Metalcore powerhouse As I Lay Dying recently ignited conversation amongst fans after the announcement of their return back to the scene with an upcoming album titled "Through Storms Ahead" that is set for release Novemeber 15th, 2024 through Napalm records.

Word has spread like wildfire over social media with many dubbing their return as one of the most anticipated comebacks in Metal. The comeback has already brought several new tracks such as "Burden", "The Cave We Fear To Enter", and "We Are The Dead" featuring guest vocalist Alex Terrible of Slaughter To Prevail and Tom Barber of Chelsea Grin.

Frontman Tim Labesis shared his insight into their latest release "'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. 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 the album release draws closer, we can also be excited for the start of their "Through Storms Ahead Tour" featuring support from Caliban, Decapitated, and OV Sulfur set for November 15th in Würzburg, Germany.
