Randy Blythe Book order

Thoreau wrote, "...I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." As well as a writer, Randy Blythe has been a plumber, a percussionist, an editor, a teacher, and a farmer. So it's understandable that a reader will encounter, in The Wish Furnace-Blythe's second full-length collection-abundant evidence that the poems' perceiver, like Thoreau, wants to inhabit every human moment. This is difficult, the reason why a Blythe poem that celebrates belief may be followed by a poem bent on questioning belief's worth. Blythe refuses easy binary thinking when a greater challenge looms. Sometimes labeled "a religious poet," he denies that descriptor, choosing instead to explore matters of existence and spirit simultaneously, with the relentlessness of a born seeker.

The incredible memoir from Lamb of God frontman, Randy Blythe. "My name is D. Randall Blythe, known to most as Randy, and I sing for the internationally renowned, four-time Grammy losing, heavy metal band Lamb of God. For twenty-two years I drank and drugged myself into a semi-legendary state of absolute reckless oblivion. I made people nervous. [Now sober], my life had been going greater than I could ever have imagined for the past two years, and I was a happy man for the first time in many, many moons. But when I woke up that morning, I had no idea all that was about to change." The morning Blythe is referring to is his arrest for manslaughter. Randy was promptly incarcerated in the worst facility in Central Europe on charges carrying a five to ten year term. After a five day trial, he was acquitted on March 5th, 2013. Dark Days is the book heavy metal fans worldwide have been waiting for. In it, Randy tells the story of his incarceration - and his crazy life leading up to it - penned in his own brash, utterly brilliant, deeply emotional words.
