Lamb Of God’s Manager Confirms Randy Blythe’s Latest Bail Challenge, Fate Of Bands U.S. Tour In Peril

Lamb Of God manager Larry Mazer has confirmed today’s news that Randy Blythe‘s recently-doubled bail of $400,000 USD is once again being challenged by the prosecution. This latest turn of events of course puts the fate of the bands upcoming tour with Dethklok and Gojira at risk.

Speaking with WTVR.com, Mazer revealed that he didn’t have an exact estimate as to when Blythe will see a release; though he did say that he doesn’t expect it to be within the six days before the tours scheduled August 01st kick off. In turn, according to the article, an official statement regarding the fate of the tour will be made tomorrow, July 26th.

Blythe has remained in custody in Prague, Czech Republic for nearly a month on suspicion of manslaughter. The potential charges stem from the fatal injuries suffered by a 19 year old fan who attended a 2010 show the group played in Prague. The fan repeatedly took to the stage and had numerous interactions with Blythe (and security guards,) most of which were captured on film.

Thus far the prosecution in the case has repeatedly blocked Blythe‘s attempts at bail. This latest challenge appears to be the final complaint they are able to file against Blythe‘s release. They will be granted a few days to to provide enough new evidence to convince the court to have Blythe remanded in custody or he will be let out on bail. A final decision on the matter will likely be made sometime next week.

      If this was a sports star, the United Stats government would have already stepped in to ensure the Czech government wasn’t allowed to screw them over. Because Blythe is a musician, particularly a non-pop musician, the government does not care. I hate politics.

    • the U.S.courts will not step in… how is that relevant? he isn’t going to get let out soon. he’s just another person to the courts in czech, and not “Rnady blythe from omg Lamb of God.” This is just like the Amanda Knox case where he will be incarcerated for four years until they watch that youtube footage we all saw like 3 weeks ago and then get off innocent.

      I don’t even care for Randy but this is just ridiculous. I give him credit for wanting to clear his name and battle out the courts but if it was me I would honestly skip town if I had the chance and just never tour Europe again.

      I hope the prosecutors get sued for all they have due to the wasted work that went into developing this tour, honestly I hope the prosecutors get raped and tortured .
