LAMB OF GOD Frontman Randy Blythe To Release Memoir About His Time In Czech Prison

Randy Blythe has had a whirlwind year, spending the majority of last summer in a Czech prison and eventually being exonerated of all charges related to the death of a Lamb of God fan at a Czech concert in 2010.

During his time in prison, Blythe made sure to write a lot, and from the long essays that Blythe has released on his Tumblr, he has proven to be a great storyteller. Now, his memoirs from prison will see the light of the day in the form of a new book release.

Blythe just secured a book deal with De Capo Press to release a memoir which, according to the press release, "puts emphasis on the past year of his life," namely his time in a Czech prison. Blythe released this quote on the book deal:

“While I've dreamed of being a published author almost since I began to read, I never imagined my first book would center around such a sad topic. Sometimes though, life unexpectedly provides you a story that needs to be told,” states Blythe. “I believe this one does (for several different reasons, not just for the benefit of myself), so I will tell it with the respect and dignity all involved deserve. This will be a good read, I promise you, and I hope some good comes of it.”

The release is expected sometime in the spring of 2014. Blythe is writing this one solo, with no help from a ghost writer or anything.

I am very excited to read this one!
