Randy Blythe wants to read something to Metal Hammer. He’s just returned from the back of his sunlit office with a copy of his most recent book, Just Beyond The Light. He holds it up to the camera of his computer. A pithy, two-line epigram is visible.

“You tell me that nothing matters,” the Lamb Of God singer begins, his slightly nasal voice at odds with the fearsome roar that rips from his larynx on record and onstage. “You’re just fucking scared. You tell me that I make no difference. At least I’m fucking trying.”
