Lamb Of God's Randy Blythe Sets Book Release, Reveals Details
. (TeamRock Radio) Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe has admitted he thought writing a book was going to be easy - until he tried. His memoir, Dark Days, will be published on July 14 by DaCapo Press in the US, and then by Random House in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. It details his ordeal in the Czech Republic after being accused and later acquitted of manslaughter, following the death of fan Daniel Nosek at a Lamb Of God show in 2010. Blythe tells The Metal Hammer Show at Australia's Soundwave festival: "Writing a book is a sustained exertion. I thought it was going to be easy - I thought, 'I'm just going to sit down and this stuff is going to flow out.'" Others had warned him about the pitfalls, but he told himself, "that's not going to happen to me." However, he reveals: "In short order I exhibited every writer behavior that I thought I'd avoid, and made fun of. Endless urges to do housework, wash the dishes - the thing I learned is, the hardest part is not the writing itself. It's making yourself sit in the chair." The work was completed when he finally realised he couldn't write on the road, or even at home. "I had to leave the city and be by myself," he says. "I tried to write on tour and that did not work. Some people can write in public." Read more here. TeamRock Radio is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
