Lamb of God are currently on the final string of dates for Resolution with a European tour, and unfortunately, they are one man down. Guitarist Mark Morton has been forced to sit out the tour due to a "family emergency" but the band have lined up a killer replacement.

Frontman Randy Blythe issued the following statement on the band's Facebook page:

"You may have noticed Mr. Mark Morton is not here with us tonight. He had a family emergency, so he had to stay home. It's family first for this band. We apologize, but he had to be with his family. Luckly, we have a very big music family, so we've got our friend Paul Waggoner from Between The Buried And Me"

That's quite the replacement. Lamb of God have had some good luck with fill-ins. A few months ago, bassist John Campbell was forced to miss a few shows and they lined up Matt DeVries of Fear Factory.

Hopefully, everything will work out for Mark and his family and he'll be back kicking ass soon.

As for Paul Waggoner, looks like he fits in just fine:
