Grammy-nominated metal masters Lamb of God have surprise-released an official studio recording of their cover of Black Sabbath's “Children Of The Grave.”

 

The group debuted their charging, timely cover of the iconic Black Sabbath song live last night during their appearance at BACK TO THE BEGINNING, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s heavily anticipated final show. During the historical evening, which took place at Birmingham's Villa Park, Lamb of God celebrated Ozzy and Sabbath’s legacy alongside a who’s-who of their peers, including Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Tool, and recent tourmates Mastodon, before a final bow from Ozzy and Black Sabbaththemselves.

 

“Lamb of God being invited to perform with Black Sabbath at their final show is one of the greatest honours of our career,”

says lead 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.”
