Release Date: August 21, 2007

 

As I Lay Dying is following up their 2005 release, Shadows Are Security, with An Ocean Between Us. This new album looks to be heavier than their last album. Guitarist Nick Hipa had this to say about the new album: "Collectively we've all pushed ourselves, and we're all doing things that we weren't even capable of doing on the last record. And on top of just experimenting and trying different things, I think we just wrote some pretty sick jams, so I'm happy with it. That's all I can say. For kids who like our band and think they know what to expect from us, it might throw them off a little bit . . . I encourage anybody who likes our band to approach this album with an open mind." After listening to the tracks "An Ocean Between Us" and "Within Destruction", I've come to expect good things from this album...
