AS I LAY DYING: New Song Available For Streaming
"The Powerless Rise", the fifth full-length album from San Diego metallers AS I LAY DYING, is scheduled for release on May 11 via Metal Blade Records. The band recently finished up the recording process in San Diego with producer Adam Dutkiewicz (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE) and mixed the effort with Colin Richardson and his assistant Martyn "Ginge" Ford.
"We wanted to make sure our songwriting progressed and I feel we've achieved our goal in creating an album with greater intensity than any we've crafted before it," explains AS I LAY DYING frontman Tim Lambesis. "We added layers and complexity to the melodies and yet we were able to do so without softening our sound like so many of our peers."
He adds, "Lyrically, 'The Powerless Rise' includes some of the most straight-forward songs I've ever written.
"I can honestly say that I am more excited about 'The Powerless Rise' than any release before it — I can't wait to unleash it on our fans."
