Disturbed frontman voices support for Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe

Disturbed frontman David Draiman has thrown his support behind Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe, who has been indicted on manslaughter charges in the Czech Republic.

As reported yesterday, Blythe faces manslaughter charges that stem from a 2010 incident where a man died a few weeks after an apparent stage fall at a Lamb of God concert in the Czech Republic in 2010.

If convicted, Blythe faces five to ten years in prison.

Following the news of Blythe’s indictment, Disturbed vocalist David Draiman has taken to his band’s Facebook page to voice his thoughts on the situation:

"MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS MY BLOOD, OUR FRIEND RANDY BLYTHE OF LAMB OF GOD HAS NOW OFFICIALLY BEEN INDICTED ON CHARGES OF MANSLAUGHTER. THIS IS A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE. HE IS BEING A MAN AND STANDING UP TO THESE CHARGES. SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE AND TWITTER PAGES, RAISE AWARENESS AMONGST YOUR FRIENDS, AND TAKE THE TIME TO DONATE TO HIS DEFENSE FUND ON BOTH PAGES.

WE STAND BEHIND RANDY, HOPE ALL OF YOU WILL AS WELL. AS ALWAYS, MUCH RESPECT.
