It looks like we’re getting new As I Lay Dying music very soon…

As I Lay Dying, a metalcore band from California, has finished recording their ninth studio album, as per theprp. On September 8, the band’s controversial singer Tim Lambesis posted a new video update on social media that provided some insight into the band’s current situation. Two new songs, “Polarised” and “Retribution,” will be released on September 15th, according to that clip. After a highly contentious implosion in 2024, Lambesis reconstructed their lineup from the ground up, and this will be the band’s first full-length album with their new lineup.

So we finally finished recording the new As I Lay Dying album, and we did 12 songs with the intention of keeping 10. We’ve had a lot of conversations amongst us trying to figure out what those 10 songs are, and we figured we should bring you guys in on the conversation.

So, we’re gonna show you little clips of two songs coming up called ‘Polarized‘ and ‘Retribution‘. Over the next week, we’ll sort of introduce these songs, and then on September 15th, we’ll have both those songs come out fully. And we’ll open up some voting for you guys to tell us, do these polarizing two different ends of the album both belong on the As I Lay Dying album?

‘Polarized‘ is quite a bit more melodic, mid-tempo, a little bit more singing, but still very heavy and driving. And then ‘Retribution‘ is just fast, dark and heavy, no singing at all whatsoever. So those are the two ends of the spectrum. We figured we’d start there, see what you guys thought, and most of the rest of the record lives somewhere in between. But we wanna bring you guys in to just give us your feedback so we can make these final decisions together.
