Randy Blythe has been freed from jail in Czech Republic and is on his way back to the U.S. Lamb of God plans to tour, however it remains to be seen if and where Dethklok will fit into this. Stay tuned.

Got some bad news for you, Dethklok fans.

The upcoming Dethklok tour with Lamb of God and Gojira is no longer upcoming. The tour has been canceled due to an ongoing legal issue with Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe and the Czech Republic. Blythe is currently incarcerated in a Czech jail on manslaughter charges stemming from a 2010 incident where he shoved a fan from the stage who then fell on his head, suffering trauma and later dying from the injury.

The frontman was arrested in a Czech airport prior to a scheduled show in Prague, which was then canceled. Bail had been posted for Blythe earlier in the year but a prosecutor challenged his release out of fear that he would flee the country and not return for his trial. In the end, the band could not realistically be a part of the Adult Swim tour this year, so they have backed out, and the tour has effectively been canceled.

Lamb of God released a statement regarding the situation:

The band regrets the decision but the uncertainty of Randy’s release makes it impossible to carry on with the tour. Upon Randy’s release, it is the band’s intention to rebook a tour in the fall and at this time the band fully intends to participate in the Mayhem Cruise in December.  Lamb Of God wishes to thank Dethklok, Adult Swim and Gojira for their support and patience as well as all of the promoters who had dates on the tour. Last but certainly not least, the band thanks all of the fans who bought tickets for the tour and who have been supportive of Randy and the band over the last month that Randy has been held in Prague. Without the fans, there is no Lamb Of God.

Adult Swim has released a statement as well:

In light of circumstances beyond our control, the upcoming Dethklok and Lamb of God with Gojira summer tour has been canceled. Refunds will be available to customers who already purchased tickets through their point of purchase. We thank Dethklok fans for their continued support and look forward to releasing information about the band’s upcoming third album and a planned fall tour in the coming weeks.

As the Adult Swim statement says, refunds are available to those who had already purchased tickets to the shows where they purchased them to begin with.
