Tim Lambesis sold all his motorcycles to fund new As I Lay Dying music

Author Arto Mäenpää - 11.10.2025

Metalcore veterans As I Lay Dying have once again resurfaced with a new lineup and a fresh single, “Echoes”. Frontman Tim Lambesis has faced criticism over the band’s repeated comeback attempts. Some dismiss the effort as nothing more than a “cash grab.” Lambesis, however, has pushed back against that claim, saying he’s sacrificed a lot personally to make it happen.

On Instagram, he stated:

“0% chance you have even the slightest idea how the music industry works. I sold all my motorcycles just to get this back on track. It’s pure passion.”

The band’s current lineup features Chris Clancy (Mutiny Within) on vocals/bass, guitarists Bill Hudson, Don Vedda and Jack Daniels (War Of Ages), along with drummer Tim Yeung (ex-Divine Heresy).

Lambesis further commented:

“As the only primary songwriter on every AILD album, I’m always going to find a path forward for this catalog of music that I’m so passionate about. But sometimes things come together even better than expected. I’m incredibly grateful for my new bandmates. In addition to being incredibly talented, they genuinely care about my well-being and the band we are now all a part of.”

The new single “Echoes” has been released alongside a music video. Additionally, the band will head to Europe later this month to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their landmark 2005 album “Shadows Are Security”.
