If there’s one beverage that has as much of a foothold in the metal world as beer, it’s coffee. Sure, getting liquored up is fun, but without coffee, 99% of the music we all love simply wouldn’t have happened. Now, metal legends Lamb of God have decided to get in on the roast game, announcing today that they’ll be releasing their own coffee collaboration.
The band, in collaboration with Nightflyer Roastworks, will be dropping a small-batch single-origin coffee roast named ‘Momento Mori,’ which will be grown in El Salvador and roasted in North Carolina. The meeting of the minds occurred between LoG’s Willie Adler, a longtime coffee aficionado, and Nightflyer founder Paul Waggoner, who most metal fans will know as the guitarist of Between The Buried And Me.
More info about Lamb of God’s ‘Momento Mori’ can be found at the coffee’s website.

Honestly, there are few bands for whom a coffee roast would be more appropriate than Lamb of God, as frontman Randy Blythe has been a champion of the stuff since he got sober. That said, he also has to be careful, as he’s admittedly burned his penis with piping hot coffee in the past. No, seriously, that’s a thing:t
Meanwhile, Lamb of God are already looking to the future in terms of playing live. They’ve rescheduled their tours dates with Megadeth for 2021, saying in a joint statement, “We are excited to share the new 2021 dates for the ‘Metal Tour of the Year.’ All tickets will be honored for the new rescheduled dates. If you are a ticket holder and cannot make the new show, you will receive an email directly allowing you to request a refund.
