Randy Blythe, frontman with Lamb Of God, has said that the band will release a new album in the early part of next year.
The US metal titans are planning to release the new LP around the same time as Blythe’s book on his Czech manslaughter trial ordeal.
Speaking in interview with Jamey Jasta, Blythe said: “The new album and the book will be released in the early part of next year, close together. It’s hard to say with the record because we haven’t written it yet – but the book is almost done.”
Blythe’s book about his trial for manslaughter in the Czech Republic, Dark Days: My Tribulation And Trials, is set to appear via Da Capo Press, beginning with Blythe’s arrest in the Czech Republic in 2012 following the death of fan Daniel Nosek two years previously. It will cover his weeks behind bars, his trial and final acquittal.
But Blythe says: “There’s no fucking lesson. People are like, ‘It’s so cool you learned from your mistakes.’ That’s bullshit. The only thing that happens is a tragedy – there was a dead kid.”
“There’s people who’ve been through worse, definitely; but it was not a good experience. Writing the book helped me process it a lot.”
