Background information about 'Through Storms Ahead'

With 25 years of reign and seven acclaimed albums under their belt, Grammy-nominated metalcore pioneers As I Lay Dying are back with an unmissable new album that will define their legacy for years to come. Poised to be one of the most highly-anticipated metal comebacks in years, the band’s eighth full-length studio album, "Through Storms Ahead", will drop on November 15, 2024, via Napalm Records. Following their 2019 album, "Shaped By Fire", which Loudwire named one of the best albums of that year, this new release is an evolution of newly explored elements that further bolster the proven line-up. A melancholic guitar-driven introduction track blasts into a deft explosion on first song "A Broken Reflection", showcasing the masterful melding of skills that the new incarnation of As I Lay Dying brings to the table. The clean vocals of bassist Ryan Neff absolutely soar throughout, fortifying the high-end of the track’s multi-layered attack of searing guitar harmonics and pummeling drums.

Streamed over a million times within days of its initial release, first single "Burden" annihilates with instantly gripping energy. Unrelenting metal burner "We Are The Dead", featuring guest singers Alex Terrible and Tom Barber, provides a prime example of the album’s punishingly precise production quality. The track satiates with a menacing soundscape accented by brutal breakdowns and growls. Melodic tracks like "The Void Within" evoke classic As I Lay Dying style blended with modernized metalcore passages. The title track "Through Storms Ahead" bludgeons with intense drums and an earworm chorus, while the introspective single "The Cave We Fear To Enter" begins pensively before charging into an emotive melodic metalcore opus. With immense production by Phil Sgrosso and Hiram Hernandez, this album proves that good things come to those who wait.
