LAMB OF GOD have brought in VIO-LENCE guitarist Phil Demmel to fill in for guitarist Willie Adler on this year’s ShipRocked cruise, which set sail from Galveston, Texas on January 22.
The reasons for Adler’s absence from the cruise have not been disclosed.
Carnival Cruise Lines currently have their ‘Have Fun Be Safe’ protocols and procedures in effect which requires that guests are fully vaccinated with a negative test result before boarding the ship. There has been speculation that Adler’s COVID-19 vaccination status could be the reason for his exclusion from LAMB OF GOD’s appearance on this year’s ShipRocked.
You can checkout fan-filmed footage of LAMB OF GOD performing “Redneck” from the band’s January 24 performance aboard the Carnival Breeze ship below.
LAMB OF GOD’s latest, self-titled album was released in June 2020 via Epic Records in the U.S. and Nuclear Blast Records in Europe.
