Lamb Of God vocalist Randy Blythe has lent his talents for the newly released single “Spirit Liberation” from Richmond, VA crossover doom outfit Mutually Assured Destruction (ex-Break Away/Down To Nothing, etc.). It’s the first single to have made its way online from the band’s forthcoming album “Ascension“, due out May 18th on Triple B Records.
Speaking to Revolver of how this collaborative new track came about, the band’s Ace Stallings commented:
“I do a podcast called Forum of Passion where I interview people involved in hardcore, punk, and metal. When lockdown started I realized Lamb of God wouldn’t be on tour and that Randy might be available to talk with me. We didn’t know each other, but I took a shot in the dark and messaged him to see if he would be down. Much to my surprise he was and we had a great interview.
We struck up a friendship from that and when it came time to record the LP I thought, “LOG is a big influence on us and on the city, it’d be so cool to have him on this”. I sent him a couple tracks to pick from and he was more than happy to work with us. He wrote his own lyrics to his guest spot, came to our studio and busted it out in no more than 15 minutes. He sounds like a legitimate monster on that one. He’s a pro. Having him be a part of Ascension is really special.”
