To coincide with the news, Lamb Of God have announced details of a massive U.S. Omens headline tour, with support from special guests Killswitch Engage on all dates. They'll also be joined by Baroness, Motionless In White, Spiritbox, Animals As Leaders, Suicide Silence and Fit For An Autopsy at various shows.

"Two decades ago, Lamb Of God, along with Killswitch Engage, were a part of a new wave of American heavy metal music," says Mark Morton. "Our scene grew from a small, loosely connected network of underground shows in basements and warehouses, into a global phenomenon that helped define an entire generation of modern heavy metal. We are thrilled to announce The Omens Tour, which celebrates not only the perseverance and impact of that original movement, but also the creativity and originality of the bands that it influenced. Heavy metal is alive and well. The Omens Tour proudly showcases the depth and diversity of our scene. This is not a tour to miss."
