Randy Blythe Trial May Have A Verdict Tomorrow
According to WTRV, the Randy Blythe (singer of Lamb Of God) trial has begun again in the Czech Republic after a month-long adjournment due to three witnesses not being present. The first was a girl who was in attendance at the 2010 show where 19-year old Daniel Nosek suffered a head injury that later led to his death. The other two are expert witnesses, one a criminal psychologist and one a criminal psychiatrist. All three took the stand earlier today in court and offered their views.
The girl, Anna Rozsivalova, stated that she was standing close to the stage and “…described the audience as being crazy“. Rozsivalova also added, “Daniel Nosek attempted to climb the barrier to get onto the stage, but as he was pulling himself up, Blythe lifted him by the shoulders and pushed him off with two hands, from the front. She said Daniel Nosek fell backwards, and people moved away to avoid being hit.”
Read on for more information.
The criminal psychologist, Tereza Soukupova (who was appointed by the court), stated that “…Blythe, during tests, demonstrated he had problems controlling his emotions,” adding that “…these features “were not deep” and that he was not mentally ill, but that he doesn’t take enough responsibility for his own actions, sometimes “crossing social norms.””
Criminal psychiatrist Alena Gayova (appointed by the defense) said, “…Blythe didn’t display any permanent “socially promiscuous” behavioral patterns. Even when in jail, when aggressive/anti-social behavior might be understandable, Gayova said Blythe showed normal results. She added he was not “overly aggressive.””
Judges have said that a verdict is “likely” tomorrow.

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.
Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.
Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.
“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.
“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
