The surprise release follows the band's highlight set from their performance at Back to the Beginning. 

Following the band's rousing set at Birmingham's Villa Park for Ozzy's farewell at Back to the Beginning, Lamb of God have unveiled a studio version of their rendition of the Black Sabbath classic, "Children of the Grave". The band first debuted the track live during their set, performing with the likes of Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Slayer, Mastodon as part of celebration for Ozzy's final-ever performance. 

“Lamb of God being invited to perform with Black Sabbath at their final show is one of the greatest honours of our career,” shared Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton. “As an offering to the celebration, we’ve recorded our take on their classic ‘Children Of The Grave,’ a protest song with lyrics that are as relevant today as they were in 1971 when the original was released. 

Black Sabbath invented heavy metal and in doing so, they changed the world. This genre that they created brings immeasurable joy to fans all over the world. We are so grateful to have the heavy metal community to call our home, and so grateful to Black Sabbath for the gift of their music that they’ve given to all of us.”

 

The standalone single precedes the band's current work on their tenth studio album which follows Lamb of God's lauded 2022 LP, Omens. The album marked the band's sixth consecutive Top 15 debut on the Billboard 200 in and secured the #1 spot on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart.

Lamb of God's rendition of Black Sabbath's "Children of the Grave" is now available via preferred DSPs. Stream the cover - HERE
