FROM RANDY BLYTHE (LAMB OF GOD): 

 

I am very proud to announce that for the SECOND TIME, I am officially a bestselling author! My new book, Just Beyond the Light, made the Publisher’s Weekly nonfiction bestseller’s list, debuting at #15 out of the top 25 nonfiction books for sale in the country. I cannot thank everybody that bought a copy of Just Beyond the Light enough!

Interestingly enough, once again, I was denied a spot on a certain other bestsellers list, even though just like with my first book, Dark Days, I outsold several books on their “bestseller” list. According to BookScan,the gold-standard data service that tracks actual weekly retail sales of trade print books in the US, this time I outsold the ENTIRE BOTTOM HALF of their list, slots #8-15. That’s not one or two of the bottom of the list, that’s HALF the list. That’s ok though- I did not expect them to give it to me anyway. After all, I am a singer in a heavy metal band, and there for am looked at as a caveman— I am used to condescending attitudes. This is slightly irritating, but I know the numbers…

Regardless, I don’t write books for “prizes” or places on lists, just like I don’t write music for trophies or chart placements. I do this because I am AN ARTIST, and I do this to hear stories like this one told to me by a man with tears in his eyes at a signing the other night:

“I had tried to kill myself, and was in a mental hospital. I could not name you a single lamb of god song, but they had your book Dark Days in there. I read it, and it helped me put my own struggles in perspective. I cannot thank you enough- it helped get out of a very dark place. It still helps me today.”

THAT is why I do that I do. To hear THAT, & to know that I have made a difference in someone’s life. Right now is a very scary & fucked up time in the world. Let’s stay present and hold each other up, ok?

Because in the end, WE are all WE have.

The tour rolls on. See you tonight, Joliet- I’m so looking forward to being PRESENT with y’all.

Hails-

Randy
