Lamb Of God Changed Their Logo Because It Looked “Like a Falafel Restaurant Menu”

Something you may have noticed when Lamb Of God announced their forthcoming album Into Oblivion was the sudden change in the band’s logo. Having used the same look for years and years, the sudden switch to a more modern, stark looking logo might have stood out to long-time fans. And according to frontman Randy Blythe, the change was a deliberate one.

During his recent appearance on the Hardlore podcast, Blythe said the decision to change the logo after nearly three decades was a long time coming.

“Our logo, to be perfectly honest, needed changing. It’s the papyrus font. Had we known 20-whatever years ago that we would wind up looking like a falafel restaurant menu, we wouldn’t have used that.”

Now that he mentions it, I never noticed that you could write the logos from the Avatar movie series. Ryan Gosling probably hated the shit out of that logo. This new logo sort of reflects the new direction the band’s going with Into Oblivion, that’s for sure.

In addition, Blythe said the writing process for the new record saw the band’s members set aside their egos after years of trying to do so and work toward making all effort spent benefitting the band as a whole.

“When you’re a younger band… writing was very contentious. Somehow in our old age, as we wander off into Alzheimer’s-riddled legacy territory, we’ve learned to get along better than we ever did.”

To that end, guitarist Mark Morton said this new album benefits immensely from that shared creative freedom.

“For me, the album is about having the space to breathe creatively and not feeling like we have to keep up with any trend or expectation. Let’s just make music that we think is cool — which is really where it all started.”

Into Oblivion will be released on March 13 via Epic Records, but you can preorder your copy today. Lamb of God are also going to be headlining a killer tour with Kublai Khan TX, Fit For An Autopsy, and Sanguisugabogg in the not too distant future.
