About this ebook
The incredible memoir from Lamb of God frontman, Randy Blythe.
In 2010, a nineteen-year-old super-fan rushed the stage during a Lamb of God concert in Prague. To protect himself, singer Randy Blythe pushed the fan away. Unbeknownst to Blythe, the young man hit his head on the floor when he fell and later died from the injury. Blythe was promptly incarcerated on charges carrying a prison term of five to ten years. Thirty-seven days later, he was released on bail to await trial. Although legal experts told him not to return to the Czech Republic to face the charges, Blythe explained that he “could not run away from this problem while the grieving family of a dead young man searched hopelessly for answers that [he] might help provide.”
After a five-day trial, he was acquitted on March 5, 2013.
In Dark Days, Blythe tells the story of his incarceration and the wild life that led up to it. As he explains, “Most substance abuse books end with the author getting sober. My book starts there.”

This opened my eyes to how I perceived people. Randy is nothing like I imagined. His word hit home, the people he met and how they interacted was so humbling. Rest in piece Daniel, sorry this happened.

Brilliant book. I am a fan of lamb of god and followed the events as it was going on but this is a more in depth and first hand account of it all and definitely worth the read!
