San Diego quartet AS I LAY DYING have released a video visualizer for their new single, “Roots Below”. Staying true to the sound they are known for, the track is the first single initially written during the Shaped By Fire writing sessions. Watch the visualizer here:
Phil Sgrosso states, “‘Roots Below’ was a track I initially wrote for the Shaped By Fire album, but at the time we collectively felt it needed more time and attention to develop to its fullest potential. We were finally able to piece it all together along with some other material taken from the Shaped By Fire touring cycle, bundling it all into a deluxe version of the album. Apart from the studio versions of ‘Roots Below’ and ‘Destruction or Strength,’ there will be an assortment of live songs captured on tour from 2019 in Europe, several ballad/electronic re-interpretations, a studio version of an instrumental track we wrote exclusively for the live show, an instrumental version of the entire album, as well as some other transitional pieces from our set that we wanted to share as part of this release. This has been a very productive first step towards getting back into the creative zone and beginning to focus on new material for next year.”
Today, the band also shares details for the deluxe edition of Shaped By Fire which is scheduled for later this year. Stay tuned for more information.

San Diego quintet AS I LAY DYING announce “Two Decades Of Destruction” European 2022 Tour. The 29-date tour kicks off in Germany with stops in France, Sweden, and Italy before returning to Germany for the Impericon Festivals. Joining the band on the trek are DYING FETUS and EMMURE with select dates including FIT FOR A KING.
Tim Lambesis states, “I’m incredibly grateful to have a chance to go back out on tour and for the tremendous support we‘ve had on the ‘Shaped By Fire’ touring cycle so far. When I started AS I LAY DYING I never imagined we’d have a chance to travel the world as we have, and now we’ll be going back to places that feel like a second home at times. The band has been such an important part of my life personally, so it is very meaningful to see our music connect with so many other people as well.”
“It’s a huge milestone for the band to reach the 20-year mark, something which couldn’t have been done without the support and encouragement from our fans” comments Phil Sgrosso. “We feel that it is our responsibility to them to keep pushing ourselves in providing better music and a better live show. That is why we are looking to go bigger than we ever have before with our stage production as well as curating a live setlist that will span and highlight pinnacle moments from the band’s career. We are excited to return to the stage to celebrate this monumental occasion and hope to see many familiar faces in the crowd. Big thanks to Impericon for having us as this year’s festival headliner as well as DYING FETUS and EMMURE for joining us on the trek.“

AILD Road Crew “Travel restrictions and responsible social-distancing measures have crippled the entire live event industry. While touring is a substantial part of a bands’ income, it is the entire source of financial sustenance for the hard working and talented crew it depends upon. A portion of everything raised will be distributed to our techs and production staff to help alleviate the financial strain of lost income and work opportunity. We love these people as family and want to help them though this the best we can.”
Feeding San Diego “With the closures of all schools in our state, Feeding San Diego is being extremely pro-active in distributing food to support students who previously relied on free and reduced priced school meals as their primary source of nutrition. Feeding San Diego is also continuing their efforts in providing hunger relief to senior citizens, low-income families, and all of the workers in our local hospitality, service, and tourist industries who are facing financial hardships from unemployment. The remainder of everything raised will be sent as a monetary contribution to this organization, to assist them in serving the hunger needs of our community.“
“We recognize this is an uneasy climate for everyone right now so there is no pressure to contribute. At the very least, we hope sharing unreleased music will have a positive impact for those of you excited to hear it. Please be safe and kind to one another. We will get through this together“.

Italian alternative metallers NOISKIN have released a new version for their song ‘As I Lay Dying’, taken from the band’s debut album “Hold Sway Over”. Watch the video here:
Stated the band: “Enjoy this quarantine version taken from our album “Hold Sway Over”. Stay home, stay safe and take care of your health!”
Concerning the current world situation, the band has this to say: “It’s time to stop, breathe and take care of the ones that we love. If we stick together, we’ll get out of this situation stronger than before and sharing music, dancing, and singing along will be more beautiful than ever. Meanwhile, thanks to everyone working for our health. Stay strong, stay safe, much love”
Also watch the video “One by One”, which was released last February, here:
————
In 2015, Luca (lead vocals) and Marco (lead guitar) teamed up with their longtime friend Simone (bass guitar) and met Federico (drummer). A common mindset and the different though keen musical backgrounds were the perfect soil to plant the Noiskin seed. The band soon started to work on their first tracks, and found their musical dimension into the alternative metal scene. Songs soon started to draw the common scenario that would become the first full length, Hold Sway Over, released in February, 2019: a concept album revolving around the theme of choices and the situations they put you into. While the album was being written and recorded, the band gigged around northern Italy. Noiskin is not only music. Noiskin means communicating, it means feeling, it is sharing.
