listening to heavier and heavier music all thanks to lamb of god. Lamb of god is a very unique and versatile band and keep coming back to them. I welcome their new drummer with open arms. I didn't like the new song at first, but after many listens i now have high hopes for this album. I believe in LOG's potential. They are very talented musicians. All hail lamb of god \m/
🤘
Damn those vocals good asf wish I could scream like that
My neighbors have a great taste in music and even more so since this song. It’s the main thing we agree on! 😎

So after testing it, yes this song kicks ass for back, shoulders, and arm day.
Whitechapel🤘
@@kennethj.mccrosson3002 hell yeah man, hometown #615
You better test it for leg day as well.
@@MadnessOpus but.....that's my George Clinton day.....I needs muh funk.
I'll see how it does on legs tomorrow morning
I think Randy Blythe’s voice sounds like his actual natural voice than other artists using way too much artificial voice.
Love the grammar choice in these lyrics on this album 👌🔥❤️
4:20 nice
Noticed that immediately
Niccccceee
I knew it was coming up!!! YES
This song hits different right now.
Those complaining about the new drummer... Just read his shirt haha. LOG kicks ass, they don't miss a step on this one
This music video looks like a Concert DVD menu on loop. Must not have had a big budget. Lol
I recognize the style for sure, just saw Dream Theater a couple of months ago and their entire show had a storyboard playing in this exact same artistic style and animation style...if not the same person, it is the same program and formula for sure.
I’m thanking the lord I’m still alive to hear another LOG song. Great-full the band is doing well and heavier than ever
Not heavier then ever by a long shot. Go back and listen to new American gospel for fucks sake
Chris said you guys are frown town 24/7.
Frown Town,
Population - every metal head ever.
Perfect as always... The epitome of metal.
Checkmate guitarrist
SLAP LIKE NOW!!!
Felipe Cuello davie504 ♥️
SDAIAY
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭

Finally, Lamb of Jesus has some new material
I burn for Metal..Lamb of God feeds that fire
Nobody can't beat to this band in metal
Randy sounds amazing!
Testament, Sylosis and Lamb of Good releasing new shit within a week... 2020 will be a good year :)
Eminem, A7X, LoG all good new music, although A7X isn't a new album just a remaster of DitR
Black Dahlia Murder as well
2020 is so far so good for metal...hoping we get a new gojira album top...2019 ended good too with new fleshgod apocalypse and cattle decapitation tho
@@hersheypants731 we will get a new gojira album, mario confirmed subtly in instagram comments
And Sepultura
LoG...First ballot Rock N Roll Hall of Famers
Lamb of God never disappoints, I swear!
I love how Art is wearing a shirt that says "Mind your business." Probably in anticipation of all the haters in the comments lol
🤘😎
eye like him already!
Sad!
This drummer is the perfect match.
David Smith You know it bro. Chris said himself, he doesn’t paint by the numbers so apparently the label was pushing them hard to get some new material out. I stand behind his decision and I also stand behind LOG!! Amazing musicians!!
Little known fact, American currency actually said Mind Your Business up until the cold war. Then it was changed to In God We Trust
Awesome can't wait for more! Love you guys. Pure American Metal.
They have the best metal riffs ever.
Best guitar intro ever...
Bad Brains are written all over Randy’s growls. It’s this way with every Lamb of God song I’ve listened to in the past, and it still going strong to this day. Not to mention the insane instrumental blues influence in this particular song among the rest of their catalogue.
I can't preorder this album fast enough. Really dig Art Cruz's drumming on this track too.
This is one of my fav album of lamb of God. True it's a wake up call vibes..
Best of LOG album...period !!! Only my opinion....Resurrection Man...fave off the album.
This song makes me want to break into my own house
And you got caught because this song sucks.
And turn the shitty music off?
@@orestisg12 I don't agree that this song sucks...but what's wrong with Linkin Park? You know Mark Morton did a song with Chester before he killed himself right?
@@castle6660 That song sounds better than this.
@@sirdorkster I'll agree with that.
Killer Riffs!
New album release on my bday gives me a reason to look forward to it.
LOG is life. I love LOG.
Stellar song. Can't wait to hear more🤘🤘
I missing you Chris Addler, my favorite drumer in this life ...
If you need a great drummer to love, there's always Vlad Ulasevich ;)
Jeffrey Fisher art is a beast of drummer stop making you’re dumb nostalgia speak and enjoy the music!
he has a pretty similar style though. in my opinion.
What happened to Chris?
Sounds exactly like Chris to me!!
Years and years later they still have it like damn
Legends never die and lamb of god you’re legends much love ❤️🥹🤘rock on
Holy shit this is so good
"A coup d'état on full display" is the correct way of spelling this french expression.
Ah bah, je me demandais ce qu'il voulait dire avec cela... ça ne me parlait pas le coup de tat. :DD
I didn't know Chris had left until I read all these moaning comments about it not being the same blah blah blah. The songs amazing as are the drums. Get over yourselves and stop bashing a great musician doing a great job on a great new song.
Losers always do that man. I have listened to this band since 8th grade and never thought twice about a drummer.
If you were listening for a drummer, the are hundreds of better ones.
The overall band is what i hear
Right?
@@andrewisjesus TRIGGERED
Hell, yeah, I added this one to my workout playlist.
A breath of fresh air 🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful timing gentlemen
The synonym of Metal is LOG.. There are myriads of other awesome bands, but nothing pleases me more than LOG..
Feels good to be back Lamb of god
Fans: "where's Chris?!"
New dude: "let me refer you to my shirt."
This song sounds very similar to the Ghost Walking Lamb of God album. Pretty solid in their style of tunes
you mean resolution right? ghost walking was the 3rd track on that album
I don't always listen to LOG but when I do; so do the neighbors
Richmond virginia represent!!!
Kinda miss having that classic drum kit sound. Something about a snare that sounds like a tin can on a log song is iconic to me.
Yikes, I just realized the tinny snare is gone. You're right, it does feel weird. It absolutely added a whole new element to Omerta and Now you've got something to die for me.
This just makes me evermore ready for Them and Megadeth!!
This video on tv while on lsd is an experience like no other 🕺🏿
I like to wake up my quiet little neighborhood sometimes when I'm warming up my minivan at 6am with this song turned up to 50 and those drums sounding like a jackhammer to the face coming from my 15" 1000watt subwoofer.! Its like my very own Lamb of God alarm clock!! Been a loyal fan since the days of burn the priest! There ain't nothing better ... thank you for all the greatness you guys put out for us.
Killer tune Great lyrics🤘
I'll wait for the rest of the album. Maybe this will grow on me.
@@asr1143 The first one was Still Echos.
First time I have been drawn in to a Lamb of God song! Bad ass!
DAMN I LOVE THIS
