LAMB OF GOD frontman D. Randall “Randy” Blythe has announced three spoken-word and question-and-answer events to promote his upcoming book, **”Just Beyond The Light: Making Peace With The Wars Inside Our Head.”** Due on February 18, 2025 via **Grand Central Publishing** (**GCP**), **”Just Beyond The Light”** is described by the singer as 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.”
Says **Randy**: “Excited to announce that I’ll be doing a few ‘**Just Beyond The Light**’ spoken word + Q&A events in Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago. Each ticket will include a copy of my new book **”Just Beyond The Light”** and the event will conclude with a book signing.”
The dates are as follows:
Feb. 19 – Underground Arts – Philadelphia, PA
Feb. 23 – The Center for Arts at the Armory – Somerville, MA

In his hit, bestselling memoir, **”Dark Days“**, **Blythe** unflinchingly wrote about some of the most harrowing episodes of his past. Now, in his highly anticipated follow-up, **Blythe** shares how he works daily to maintain positivity in a world that feels like it is spinning out of control. Written with a scathing balance of hard-edged reality offset by a knowing humor and a razor-sharp wit, voiced in his inimitable, conversational, everyman-philosopher style, **Blythe** clearly breaks down his approach to life, which is a personal and idiosyncratic mix of sobriety, art, and surfing. He writes movingly of his childhood in the South, of fallen friends, of what he’s learned touring the world as the vocalist of a successful heavy metal band, and of the very real ways he is doing what he can to leave the world a better place. Above all, he offers readers hope that balance, real balance, is possible, even (or especially) when things seem hopeless.
Compelling, compassionate, and refreshingly honest, **”Just Beyond The Light”** ultimately reminds readers that ‘as long as we keep our feet (and minds) planted firmly on the ground that is reality, the sky isn’t falling — it never has been, and it never will.”
**Blythe** says: “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.”

Superman: The Suit’s Hidden Flaw and a Very Revealing Dust Bunny
