LAMB OF GOD

 More from this Band



"My name is D. Randall Blythe, known to most as Randy, and I sing for the internationally renowned, four-time Grammy losing, heavy metal band lamb of god. For twenty-two years I drank and drugged myself into a semi-legendary state of absolute reckless oblivion. I made people nervous. [Now sober], my life had been going greater than I could ever have imagined for the past two years, and I was a happy man for the first time in many, many moons. But when I woke up that morning, I had no idea all that was about to change.”
 
The morning of his arrest Randy Blythe was in Prague for another lamb of god concert.
 
Upon arrival he was promptly arrested on charges of manslaughter, carrying a prison term of five to ten years. With no recollection or knowledge of who he was meant to have killed, Randy was sent to a Czech prison.
 
What follows is an incredible journey to face the charges, clear his name and to help find the anwers the grieving family of a dead young man hoped he might provide.
 
This is his story of incarceration and the wild life that led up to it."
 
In 2010, a nineteen-year-old super-fan rushed the stage during a Lamb of God concert in Prague. To protect himself, singer Randy Blythe pushed the fan away. Unbeknownst to Blythe, the young man hit his head on the floor when he fell and later died from the injury. Blythe was promptly incarcerated on charges carrying a prison term of five to ten years. Thirty-seven days later, he was released on bail to await trial. Although legal experts told him not to return to the Czech Republic to face the charges, Blythe explained that he “could not run away from this problem while the grieving family of a dead young man searched hopelessly for answers that [he] might help provide.”
 
After a five-day trial, he was acquitted on March 5, 2013.
 
In Dark Days, Blythe tells the story of his incarceration and the wild life that led up to it. As he explains, “Most substance abuse books end with the author getting sober. My book starts there.”
