AS I LAY DYING: 'An Ocean Between Us' Online Player Available

July 27, 2007

An online player for AS I LAY DYING's new album, "An Ocean Between Us", has been made available at this location.

"An Ocean Between Us" is scheduled for release on August 21 through Metal Blade Records. Produced by KILLSWITCH ENGAGE guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz (EVERY TIME I DIE, ALL THAT REMAINS),the CD will contain a dozen tracks, including "Separation" and the first single, "Nothing Left".

AS I LAY DYING has just completed shooting the video for "Nothing Left". The bleak, futuristic clip was shot in Van Nuys, California at Sound City Studios with Brian Thompson (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, ANGELS & AIRWAVES) lending his directorial talents. "The high concept storyline mixed with the bands ripping performance should make this video a metal favorite," says Thompson.

The story, which was conceived as a collaboration between the band and Thompson, follows a female character through a series of events which takes place within a decaying, future landscape.

Commented guitarist Nick Hipa: "The concept of our new video is conceptually akin to books like 'The Scarlet Letter', while visually it is influenced by the idea of post- apocalyptic dystopian societies as seen in films like 'Blade Runner' and '1984'. There's going to be dudes with machine guns and gas masks, so already its one of my favorite videos we've ever done."

In a recent interview with HardcoreSounds.net, AS I LAY DYING frontman Tim Lambesis stated about the new material, "Compared to 'Shadows Are Security' it's more diverse. Some of the songs are darker and technical but there's also some melodic guitars like there were in 'Shadows Are Security'. Musically 'An Ocean Between Us' is more faster and heavier but lyrically the album is really memorable. If you put the two together it has a cool energy because everything is more balanced. I also had more time to focus on lyrics this time."
