New Lamb Of God Song Inspired By Something Blythe Saw In Prison (A Top Story)


.
On Tuesday New Lamb Of God Song Inspired By Something Blythe Saw In Prison was a top story. Here is the recap: (TeamRock Radio) Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe doesn't expect to achieve closure from his Prague prison ordeal. And he's revealed the inspiration for latest track Still Echoes was a Nazi guillotine he saw during his confinement in 2012, while awaiting trial for manslaughter following the death of fan Daniel Nosek two years previously.

The song appears on upcoming Lamb Of God album VII:Sturm Und Drang, announced last week. Blythe tells Rolling Stone: "There was a guillotine right down the hall from me, from when the Nazis had the prison. From 1943 to 1945 they executed almost 2000 people by guillotine - because it was cheaper than shooting and quicker than hanging.

"They call it the saw room or the axe room. I sat there at night and I'd think about all those dudes that got their heads chopped off, men and women, in that place not too far from me."

His lyrics were also inspired by his research into the 120-year-old establishment, which he describes as "f***ed up." He adds: "Parts of it look like downtown Detroit - broken windows and abandoned stuff. So the song is a history of the repression the Czech people have undergone." Read more - here.
