Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe is set to launch his highly anticipated sophomore memoir, “JUST BEYOND THE LIGHT: Making Peace With the Wars Inside Our Head” on February 18 via Grand Central Publishing/Hachette Book Group. To celebrate its upcoming release, he recently expanded his North American book tour to 15 dates.
The “evening with” event includes a spoken word performance, an audience Q&A session, a copy of “Just Beyond the Light”, and the opportunity for a signing of the book. Tickets for the newly announced dates are available HERE.
Blythe shared: “I’m stoked to hit the road in support of my new book, ‘Just Beyond the Light’ – this will be my first solo tour, and without a band behind me, what can people expect? Well, a little bit of book talk… and a bunch of insane stories from my whacked-out life, obviously. I’ll also be answering some questions and signing stuff after – see ya there, ladies & gents!”
Blythe’s first memoir, “Dark Days”, focused on his personal story, reminiscing on the highs and lows of his life. With “Just Beyond the Light”, Blythe shares how he tries to remain positive in a chaotic, unpredictable world. He stated that “Just Beyond the Light” is a "tight, concise roadmap of how I have attempted to maintain what I believe to be a proper perspective in life, even during difficult times”. Sharing stories from his childhood to his life as a successful metal artist, Blythe discusses the importance of mental health and reassures readers that inner peace is possible, even when things seem hopeless.
“For me, the single most gratifying aspect of being an artist is learning that your work has been useful to others in some way. I’ve been told by lots of readers that my last book, ‘Dark Days,’ helped them- I hope ‘Just Beyond the Light’ does the same,” says Blythe about his upcoming memoir.
“Just Beyond the Light” preorders are available HERE.
