Dark DaysD. Randall BlytheLabel: Da Capo Press IncDescription: On June 27 2012 the long-running hard-touring and world-renowned metal band lamb of god landed in Prague for their first concert there in two years. Vocalist D. Randall Randy Blythe was looking forward to a few hours offa rare break from the touring grindin which to explore the elegant old city. However a surreal scenario began to play out at the airport as Blythe was detained arrested for manslaughter and taken to Pankrác Prisona notorious 123-year-old institution where the Nazis' torture units had set up camp and where today hundreds of prisoners are housed in claustrophobic sweltering nightmare-inducing conditions.What transpired during Blythe's incarceration trial and eventual acquittal is a rock'n' roll road story unlike any other one that runs the gamut from tragedy to despair to hope and finally to redemption. Blythe is a natural storyteller and his voice drips with cutting humour endearing empathy and soulful insight. Much more than a tour diary or a prison memoir Dark Days is D. Randall Blythe's own story about what went downbefore during and aftertold as only he can.
