AS I LAY DYING fans, the wait is finally over! The Grammy-nominated metalcore Titans have dropped their first single in five years, "Burden," marking an explosive return to the scene. Premiering with a high-energy music video, "Burden" showcases the band's signature breakneck intensity, soaring choruses, and ingenious guitar soloing. The single is out now via Napalm Records.
"Burden" offers a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come from AS I LAY DYING's next official release. The track was co-produced by guitarist Phil Sgrosso and Hiram Hernandez, mixed by Aaron Chaparian, and mastered by Ted Jensen. The current lineup includes long-time members vocalist Tim Lambesis and guitarist Phil Sgrosso, along with new additions Ryan Neff, Nick Pierce, and Ken Susi, all of whom bring renewed energy to the band.
Coinciding with the release of "Burden," AS I LAY DYING has also announced their 2024 European headline tour, Through Storms Ahead. The tour kicks off on November 15 in Würzburg, Germany, and will span across several countries including France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Sweden, and Norway, concluding on December 15 in Oberhausen, Germany. Supporting acts include Caliban, Decapitated, and Left to Suffer. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 24, at 11:00 AM CET. For tickets, merchandise, and more information, visit www.asilaydying.com.
Phil Sgrosso shared his excitement about the new track and video, saying, "It's a pretty special moment for us to finally share some new music! 'Burden' was originally inspired by a guitar melody I wrote years ago on an old demo, thinking that it was lost for good in the demo abyss. It wasn't until Tim dug it up and was inspired to shape a new song idea for it. The collaboration process with our co-producer Hiram Hernandez and new members brought new life to not only the song but the band as a whole, as we faced this new creative chapter together. Musically, we feel that 'Burden' represents a familiar part of our melodic history combined with a modern sense of energy and aggression. We really pushed ourselves to expand our musical capabilities in every department. We look forward to the addition of 'Burden' into our live show as well as introducing more music we've been working hard on over the past few years. Stay tuned."
Sgrosso also spoke about the upcoming European tour, saying, "Europe has become a second home to us so we always look forward to returning for a 'go big and go hard' headline tour. Traveling alongside us will be Germany's very own Caliban, Poland's finest death metal legends Decapitated, and the pummeling Left to Suffer. Each show will be a night to celebrate heavy music with the fans, let's make it a memorable one together."
