Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe has taken the time to speak about his upcoming live performance with Cannabis Corpse next month. Speaking through his Twitter, he stated:
“On Jan 7th here in Richmond at the Canal Club there will be a benefit/memorial show with all proceeds going to the Cory Smoot Family fund. As most of you know, Cory was the guitarist in GWAR who passed away recently, & was a friend of mine who recorded my guest vocals on the Jasta cd.
He leaves a pregnant wife behind (their first child) and a mortgage. If you are in the area please come out & support this show-Cory didn’t have life insurance & his wife is going to need every penny she can get with a kid on the way & bills to pay. Although GWAR is relatively large band, & are doing all they can for Mrs. Smoot, the fact of the matter nobody is rich & times will be hard.
My friends in Cannabis Corpse were scheduled to play the benefit show, but suddenly are having line up difficulties (lost the singer). So what the fuck & why not? Jan 7th @ Canal Club in RVA Cannabis Corpse WILL play- but I will be singing! Come check out some brutal death metal for a good cause! I’ll be working on my death metal voice til then, pretending to smoke weed & getting deeper than fuck. BLAZE OF TORMENT!”
As previously reported, Blythe will be temporarily filling in for Cannabis Corpse on vocals at their January 07th set at the Canal Club in Richmond, VA. The set will be part of a tribute show to fallen Gwar guitarist Cory Smoot and will also serve as the release show for his solo album.
