The fifth trailer for “Shaped By Fire”, the seventh album from California metallers As I Lay Dying, can be seen below. Due on September 20 via Nuclear Blast Records, the disc was produced by the band and was mixed by Joseph McQueen at Sparrow Sound in Los Angeles, California, while mastering was completed by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in Nashville, Tennessee. The only exception was for the track “My Own Grave”, which was produced by As I Lay Dying, co-produced by Drew Fulk and mixed by Adam “Nolly” Getgood.
In the latest “Shaped By Fire” trailer, the members of As I Lay Dying discuss how they came to choose Corey Meyers to create the album’s artwork.

As I Lay Dying‘s upcoming disc will be the band’s first since singer Tim Lambesis was sentenced to six years in jail after pleading guilty to paying a San Diego police officer posing as a hitman $1,000 to kill his wife. Approximately two and a half years later — in December 2016 — he was discharged from a California detention facility and was transferred to the Division of Adult Parole Operations.
In June 2018, As I Lay Dying played its first show with Lambesis in five years and released a new single, ‘My Own Grave’. Lambesis also owned up to his crimes in a long apology on the band’s Facebook page after his release.
November saw As I Lay Dying complete its first U.S. tour in five years and the band followed it up with a European run of shows. Another single, “Redefined”, arrived in April.
The return of As I Lay Dying raised some questions, particularly since guitarist Nick Hipacategorically denounced the band’s disgraced frontman as a “sociopathic narcissist in definite need of rehabilitation” in a social-media post back in 2014.
As I Lay Dying will be out on the road in Europe & North America this fall/winter.
