As I Lay Dying Artist Snapshot:

One of the pioneers of metalcore, the prolific As I Lay Dying garnered a swift following in the early-00s. Formed seven decades after its Faulkner novel namesake, the band's 2001 debut, BENEATH THE ENCASING OF ASHES, mixed Christian themes with a fusillade of throaty hardcore vocals and thrashing Slayer-esque guitars. The fertile combination earned As I Lay Dying a legion of fans and a contract with heralded Metal Blade Records. Starting with 2003's well-received FRAIL WORLDS COLLAPSE, the five-man band, fronted by Tim Lambesis, released roughly an album a year for the label throughout the aughts.

Review

Q (p.97) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[V]ocalist Tim Lambesis's unfailingly positive lyrics shine hope into blackened hearts."
Alternative Press (p.166) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- 'The band still inject melodies into the album's obvious singles, but OCEAN is clearly a relentless, 45-minute speed-metal romp."
Kerrang (Magazine) (pp.46-47) - "By far the most aggressive, in your face statement they've ever made..."

Title Note

As I Lay Dying: Duane Reed, Chad Ackerman, Nick Hip, Tommy Garcia (background vocals).

Faith-inspired heavy music has come a long way from the likes of glammy '80s pop metallists Stryper. San Diego's As I Lay Dying are steadfast in their beliefs, but make no effort to force the message lyrically. For the Christian hardcore metal outfit's fourth full-length (and third for Metal Blade), Tim Lambesis and company focus intently on further developing their writing chops--employing muscular riffing, super-technical drumming, and well-placed death/clean vocal stylings. For a contemporary and well-suited production ear, AILD recruited close friend Adam Dutkiewicz (of Killswitch Engage). All these elements make for a much broader appeal on AN OCEAN BETWEEN US.
