Randy Blythe Releases Final Book Cover For His Book ‘Dark Days: A Memoir’
The final cover art for Randy Blythe‘s first book, “Dark Days: A Memoir”, can be seen below. The book will be released on July 14 via Da Capo Press, and Random House in the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
From Randys Instagram: “The cover was designed by Paul R. Brown of Bau-da Design Lab. Paul is a photographer, director and graphic designer who has worked with a million bands on album covers and videos, as well as doing book covers for Nikki Sixx, Marilyn Manson, Mötley Crüe and my pal Corey Taylor. The two photographs incorporated into the design were both taken by me. One is of Pankrác prison- I took this photo when I went back for trial- the other is a self-portrait. I put on some extreme right wing talk radio and hit a remote shutter button a million times. I wanted to make sure I had forgotten about the camera so I would get an ‘honest’ photo. The radio did the trick. I was HIGHLY disturbed listening to their insane rantings and that was what you see in the photo. I did NOT want my photo on the cover of the book, as it is not really a typical ‘rock memoir’ and there are more than enough photos of me out there already, but it IS my first book, so I acquiesced to the publisher’s request. At least it’s not a cheesy ‘author/rock singer’ photo, just me hanging out in my study, thinking about how nutty some people are. Note that the subtitle at bottom is simply ‘A Memoir’, NOT ‘My Trials & Tribulations’. I hated that, but we needed a working subtitle and someone else threw it out there, and before I knew it, BLAM it was up on Amazon. Speaking of which, the book is available for pre-order there (probably still with the ‘working cover’).”
The book is available for pre-order via Amazon, where it is already #1 bestselling Heavy Metal Musician Biography.
