Lamb of God have unleashed the new song “Parasocial Christ,” a stand-alone single that finds frontman Randy Blythe and company issuing a warning about addictive scrolling.
The new track follows previous stand-alone single “Sepsis,” and comes a few days after Lamb of God announced a Spring 2026 North American tour with stacked support from Kublai Khan TX, Fit for an Autopsy, and Sanguisugabogg. Tickets go on sale to the general public today, November 21st, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.
Regarding the theme of “Parasocial Christ,” Blythe stated, “The Information Age has birthed the attention economy, an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars anchored in keeping eyeballs firmly glued to screens, thus generating ad revenue. Every second spent clicking and scrolling through the trivial and/or sordid details of other people’s lives, people that you will most likely never meet- celebrities, politicians, influencers- is another dollar in some already obscenely wealthy tech bro’s wallet.”

He added, “You are a product, and you are being sold in a marketplace you have no share in. The irony of you reading this on some social media platform or music news aggregator site is not lost on me; nevertheless I hope this song might make you consider who and what you give your attention to. Fuck the clickbait, put down the phone, go live your life — it’s waiting for you out in what’s left of the real world.”
Accompanying the track is a music video directed by Jon Vulpine that depicts a man descending into madness. Watch it below.
