As I Lay Dying – announce album and release “We Are The Dead” • metal.de

After a career spanning over 25 years, seven successful albums and a Grammy nomination, the style-defining metalcore pioneers AS I LAY DYING are back with a new album. The new studio album will be titled “Through Storms Ahead” and will be released on November 15, 2024 via Napalm Records.

The metalcore veterans attracted attention this summer with the two tracks “Burden” and “The Cave We Fear To Enter” – the first sign of life after five years of silence for the band. Both songs are also part of the new record. The proven line-up around singer Tim Lambesis and guitarist Phil Sgrosso is now completed by the new members Ryan Neff (bass, clean vocals), Nick Pierce (drums) and Ken Susi (guitar).

To celebrate the announcement of the new album, AS I LAY DYING have now released another song. The new single “We Are The Dead” features guests Alex Terrible (SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL) and Tom Barber (CHELSEA GRIN, DARKO), who also appear in the accompanying music video.

Guitarist Phil Sgrosso on the new single and the video:
“'We Are The Dead' represents the harder side of the new album and clearly highlights our thrashier tendencies, which we always like to mix with our more melodic sound. 'Through Storms Ahead' is probably the most aggressive album of our career so far, and we couldn't be better suited to it than two of the best deathcore musicians, Alex Terrible from SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL and Tom Barber from CHELSEA GRIN. A big shout out also goes to our video director Tom Flynn, with whom we have worked for the third time in this campaign and who has once again visually impressively realized one of our tracks.”

Guitarist Phil Sgrosso and Hiram Hernandez produced the album. Aaron Chaparian was responsible for the mix and Ted Jensen for the mastering. The album artwork was again created by Corey Meyers.
