Lamb of God have unleashed the official music video for ‘St. Catherine’s Wheel’, the latest single from their freshly released album ‘Into Oblivion’.
The Virginia metal heavyweights dropped their 10th studio album, ‘Into Oblivion’, last Friday (March 13th), and they’re wasting no time keeping the momentum rolling, just days after the record hit streaming platforms and vinyl presses, the band returned with a new visual companion for one of the album’s standout tracks.
The video for ‘St. Catherine’s Wheel’ was directed by Meriel O’Connell, delivering a stark visual backdrop to the track’s grinding riffs and Blythe’s unmistakable roar.

While Lamb of God have never shied away from tackling darker themes, frontman Randy Blythe says this song is rooted in something more collective than personal rage (per Metal Sucks):
“The last line of ‘St. Catherine’s Wheel’ is ‘these savage days can’t break us’ and I use the term ‘us’ very specifically… I think community is going to become incredibly valuable in the next few years.”
It’s a sentiment that cuts straight through the modern metal landscape, Lamb of God have always thrived on the idea of the pit as a shared space, where thousands of strangers move as one violent, sweaty organism. Blythe’s message leans into that same idea, just aimed at a much wider world.
Built across three cities
‘Into Oblivion’ came together in pieces across several locations tied closely to the band’s history.
Drums were recorded in Lamb of God’s hometown of Richmond, Virginia, while guitars and bass were tracked at guitarist Mark Morton’s home studio, Blythe’s vocals were laid down at Total Access Studio in Redondo Beach, California, a room steeped in punk and hardcore history.
The legendary space has hosted recordings from Black Flag, Descendents, and Hüsker Dü, adding another layer of grit to the album’s DNA, longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur handled both production and mixing duties, continuing a partnership that has helped shape the band’s modern sound.
