Noisey is currently running a feature on Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe, the majority of which focuses on Blythe's love of photography. He does, however, offer some insight into the band's future plans and on how he's adjusting to life following his incarceration in the Czech Republic in 2012.

Blythe: "Lamb of God is playing a bunch of big gigs this year, and sooner or later we’ll write an album. What the guys have been writing sounds pretty monstrous thus far. In the immediate we’re going to Soundwave in Australia in February, which will be warm and awesome. It’ll be our third Soundwave. Going to Indonesia after that for a few days, hopefully I’ll get some time to surf. We’ll be doing some bigger gigs in the summer too. We had to take some time off because the tour cycle took about three years, like writing recording touring, and then I got arrested. The whole legal thing took over a year of my life, during which we toured in the states and afterwards we finished up the touring cycle. It was a rough, rough year so thank god it’s behind me." 

"So, we got done touring South Africa in January and I started working on my book, which should come out sometime in 2015, it’s being edited now. It’s a book called Dark Days, which is basically about what happened over in the Czech Republic. My editor sent me back the manuscript, so I have to approve edit that by January. So that should be out sometime in the summer maybe, not sure how long it’s gonna take."

In a recent episode of The Jasta Show, Jamey Jasta sits down with Randy Blythe from Lamb Of God. They discuss Gwar B-Q, Dave Brockie, Jello Biafra , staying sober, prison, Randy's love of literature, Randy announces writing his upcoming book, the wall of Death at Ozzfest, and the writing of Redneck.

Randy on sobriety and getting sober on tour: “I was writing about drinking in my book, I address it quite a bit. It stopped working the last night I got drunk. It worked when I got to a place where everything that bothered me was shutdown. I drink because I didn’t like many things about myself and many things about the world. I didn’t want to cope with that.”

Randy on Barricades, what he learned from the events in the Czech Republic, and if there was a life lesson: “No there was no fucking lesson just tragedy. A dead fucking kid. Though I caught a bullet. It was bound to happen to someone. The barricade at that show was non-existent. The security is non-existent. If I were to do it again I would have stopped the show.”

Randy on his book’s subject matter: “Basically in starts the second I am arrested and it will finish at the end of the trial. It will tell day by day exactly what prison was like. Though the events at that story is just the framework that carries the book along and lets me talk about whatever I want to talk about because I go back and forth in time a lot.”

Randy on the book’s writing process: “I have been writing my book for a while but the majority of my book has been written since January. It will be released early part of next year along with the new Lamb of God record…I started writing lyrics for the next record in prison.”

Randy Blythe has an Art Exhibit running May to June 2015 in New York at the Sacred Arts Gallery. The Jasta Show podcast is available for free via the official Jamey Jasta website.
