As I Lay Dying

As I Lay Dying is an American metalcore band hailing from San Diego, California, formed in 2000. Their music is a powerful blend of melodic death metal influences and hardcore punk, characterized by heavy guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and a dual vocal approach combining guttural growls and clean singing. The band's name was inspired by the novel of the same title by William Faulkner, hinting at the depth and complexity they strive for in their songwriting and themes, which often explore existential and spiritual turmoil.

Over the course of two decades, As I Lay Dying has cemented themselves as a major force in the heavy metal scene, with a reputation for relentless touring and a passionately devoted fanbase. Their discography boasts several critically acclaimed albums, with "An Ocean Between Us" in 2007 and "The Powerless Rise" in 2010 being particularly noteworthy for their progression in sound and commercial success. After overcoming significant adversity and lineup changes, including the 2014 incarceration of lead vocalist Tim Lambesis, the band made a triumphant return with 2019's "Shaped by Fire". The album's Deluxe Version and subsequent singles such as "Roots Below" and "Destruction or Strength" have continued to showcase As I Lay Dying's resilience and dedication to their craft, further solidifying their legacy in the metal world.
