About this listen

From the author of Dark Days and lead singer of long-running extreme metal band, Lamb of God, a riveting and revelatory memoir about self-development and maintaining proper prospective through difficult times

In his gripping, bestselling debut memoir Dark Days, Lamb of God vocalist D. Randall (Randy) Blythe unflinchingly wrote about some of the most harrowing episodes of his past.

Now, in his highly anticipated follow-up Just Beyond the Light, Blythe shares how he works daily to maintain positivity in a world that feels like it is spinning out of control. In his own words, Just Beyond the Light is 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." Written with a scathing balance of hard-edged reality offset by a knowing humor and a razor-sharp wit, voiced in 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 listeners 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 listeners 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.”

Amazing. This is not a musician's book airing out dirty laundry. It's not really even about war stories. It flows like a self-help book mixed in with an AA meeting. Really appreciate how down to earth Randall seems to be. Such a strong start and a very decent mid-section. The last chapter or two went over my head but that is me and not a reflection on the author or the writing. This was worth the investment.
P.S. I really hate the word and usage of 'unprecedented' too.

This book is a great tool to help you put your thoughts into perspective and inspire you to rewire yourself to be the best version of yourself. Randy’s first book was a joy to read, and this title is just the same. Thank you Randy.

After reading his book Dark Days, I got really interested in Randy’s perspective on life. His band has always been my favorite, and after listening to this book, I have really grown to appreciate Randy as a human. He speaks to his audience like a friend, and with great recollection, retells these stories into his past with vivid imagery. It is a great listen, whether you’re a fan of his band, or not. Highly recommend!!!!

Great insight and very well written!
