As I Lay Dying is back with a new record Through Storms Ahead due out on November 15. The band is now streaming the mid-tempo single "Whitewashed Tomb" alongside a music video directed by Tom Flynn and Mike Watts.
"'Whitewashed Tomb' represents a balance between the melody and aggression that AILD is known for with an interesting modern twist from the way that Phil and Hiram produced it," said As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis. "When Phil wrote the original demo, I could instantly appreciate the classic melodic-metal influences in the guitar melodies contrasted with an underlying darker theme.
"So, lyrically it seemed fitting for me to focus on the metaphor of a whitewashed tomb. It is something clean and beautiful at a first glance until the darker hidden side is revealed. I also love what Ryan Neff added to solidify that sense of contrast vocally, as well."
As I Lay Dying in 2024 is vocalist Tim Lambesis and guitarist Phil Sgrosso alongside recent newcomers bassist Ryan Neff, drummer Nick Pierce, and guitarist Ken Susi. Pre-orders for Through Storms Ahead are available here.
As I Lay Dying will hit the road for their European tour featuring Caliban, Decapitated, and Left To Suffer later next month. Get your tickets here and get the full list of dates below.
