LAMB OF GOD Frontman Talks About His Film Debut

October 18, 2008

LAMB OF GOD vocalist D. Randall Blythe will appear in the upcoming horror/thriller "The Graves" which will be screened for distributors this fall. The film stars Tony Todd ("Candyman") and Bill Moseley ("The Devil's Rejects") and was written and directed by former comic book writer Brian Pulido.

"The Graves" is Randy's first foray into film. He plays Deacon Luke, one of the evil denizens of Skull City.

In a recent interview with Penny Blood magazine, Blythe stated about the role, "The character named Luke is pure aggression — which is what I am when on stage. He intimidates and keeps townspeople in line. I'm Tony Todd's bitch in the movie! I got to deal with a really cool special FX guy and there’s a knife involved, so there was just blood everywhere. When I got done I looked like the cover of the SAMHAIN record 'Initium'."

Blythe added, "They didn't give me a part because I'm Randy from LAMB OF GOD. I tried out for that, did a few video interviews, sent some tapes, and then went to Arizona to try out in front of the producers."
