Occasionally after we check out other melodies, we’ll briefly use phrases that simply occur to suit as a placeholder. However in this track, Ryan selected phrases that he felt represented what he were processing main as much as the demo.
“It felt proper for me depart that healing expression in position. So, after I took over, the imagery of a cave the place you face your fears got here to thoughts. Whilst I handiest know somewhat of Joseph Campbell‘s paintings, the imagery delivered to thoughts a quote of his that I remembered and used for inspiration as neatly.”
Sgrosso provides: “‘The Cave We Concern To Input’ is also certainly one of our maximum adventurous songs to this point. We broke out of numerous outdated behavior and formulaic strikes to create one thing that touches on numerous emotional components we haven’t explored so deeply prior to. From its inception, it used to be immediately a favourite for all people.
“We in reality loved taking part with Tom Flynn at the video to mix the storylines between ‘Burden’ and ‘The Cave We Concern to Input’, proceeding the adventure of the nature via new environments and cases. It used to be numerous amusing to take new ingenious dangers to inform this tale visually along the somber and uplifting nature of the track.”

All through a up to date look at the Loaded Radio podcast, Lambesis used to be requested concerning the standing of AS I LAY DYING‘s lately recorded new studio album. He stated: “We’ve had this backward and forward blending the document, the place the document has been carried out for rather some time and we’re simply looking for the best illustration of the sound.
“With fashionable song, there’s such a lot of… ‘Purpose classically, for example, there was once 5 or 6 guys that had been nice at blending steel and now you’ve gotten such a lot of other approaches to it. And we’re simply in reality looking for that sound the place it marries in combination the nostalgic sound AS I LAY DYING is understood for with somewhat little bit of a contemporary twist to it. And for no matter reason why, that phase’s been delaying the method, however the document’s in truth carried out. [It] simply wishes to complete the combo.”
When requested if an album identify had already been made up our minds upon, Tim stated: “Shoot. I want I may just in truth provide the identify. Sadly, Phil, our guitar participant, and I’ve a slight war of words over what the album identify will have to be. We each love the similar thought and we’re simply type of toying with the phrases somewhat bit.”
Tim additionally mentioned the sound of the brand new AS I LAY DYING album, announcing: “I wrote one of the most heavy-leaning songs within the document. I think adore it’s one of the most heaviest songs that’s ever been within the AS I LAY DYING catalog, after which Phil wrote numerous melodic songs which are type of… Either one of us labored on some songs which are type of within the center, I suppose you’ll want to say.
“After which he labored on a pair, I feel, that extend in a brand new sense of melody for us. It’s no longer essentially anything else groundbreaking — it’s no longer gonna shatter other folks’s minds, like, ‘Oh, my gosh. It slightly appears like AS I LAY DYING.’ However simply roughly stretch our sound somewhat bit in each and every route.”
Requested if operating with this new lineup for AS I LAY DYING is “a breath of unpolluted air” for him, Tim stated: “Yeah, a breath of unpolluted air is in reality the easiest way to explain it as a result of you’ve gotten this example the place Phil and I’ve been writing songs in combination for two decades, or somewhat greater than two decades at this level, or, in truth, about 20 precisely at this time. And we have now our approach down, and that’s been the similar irrespective of who’s been within the band when it comes to… With regards to writing an album, the 2 people really feel numerous pressures on our shoulders.
“After which occasionally you get guys within the band that, through the years, and it’s no longer a grievance, this simply occurs, that is herbal, it’s simply, through the years, they’re no longer in the main songwriting function and they really feel somewhat bit bored stiff or fatigued or lose their hobby through the years as a result of they’re no longer a part of the core songwriting. And I feel what occurs when those new guys have are available in, no longer handiest are they ready to roughly give a contribution to the way in which that they put their stamp on each and every track, however for Phil and I, we’re pondering… Realizing how Nick Pierce performs drums, for example, we will write songs round his talent as a drummer.
“And it roughly offers Phil and I this pleasure for writing once more. After which serious about Ryan‘s voice, being a voice that’s by no means been on an AS I LAY DYING document prior to as a 2nd vocalist, and I begin to suppose, like, ‘Wow, I will be able to in reality experiment and take a look at these types of various things.’
“And he’s simply right down to do the entirety to take a look at… No longer all my concepts are excellent, however he’s down to take a look at 100 various things. And he has simply an improbable paintings ethic. So the ones are a few examples of why it feels refreshed and really thrilling for Phil and I, even if the method is type of the similar in numerous techniques as neatly.”
When Loaded Radio‘s Scott Penfold requested Tim if he nonetheless occasionally needs that the vintage lineup of AS I LAY DYING had caught in combination and controlled to transport ahead, Tim stated: “Neatly, I will be able to all the time owe so much to the years of exhausting paintings we spent in a van in one of the vital previous days after which, after all, in a bus traveling in combination for such a lot of years.
“And so because of this, I do admire and feature an excellent sense of gratitude for, I suppose, what other folks name the vintage lineup. In a behind-the-scenes roughly scenario, I do really feel like I don’t in reality leave out one of the vital behind-the-scenes stuff, and no longer as a result of I’ve anything else extra to mention, however I feel through the years other folks simply, they are able to’t stay the similar sense of pleasure about one thing after they’re no longer striking their stamp at the sound creatively.
“And it’s no longer that we had been ever like final the door for Nick [Hipa, former AS I LAY DYING guitarist] or Jordan [Mancino, former AS I LAY DYING drummer] so to write songs, for example, however in fact, that simply by no means took place. They weren’t in reality a large a part of the ingenious contribution. I feel it simply connects other folks in a different way. And so Phil and I finally end up extra passionately attached as a result of each track that comes out, there’s an enormous a part of our ingenious output that’s in that track. And I feel it simply makes us attached extra uniquely.
“And with the ones guys, I feel they misplaced the relationship to the band through the years. After which it simply become extra about like interpersonal problems that each band has. And that’s no longer amusing to concentrate on. So I revel in this new technology the place everyone simply displays as much as the studio displays as much as a are living display and is simply excited to be there. And, it makes me really feel like I’m in my twenties once more.”
When requested if he nonetheless communicates with Jordan or Nick in any respect, Tim stated: “We in truth all are living in the similar town — neatly, the larger San Diego space. And unusually, we don’t run into each and every different a lot. My door is open. I’m most likely an overcommunicator [laughs], so in the event that they ever sought after to speak. I’d most likely be prepared to speak, or concentrate or no matter — simply when it comes to simply basic communique. I’m simply … ‘Purpose I feel that should you haven’t talked to someone in a yr, for example — I haven’t talked to both of the ones guys in a yr, for example — and such a lot occurs in existence.
“Other folks may have drastic existence occasions and issues that experience affected them in my opinion. And despite the fact that we really feel like we’ve gotten to the ground of the entirety, we don’t have any reason why to in reality stay rehashing or speaking about outdated problems, I feel there’s all the time one thing new and thrilling to speak about. So my door’s open. However we haven’t talked in rather some time.”
AS I LAY DYING‘s new album would be the follow-up to “Formed Via Fireplace”, which got here out in September 2019 by means of Nuclear Blast.
