“BEYOND OUR SUFFERING”: AS I LAY DYING BRING THE HEAVY

Two minutes of As I Lay Dying’s new song, “Beyond Our Suffering,” are now streaming, and I gotta say: it sounds like the heaviest thing AILD have done in some time. Not that these dudes haven’t always been heavy, but the beginning is straight-up death metal, man (and anyone who says otherwise is just being a prejudiced ass wipe). The breakdown at the 1:29 mark is more in the metalcore vein, but then Nick Hipa takes a quick guitar solo which is pure shred. I wanna hear the rest of this song! It’s a frickin’ scorcher, man.

“Beyond Our Suffering” comes off of As I Lay Dying’s new album, The Powerless Rise, which Metal Blade will release on May 11. You can both listen to the song and pre-order the album here.
