More about As I Lay Dying
As I Lay Dying is a metal band that was founded in 2000 by vocalist Tim Lambesis. As I Lay Dying's current lineup consists of Phil Grosso (guitarist), Josh Gilbert (bassist), and Jordan Mancino (drummer), aside from Lambesis himself. The band has so far released seven albums.
In 2007, the band’s fourth studio album, An Ocean Between Us, peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Top Rock chart. The same year, As I Lay Dying won the Ultimate Metal God award from MTV2 at the first annual All That Rocks special. The band’s fifth studio album, The Powerless Rise, was written over a three-year period and was released in May 2010 to widespread critical acclaim.
As I Lay Dying went on an indefinite hiatus in 2014 when Tim Lambesis was sentenced to six years in prison for soliciting the murder of his estranged wife. Lambesis was arrested in 2013 after attempting to hire an undercover police officer to murder his wife. He pled guilty in 2014 and was released on parole in December 2016.
On August 9, 2019, As I Lay Dying announced their first album in seven years, Shaped by Fire, and on September 13, they released Blinded as the album's fourth single, along with an accompanying music video.
In March 2020, they released the song Destruction or Strength, and in May 2020, they released a music video for Torn Between. Guitarist Nick Hipa quit the band on August 31, 2021, saying that behavior resulting from being in the band led to his decision to leave it. On September 24, 2021, the band unveiled a new single, Roots Below.
