As I Lay Dying Premiere New Single & Music Video "Echoes"

As I Lay Dying have officially entered a new era with the release of their comeback single, “Echoes.” The track arrives in the wake of yet another turbulent chapter for the Californian metalcore outfit — and particularly for their controversial frontman, Tim Lambesis.

Last November saw the band’s lineup collapse for a second time, with former members citing Lambesis’ behavior as the catalyst behind their departure. Undeterred by the allegations and upheaval, Lambesis pledged to rebuild As I Lay Dying once again, with “Echoes” serving as the first glimpse of that renewed effort. This single arrives independently via the band, emerging a few weeks ahead of their live return, which will commence towards the end of this month in Moscow, Russia.

According to the songwriting credits, the latest roster of musicians who joined Lambesis in the studio to bring this song to life includes:

Vocals/guitar: Tim Lambesis
Vocals/bass: Chris Clancy (Mutiny Within, etc.)
Guitars: Bill Hudson (NorthTale, Tommy Vext, etc.)
Guitars: Don Vedda
Guitars: Jack Daniels (War Of Ages)
Drums: Tim Yeung (ex-I Am Morbid, ex-Morbid Angel, ex-Vital Remains, ex-Divine Heresy, etc.)

Tom Flynn directed the below video for the song, with the band stating, “‘Echoes” marks As I Lay Dying’s powerful return and the beginning of a new era. With a revitalized line-up, the song delivers massive riffs, intense rhythms and anthemic choruses, capturing themes of struggle, loss and rebirth.”
