Lamb Of God’s Randy Blythe In "The Graves" Movie

Blabbermouth reported that Lamb Of God frontman, Randy Blythe is starring in a new horror movie called “The Graves“. He plays a character called Deacon Luke who is “an evil denizens of Skull City”.

According to Pennyblood.com where you can read about Randy’s roll:

The Graves centers around two sisters, played by Clare Grant and Jillian Murry, out for a final hoorah before one settles in at college across the country.  But stopping off to sight see in a creepy mining town soon becomes a nightmarish diversion for the ladies.

In the interview Randy describes his roll as:

“The character named Luke is pure aggression – which is what I am when on stage,” Blythe explained.  “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.”

The above picture is the Samhain album that Randy is referring to. If you’re not familiar with Samhain, it was Glenn Danzig’s band shortly after The Misfits. The Misfits where deemed as horror punk but Glenn Danzig took Samhain in to more of a rock direction with a dark sound to it. Samhain was raw, aggressive and grim sounding. Six years later Glenn changed the name to Danzig and the rest is history. If you dig Danzig and the Misfits but never ventured in between, you’re missing out.
