Vio-lence Guitarist Phil Demmel to Fill In for Lamb of God on European Tour
When Lamb of God hit Europe this week, they’ll be performing with current Vio-lence/ex-Machine Head guitarist and unofficial Lamb of God fill-in member Phil Demmel.
Demmel, who has filled in on both guitar and bass duties for Lamb of God in the last year, announced the news via Instagram with the caption:
“Next 3 weeks are with these fine folks from Richmond MFing Virginia. Mixing in some Vio-lence as well!! See you soon!!!”
Demmel will be filling in for guitarist Willie Adler; no reason was given for the regular guitarist’s absence on this run. We have to admit, the idea of Lamb of God covering Vio-lence does sound pretty damn interesting.
Lamb of God recently announced their album, Omens, and streamed two tracks—the title track and “Nevermore”—thus far. The album drops on October 7, by which point they’ll be neck deep in a lengthy tour to support the record. Check out the European and US dates (presumably with Adler back in the fold) below.
