San Diego quintet AS I LAY DYING rise together on their seventh full-length and debut for Nuclear Blast, the aptly titled »Shaped By Fire« will be released on September 20th. Today, the band releases the third album trailer where they discuss the process of writing 'My Own Grave' and the concept behind the music video that was directed by Josh Knoff, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpd6OdRa7Ow
Guitarist Phil Sgrosso comments, "'My Own Grave' feels like a really special song for us considering we hadn't put out any material in seven years. We knew that we had to put out something that could stand alone because it actually was standing alone, being just a single as opposed to a whole album that was backing it up. There's a pretty conscious effort amongst all of us to include kind of all the elements that define our sound with every instrument."
In about a week, AS I LAY DYING will kick off the their »Shaped By Fire« world tour. The trek will include 2 dates in Russia before heading across Europe with CHELSEA GRIN, UNEARTH and FIT FOR A KING. Tickets are now on sale at http://asilaydying.com/tour
»Shaped By Fire« was produced by the band and was mixed by Joseph McQueen at Sparrow Sound in Los Angeles, CA while mastering was completed by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in Nashville, TN. 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. The artwork was created by Corey Meyers.
