Lamb of God - Armory - Minneapolis MN - March 24th 2026

Live Nation presents Lamb of God with special guests Kublai Khan TX, Fit for an Autopsy and Snagulsugabogg

Review and photos by Kyle Hansen

Sanguisugabogg — raw, ugly, effective

Sanguisugabogg opened the night with no subtlety whatsoever.

Their set felt like being thrown into a basement show and scaled up to 8,000 people:

Filthy, down-tuned riffs
Caveman grooves
Almost no stage banter

The sound was intentionally murky, leaning into their aesthetic. While that cost them some clarity in the Armory’s cavernous space, it didn’t matter—the pit started immediately.

Highlight: sheer brutality of their slower breakdown sections
Weakness: mix clarity got lost at times

Verdict: A chaotic, unapologetic opener that set a grimy foundation.

I was running late so no photos, sorry.

Fit for an Autopsy — precision and weight

Fit for an Autopsy followed with a tight, punishing set that felt like a massive step up in polish.

Where Sanguisugabogg were raw, FFAA were:

Controlled
Layered
Emotionally heavy

Songs like “Warfare” and “Far From Heaven” brought dynamic contrast, giving the audience moments to breathe before slamming them again.

The band’s ability to blend atmosphere with brutality made them feel bigger than a support act.

Highlight: “Far From Heaven” closing—huge emotional resonance
Verdict: One of the strongest opening slots of the night; they converted a lot of new fans.

Kublai Khan TX — pure violence, no brakes

Kublai Khan TX took the energy and spiked it into overdrive.

This was the turning point where the night went from “heavy show” to total chaos:

Constant crowd killing and hardcore dancing
Frontman Matt Honeycutt commanding the room like a drill sergeant
Zero downtime between songs

Their set felt shorter than it was because it was so relentless. The pit wasn’t just moving—it was exploding in every direction.

Highlight: “The Hammer” (live, it hits like a truck)
Verdict: The most physically intense set of the night.

Lamb of God — controlled destruction

By the time Lamb of God took the stage, the Armory was fully packed and primed.

They didn’t rush in—they built anticipation, then detonated.

Stage & production

Massive lighting rig with strobes synced to breakdowns
Clean, powerful mix—every instrument cut through
Visuals that enhanced, not distracted

Performance

Frontman Randy Blythe was in top form:

Constant movement
Strong crowd engagement
Seamless transitions between songs

The band sounded surgically tight, balancing groove and aggression with veteran confidence.

Setlist feel

A well-balanced mix of:

Classics (“Laid to Rest,” “Redneck”)
Mid-era staples
Newer material that held its own live

The biggest moments came from the groove-driven tracks, where the entire floor moved in unison—less chaotic than Kublai Khan TX, but far more massive.
