As I Lay Dying have premiered a new video for their new song “Echoes.” The track is the first to feature the band’s new lineup, which consists of frontman Tim Lambesis bassist/vocalist Chris Clancy (Mutiny Within), guitarist Bill Hudson (NorthTale, Tommy Vext), guitarist Don Vedda, and drummer Tim Yeung (Tommy Vext, ex-Divine Heresy).

Lambesis commented:

“As the only primary songwriter on every AILD album, I’m always going to a find a path forward for this catalog of music that I’m so passionate about. But sometimes things come together even better than expected. I’m incredibly grateful for my new bandmates. In addition to being incredibly talented, they genuinely care about my well being and the band we are now all a part of.”

Hudson continued:

“Tim L and I first met almost 20 years ago and I’ve been in multiple bands with Tim Y. It’s an honor to be a part of the new chapter of As I Lay Dying. What a great way to get together and play with so many friends of 15+ years at the same time!”

Clancy added:

“Excited to finally share this new chapter. Check out the music video for ‘Echoes,’ proud of what we’ve created together. Hope you enjoy it.”

As previously reported, As I Lay Dying’s latest mass exodus occurred in 2024, leaving Lambesis as the sole member. The controversial vocalist, who previously served prison time for trying to hire a hitman to kill one of his former wives, was left in that position after footage of him engaging in altercations with his latest wife and their dog surfaced online.

Despite the controversy, the new lineup will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of “Shadows Are Security” on a fall European tour. Dates can be found HERE.
