RVA’s own Lamb of God returned this year with a new album which means a slew of other new awesome things like videos and (thankfully) local performances.

For the ‘new vides’ category we’ve got “EMBERS” which dropped this week exclusively at Noisey
According to the Vice-run blog, “Embers” is about a tragic loss for guitarist Mark Morton:
…my wife and I found ourselves in a small corner of a neonatal intensive care unit, holding and caressing our first born infant daughter. The ambient hum of medical machinery droned in the background and a panoramic window framing the Shenandoah Mountains sprawled out in front of my new family and I. We gazed lovingly over every detail of our daughter’s face, every freckle on her skin, cataloging every sound and smell the way all new parents do. The difference was that our child had developed an infection during delivery. She was very, very sick and her prognosis hadn’t yet been determined. Later that day, our daughter Madalyn Grace Morton died in my arms. We were walking through Hell. Life was imitating art.
You can see the narrative live out in “Embers” above, and read the rest of the story over at Noisey here.
And if you dig the video or their new record, VII: Sturm und Drang, you can catch the band live when they take the GWAR B Q stage on 8/20 (Snag tickets here).
