Metal Anarchy

As I Lay Dying have premiered two new songs, “Polarized” and “Retribution.” A music video for “Polarized” and a lyric video for “Retribution” can be found below. Both tracks are from their new self-titled album, which will be released on February 5.

The band commented on the singles:

“‘Polarized’ and ‘Retribution’ show two very different sides of what we’ve been creating. One leans more melodic, while the other is darker, faster, and heavier, with much of the record living somewhere between the two. Despite how different they are, both still feel rooted in what As I Lay Dying is. We’re excited for people to hear them and to bring this new chapter of the band on the road in February.”

They also added the following about the album:

“Making this the first self-titled As I Lay Dying album felt significant because the record feels like both a continuation and a reset. We weren’t trying to recreate one era of the band or force the songs into a narrow definition of what As I Lay Dying should sound like. We wanted to bring together everything we naturally gravitate toward: melody, aggression, speed, heaviness, emotion, atmosphere, and big riffs, while making sure every song still felt unmistakably like As I Lay Dying.”
