Richmond’s Lamb of God has released the second single off their upcoming album VII: Sturm Und Drang, and you can check it out below:

An official music video for the track, directed by Jorge Torres-Torres, is coming soon.

The new album, VII: Sturm Und Drang (German for “storm and stress”), is set to drop in July 24, 2015 via Epic Records.

“512” is the second single released so far, behind “Still Echoes” released late last month.

The full track listing for the album is the top image on this post.

A number of songs on the new record deal directly with LoG front man’s Randy Blythe and his time spent in a Prague prison after a fan died at one of their shows.

Blythe told Billboard.com:

First single “Still Echoes,” which started streaming from LambOfGodVII.com on May 15, is “a lyrical sort of history of Pankrac Prison and kind of a commentary on the state of the place right now and how it’s running,” he explains. The other “is about the extreme psychic change a person undergoes when they are incarcerated possibly for the long term, because it’s not like being in normal society at all.”

You can pick up ‘Still Echoes’ over on iTunes here.

And you should be able to catch Lamb of God when they go on tour at one of these two shows:

Aug 11 – Jiffy Lube Live – Washington, DC – TICKETS

Aug 12 – Farm Bureau Live – Virginia Beach, VA – TICKETS
