The fourth in a series of webisodes featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the recording sessions for “Awakened”, the sixth album from San Diego, California metallers As I Lay Dying, can be seen below.
Monster Energy and Idol Roc Entertainment have announced the itinerary for the 2012 Monster Energy Outbreak Tour. The North American routing kicks off in Edmonton, Alberta on November 16 and wraps on December 16 in Tampa, Florida.
Asking Alexandria will be joined by support acts As I Lay Dying, Suicide Silence Memphis May Fire and Attila. The lineup secured prompted tour producer Steve Glazer [Idol Roc Entertainment] to share, “Without question, this is the strongest lineup we’ve assembled for Outbreak to date. Each year we promise to grow our brand and it all starts with delivering the fans an undeniable lineup of artists on the rise paired with an affordable ticket price.” All tour dates are listed below.
Awakened, the sixth album from As I Lay Dying, will be released on September 25 via Metal Blade Records.
The CD was produced by Bill Stevenson, who has played drums for both the Descendents and Black Flag and is one of the most highly renowned producers in rock. His production credits include work on records by Rise Against, NOFX, Propaghandi, The Casualties and many more. The album was mixed by Colin Richardson [Machine Head, Napalm Death, Slipknot].
The cover artwork for Awakened was created by Metastazis with Tiffanie Uldry and can be seen below.
As I Lay Dying just completed a video for the new single A Greater Foundation with director Drew Russ [A Day To Remember, Falling In Reverse] and producer Robby Starbuck. The performance-based clip was shot on location in Los Angeles.
“We were all impressed with Drew‘s ability to capture the intensity of live band performances in his videos, and ‘A Greater Foundation’ is no exception,” explains As I Lay Dying bassist Josh Gilbert. “Drew‘s technique, along with the all-day participation of some of our diehard fans in Los Angeles, definitely accentuated the energy of the song and makes for an exciting and dynamic video. We can’t wait to unveil it!”
As I Lay Dying is preparing to launch a European tour with Trivium, Caliban and Upon A Burning Body before returning to the U.S. in November for a nationwide tour.
