Lamb Of God's North American tour with Dethklok and Gojira was scheduled to start on August 1st, but now comes the confirmation that it has been cancelled because Randy Blythe is still in jail and is uncertain when he will be released.

Lamb Of God has issued the following statement: "Due to the continued incarceration of Lamb Of God singer Randy Blythe in the Czech Republic, the band's co-headline tour with Dethklok scheduled to begin August 1 in Seattle is being cancelled. 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."

According to the latest reports, the prosecutor has challenged Randy Blythe's newly paid bail of $400,000, meaning that on Friday (July 27th), the prosecutor will submit to the judge a reason for the bail denial. At that point, the judge has five days to rule, and another five days for it to be written or published to the court.
