FROM ALLAXESS: (WILLIE ADLER-LAMB OF GOD):

A spokesperson for the Czech Republic prison system has revealed that Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe has been released from a Prague jail after more than a month behind bars. A statement can be read below.

“The decision was reached yesterday at the end of a 16-hour closed session. The only condition of release was the approximately 8 million Czech Koruna bail,” spokesperson for the Prague court, Martina Lhotáková stated.
 
Blythe was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by Czech police at the Prague airport on Wednesday, June 27. It is alleged that during a May 24, 2010 Lamb Of God concert, Blythe pushed a 19-year-old fan, who had climbed onstage, back into the audience. The fan lapsed into a coma and died of a bleeding in the brain several days later.
 
According to Blesk.cz, Blythe boarded a direct flight to New York at  1:00 p.m. CEST and is expected to arrive on U.S. soil this afternoon. However, Blythe is not yet in the clear and will have to return to the Czech Republic to face trial.
 
In a statement released earlier today, Martin Radvan, Blythe’s attorney in the Czech Republic stated that the Lamb Of God vocalist has every intention on returning to stand trial. “That’s what he wants t do. As a world-renowned artist, in a specific genre of music, of course, he cannot afford to simply disappear. There are posters with his picture all around the world, and if he wants to continue performing, he will have to return. And he wants to return because he believes he is not guilty of anything he has been charged with.”
 
While Lamb of God’s headlining tour with Dethklok and Gojira has officially been cancelled, the band will be rescheduling these dates for October. Next up for Lamb of God will be Slipknot’s inaugural Knotfest, which takes place August 17 and 18.
 Blythe was released on bail following a 16-hour closed court session where it was decided that the only condition of the singer’s release would be the approximately $400,000 bail he had already paid. He will, however, have to return to the Czech Republic to stand trial for allegedly causing, “bodily harm of the fourth degree, resulting in the death of a fan.”
