AS I LAY DYING: 'Through Struggle' To Receive 'Headbanger's Ball' Premiere This Weekend

October 26, 2005

AS I LAY DYING's video for the track "Through Struggle" will receive its "Headbanger's Ball" premiere on Saturday, October 29.

Shot on September 18 at the Morell Meats Lot, an abandoned meatlocker near downtown Los Angeles, with director Lex Halaby (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, MUDVAYNE),the clip features a unique and vividly dark concept drawing inspiration from a very specific stanza in the lyrics: "Only through struggle have I found rest / With a piece of me taken away / I begin to understand / Hollow out this machine like chest / With its gears that turn to make me feel / And assembled thoughts that fade away / Remove from me this deception that I called love."

The strong imagery created during this shoot brings a new life to "Through Struggle". Singer Tim Lambesis elaborates: "Spending a whole day in an old abandoned meatlocker may not sound like a good time, but we really could not be happier with how well the video shoot went with Lex Halaby and his crew. The content came out way better than we could have expected. The imagery really captured the song, and we can't wait for you all to see it."

"Through Struggle" is the emotionally charged second single off AS I LAY DYING's sophomore album, "Shadows Are Security", which has sold 131,000 copies in the United States since its June 14 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
