Already a familiar name on the "New American Metal Circuit" As I Lay Dying will unleash their sophomore release "Shadows are Security" through Metal Blade/Stomp June 13. Following from their critically acclaimed debut "Frail Words Collapse" As I Lay Dying are shaping up to be a real contender for the "un diluted" metal crown and with their inclusion on this years US Ozzfest, 2005 could be the year that AILD claim that crown.
In the vein of Chimaira, Kill Switch Engage and In Flames, As I Lay Dying effortlessly tear through songs of hope & tragedy with finesse and razor sharp precision. The sheer heaviness and emotion is complemented by vocalist Tim Lambesis` ability to turn a gut-wrenching scream into a soaring melody.
