Head over to AOL’s Noisecreep to check out the track Electric Eye (Judas Priest Cover) off As I Lay Dying’s upcoming release Decas. The band recently shot a music video for the same track out at El Mirage (Dry Lake Bed) in the Mojave Desert with director Paul Brown. Photos giving a sneak peak of what’s to come can be seen HERE.
Decas, which contains 12 tracks, celebrates the band’s accomplishments by offering three brand new songs, cover songs that pay homage to just a few of the bands that have influenced As I Lay Dying, and remixes by Innerpartysystem
(Katy Perry, Ladyhawke, Thursday, Good Charlotte and many others), Benjamin Weinman (The Dillinger Escape Plan), Kelly “Carnage” Cairns (Austrian Death Machine, War of Ages), and Big Chocolate (Asking Alexandria, iwrestledabearonce, Suicide Silence).
Decas available November 8 in North America, November 7 in the UK & Europe, and November 4 in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
In conjunction with the band’s 10th anniversary and the release of Decas, As I Lay Dying will support label mates Amon Amarth on their 6-week European run in the fall. View the tour schedule below.
