San Diego quintet AS I LAY DYING rise together on their seventh full-length and debut for Nuclear Blast, the aptly titled ‘Shaped By Fire’ will be released on September 20th.
You wouldn’t think such a band had many non-metal influences. You’d be wrong, as Phil and Jordan tell us exclusively.
Recently, the band released the third album trailer where they discuss the process of writing ‘My Own Grave’ and the concept behind the music video that was directed by Josh Knoff, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpd6OdRa7Ow
Guitarist Phil Sgrosso comments, “‘My Own Grave’ feels like a really special song for us considering we hadn’t put out any material in seven years. We knew that we had to put out something that could stand alone because it actually was standing alone, being just a single as opposed to a whole album that was backing it up. There’s a pretty conscious effort amongst all of us to include kind of all the elements that define our sound with every instrument.”
