UPDATE: Yep, Tim Lambesis Is Back In As I Lay Dying & They’ve Shared New Song ‘My Own Grave’
ORIGINAL STORY: As I Lay Dying have teased their first snippet of new music in six years.
The Californian metalcore crew have been MIA since their frontman Tim Lambesis was convicted of hiring a hitman to kill his wife… but now, they’re gearing up for a comeback, and Lambesis’ status in the group remains shrouded in mystery.
The singer is of course back out on the street after completing his jail sentence last year, but the band’s new teaser clip — which has been splashed across all of their social channels — doesn’t show him; just a disembodied hand reaching for a microphone before cutting to black.
AILD have also purged their Facebook page of all previous photos, leaving only the new teasers, suggesting a new beginning for the group.
It’s definitely got fans speculating, and just generally venting some strong opinions about the impending comeback:
As I Lay Dying comeback hype is the Blue Lives Matter of metalcore

I doubt the rest of the metal community agrees with me but if As I Lay Dying were to reunite I will listen to it so hard. Wovenwar is not that good (sorry guys…) Poison Headache is sick as hell but we need those AILD riffs man! Not much compares. #Fact
