Lamb of God Release “Omerta (Justin K Broadrick Remix)” Lyric Video as Ashes of the Wake (20th Anniversary Edition) Out Now

 

Lamb of God’s Ashes of the Wake (20th Anniversary Edition), featuring new mixes of classic tracks like “Laid To Rest” and “Omerta” by HEALTH and Justin K Broadrick, respectively, along with an enhanced version of “Another Nail For Your Coffin” with guest vocals from Malevolence‘s Alex Taylor and Kublai Khan TX’s Matt Honeycutt, is out now via Epic Records and Legacy Recordings.

The album’s release is accompanied by a lyric video for Justin K Broadrick’s (Godflesh/Jesu) reimagined version of “Omerta” (https://lambofgod.lnk.to/OmertaLyricVideo). “Since the release of Godflesh’s landmark 1989 debut album, Streetcleaner, I’ve been a fan of the beautifully abrasive sounds Justin Broadrick has unleased,” Randy Blythe shares. “To have this groundbreaking artist remix my personal favorite song from Ashes of the Wake is beyond wild to me.”

In a recent Revolver x Lamb of God special issue, Blythe explained that the song title refers to “the old-School Sicilian Cosa Nostra code of silence,” and adding, “that aspect of ‘handle your own shit’ is very attractive to me, especially in this insane, litigious, whiny society we live in.”
