San Diego metallers As I Lay Dying have released a new song called ‘Roots Below’. You can now listen to the track below.

Frontman Tim Lambesis comments: “Its exciting to be working on music again after some downtime.

“‘Roots Below’ was originally a B-side leftover from when we recorded [the 2019 album] ‘Shaped By Fire’, but Phil [Sgrosso, guitar] and Josh [Gilbert, bass, clean vocals] really brought new life to it when they recently finished it and added new layers.

“It’s been refreshing to get back to the creative process with the same team of songwriters being intact that have been writing with me since they joined the band.

“The lyrics were influenced by someone I recently met who shared a story of trauma with me that would have destroyed most people, yet from that struggle came strength, openness, and growth that inspired me.”

Sgrosso states, “‘Roots Below’ was a track I initially wrote for the ‘Shaped By Fire’ album, but at the time we collectively felt it needed more time and attention to develop to its fullest potential. We were finally able to piece it all together along with some other material taken from the ‘Shaped By Fire’ touring cycle, bundling it all into a deluxe version of the album.

According to City News Service, As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis has been sued by a woman who claims she suffered second-degree burns when he sprayed a flammable liquid into a fire pit at his parents’ house at the end of last year.

The incident occurred on December 12, 2020 when Vivienne Barcena was allegedly standing near the fire pit and Lambesis squirted an accelerant into it, causing flames to “explode out” and up her arm, back and mid-section.

Lambesis‘s parents were also named as defendants in the lawsuit, which as filed last week in a San Diego Superior Court.

Tim himself sustained burns to 25 percent of his body in the incident, which he first revealed in an Instagram post on December 16, 2020. At the time, the 40-year-old singer claimed that he was pouring gas into a bonfire when the top slipped off and the liquid ended up getting all over his clothes. He later said that he lost 20 pounds from being bedridden for almost three weeks and suffered some nerve damage. He also assured fans that his “man parts” were not harmed during the incident.

Thus far an official statement on the matter has yet to be issued.
