It was recently revealed that Willie Adler, rhythm guitarist for platinum-certified groove metal outfit Lamb Of God, would once again be sitting out the Virginian band’s immediate international touring plans this year. As was the case this past January, Vio-lence, ex-Machine Head, etc. guitarist Phil Demmel has been recruited to cover for him as the band make their way across Europe this month on the below run of dates.
Earlier this year, Demmel‘s Vio-lence bandmate Sean Killian revealed that Demmel was recruited as a result of Adler allegedly being reluctant to receive a COVID-19 vaccine—a requirement for international touring. In a new statement issued overnight by Lamb Of God, Adler commented on his absence from this month’s touring, offering:
“Hey everyone. I’m thrilled with the love we’ve been seeing for the two new Lamb songs we’ve dropped so far. I can’t wait for everyone to hear the entire ‘Omens‘ album. We’re all super proud of it. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make the trip to Europe for the upcoming shows this month, I’ve got some things that I need to be home for and I appreciate the band supporting my decision.
I will 100% be back on stage for the Omens tour in September & October. See y’all there!
–Willie“
