Randy Blythe, the unmistakable voice of Neo-Thrash titans Lamb of God, has more to offer than guttural roars and stage-shaking anthems. His first memoir, Dark Days, recounts the harrowing story of his arrest, incarceration, and eventual acquittal for manslaughter in the Czech Republic following the accidental death of a fan. Blythe’s unflinching account is raw and gripping, offering readers an intimate look at a deeply personal and tumultuous chapter of his life. The book was hailed for its bravery, honesty, and biting reflections on justice, accountability, and redemption.
Now, Blythe returns with his highly anticipated follow-up, Just Beyond the Light. In his signature everyman-philosopher style, he explores how he maintains a sense of balance and positivity in a world teetering on chaos. Drawing from his own life—sobriety, surfing, art, and decades on the road—Blythe provides a no-nonsense yet hopeful guide to navigating adversity. With humor, heart, and a scathing edge, he reflects on his Southern upbringing, the lessons learned from fallen friends, and his commitment to leaving the world a better place. Just Beyond the Light is both a deeply personal journey and a call to action, proving that even in life’s darkest moments, there’s a way forward.
Just Beyond the Light comes out on February 18th.
