"Mark Morton's riffs are bruising at this slower pace, the bass tone is filthy, and Randy Blythe reaches to a deep register that has him bellowing like a heavy metal Nick Cave. Aside from a brief blasty bit, they maintain this crushing mid-to-slow tempo - like something Crowbar would play - and wear this style well."
"'Sepsis' is a celebration of the very underground local bands here in Richmond that we really admired when we were just forming Burn the Priest," stated Morton. "Bands like Breadwinner, Sliang Laos, and Ladyfinger-though they never got widespread attention outside of Richmond, those were the bands we listened to all the time. The song references that stuff in a way that's a direct line to where we were coming from when we were in the basement writing our earliest material together."
Lamb of God released "Sepsis," a noticeably sludgy, slower track that shifts the band’s typical pace. Mark Morton delivers bruising riffs at the reduced tempo while the bass tone remains filthy and commanding. Randy Blythe reaches into a deep register, producing bellowing vocals reminiscent of a heavy, gothic timbre. The song sustains a crushing mid-to-slow tempo with only a brief blasty section, channeling a Crowbar-like heaviness. The lyrics pay direct tribute to Richmond underground bands such as Breadwinner, Sliang Laos, and Ladyfinger. Honorable mentions include Morbikon's "Heavens That Burn and Eons Divided" and Show Me the Body's "Sabotage."
