Christian rock guitarist of Korn and lead singer of Love and Death, Brian "Head" Welch shared his thoughts about the murder-for-hire case of singer Tim Lambesis, and admitted he too was in a similar situation before he came to know the Lord.

Lambesis is the frontman of Christian metal group As I Lay Dying. Last year he was arrested for attempting to put a hit on his estranged wife, and will soon be serving time in prison for his actions.

Welch, who is known for his miraculous turn around from a heavy drug addiction and partying knows the struggle and "dark place" that Lambesis was in.

In a weekly article that Welch writes called "HeAd's Korner" on Loudwire.com, he explained his nasty divorce in 2000 caused him to think of ending his wife and her boyfriend's life.

Setting the scene, Welch said he was in a hotel room with his band members and surrounded by drugs. They were all high on cocaine and just in a really dark state emotionally. Welch was having a hard time with the divorce and thought as a "rock star" he should not have be subjected to his wife moving in with her boyfriend and causing him pain.

"One of our road crew that was in the hotel room with me that night had been involved in gangs in the past and at one point was very high up in the chain of command. Eyes bulging out of my sockets, high as a kite, I asked him, 'What would it take to have my wife and her new boyfriend hurt really bad... or worse?'"he wrote.

When Lambesis had asked a personal trainer at his gym a similar question, the friend went to the police and the singer was set up by an undercover officer posing as a hit man. Welch said what Lambesis really needed was a friend to "talk him down" from the ledge so-to-speak. "Head, if you cross that line, you can never go back," his friend responded.

"What if, in my lowest, weakest moment, all messed up in the head on coke, I got led into agreeing on a down payment for a hit on my wife and her boyfriend? What if the hit man ended up being a felon who needed to give the cops something huge to get himself out of some big trouble he was in?" Welch wrote.

He is grateful for that moment of pause to reflect on what he had really just asked. His life already in shambles because of his addiction, he was given his first second chance before his spiritual awakening that would come years later.

"We are all capable of bad choices under the weight of heavy circumstances. Some can snap in one way and others can snap in other ways. Some people can handle more or less than others, but EVERYONE has a certain breaking point - especially if there's other substances involved," Welch candidly admitted.

The singer had an acquaintance like relationship with As I Lay Dying, but made it a point to meet Lambesis at his home to talk and explain the similar situation to him.

"I told Tim that as strange as it may have sounded, I was really excited about his future. I have seen God create overwhelming beauty out of a pile of ashes so many times, and I look forward to seeing all the good that comes out of this horrible situation. Seeing beauty birthed from the most ugly of circumstances is one of my most favorite miracles to witness. It proves there is a God who always loves and never gives up on humans - no matter how far we fall," he wrote.

He ended the post off with saying Lambesis and his girlfriend "really encouraged" him and his friend, and vice versa. The Korn guitarist is asking everyone to keep Lambesis and his ex-wife in their prayers and to "watch as beauty is formed from all of the ashes."
