Lamb of God – Album Tour Visuals

Animated Stage Content Based on Original Album Art | Live Metal Tour Aesthetic

Overview

For Lamb of God’s album tour, I was commissioned by We Are Hive to create animated stage visuals that brought the band’s original album artwork to life. The goal was to retain the grit and impact of the original illustrations, while transforming them into dynamic, motion-driven content that could drive the energy of a full live metal performance.

Role & Tools

Role: Animator, Visual Designer
Tools Used: Cinema 4D, After Effects, Photoshop

Visual Style & Concept

The band’s album art is known for its dark, layered, textural aesthetic—I deconstructed these elements, rebuilt them in 3D, and added camera movement, parallax depth, and visual effects to create a series of animated environments. The visuals were designed to sync with the band’s setlist, moving between intense buildup sequences and breakdowns that matched the music’s aggressive pacing.

The animation style remained true to the tone of the original artwork, preserving its hand-crafted feel while adding motion, scale, and energy for the LED screen format.

Process Highlights

  • Translated static album illustrations into animated 2.5D compositions.

  • Used parallax techniques and layered textures to enhance depth on large LED displays.

  • Timed visuals to match tempo shifts and key moments in the band’s performance.

  • Delivered optimized visual assets for multi-panel LED playback across tour venues.
