Grammy-nominated Metalcore band As I Lay Dying recently announced their upcoming eighth full-length studio album, Through Storms Ahead, out November 15, 2024 via Napalm Records. Now they’ve released a fourth single, “Whitewashed Tomb”, alongside a music video.
Frontman Tim Lambesis says about the track and video:
‘Whitewashed Tomb’ represents a balance between the melody and aggression that AILD is known for with an interesting modern twist from the way that Phil and Hiram produced it. When Phil wrote the original demo, I could instantly appreciate the classic melodic-metal influences in the guitar melodies contrasted with an underlying darker theme. So, lyrically it seemed fitting for me to focus on the metaphor of a whitewashed tomb. It is something clean and beautiful at a first glance until the darker hidden side is revealed. I also love what Ryan Neff added to solidify that sense of contrast vocally, as well.
As I Lay Dying are kicking off their European “Through Storms Ahead Tour”, featuring support from Caliban, Decapitated and Ov Sulfur, on November 15 in Würzburg, Germany.
