As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis releases statement following band exodus
As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis has released a statement following the grand exodus of the band's other members and tour manager. In the brief message Lambesis confirmed the group's upcoming album Through Storms Ahead will still be released on November 15th as planned. Last week the new singles disappeared off streaming sites, but have since returned.
Lambesis also assured fans he will yet again rebuild As I Lay Dying.
Lambesis shared the following:
Hi everyone,
I needed some time to process all that has happened recently with AILD. As I reflect, I certainly agree that there was an unhealthy environment that made leaving for a new tour with the previous lineup unrealistic. It had become difficult to figure out even the smallest details, and I admit I can stick strong to my vision for the future of AILD even when others think it should go another direction.
It saddens me to think about the behaviors, communication, and patterns of interaction that led up to the tour cancellation. Phil and I no longer saw eye to personally, creatively, or financially. Discussions during this time prompted his decision to depart first, with each of the touring members deciding to leave shortly after, as they were not interested in going on without him. Unfortunately, that wasn't the order in which everything was made public, as some statements were rushed out during a chaotic time in response to rumors.
I fully support each of the guys' decisions to leave and believe at this time it is best for everyone. With that being said, my door will always remain open to discussing anything directly as I believe closing communication lead to many assumptions and problems of its own.
Now, regarding what's next: AILD was founded on persistence and determination. For anyone who is familiar with the foundational years from 2000-2004, you know that more than 20 people (whom I'm incredibly grateful for) have come and gone to help bring to life this vision I've had in my head since I was 19 years old. I look forward to building a new team, and creating an atmosphere that is supportive, positive, and fosters a creative environment.
"Through Storms Ahead" will still be released November 15. I am proud of what we created and look forward to sharing it with all of you.

Post CommentLook at all that passive voice. Dude should do the world a favor and practice his throat game on a loaded shotgun.
This guy is 100% clinical narcissist. He will never see that he is the problem. His mind can't realize that he is the one with issues. God forbid this guy ever get ahold of a firearm.
I am the man for the job, Tim. I am dilated and ready to go.
hmmmmm. not even attempting to refute the wife beating. seems fine.
Rick's throat is ready to be punished by 94 inches of tier one metalcock
Money has absolutely ruined hardcore and metalcore. AILD isn't a band is an LLC and the fans are no different than Disney Adults. Seriously go neck yourself if you contribute to this.
The king of clueless white trash metalcore has spoken. Looking forward to the next AILD banger blasting from the clapped out Honda Civic parked next to my at that stop light on his way to a retail job
Guys with fat girlfriends who wear Jack Skellington merch are stoked
Top Kiss Non-Makeup Albums 1. Revenge 1992 2. Lick It Up 1983 3. Crazy Nights 1987 4. Asylum 1985 5. Carnival Of Souls 1997 6. Animalize 1984 7. Hot In The Shade 1990
yup. just like we said. financial. the other members got greedy. no crimes committed. backtrack now losers. Tim has already reloaded with known names, album will chart, merch and vinyl will move and latin american tour is stlll on. cry
Tim is really good at hiring people for a very short period of time. band members, hitmen.
Ken can go back to Unearth who currently draw 150 people. AILD is TIM'S brand and band. The other members got greedy and probably wanted all the $ to be split equally....not going to happen.
Just take me on the road and feed me (dicks). Put me in coach
remember when this dude tried to have his wife killed
" Guys with fat girlfriends who wear Jack Skellington merch are stoked" LOLLL spot on
Never-ending shitstorm from a band who had 1 decent song 20 years ago, My god...
This is like when Vinnie Vincent wouldn't sign the employment contract with Gene and Paul. No doubt Vinnie's songs saved Kiss' ass but he should've just signed it. 200k a year in 1984? Please.
hey Tim I hope you read this no one gives a f*ck about you or AILD anymore cheers, Rick
Tim in all serious brother good luck with this endeavor. But I'm telling u we kno all this shit will ever b is a has been cash grab to keep ur ego and roid usage pumping along. Watch the movie hotrod for me man.
Hang it up already. Also clapped out Honda civic-core is usually Atilla. This is more like leasing a BMW with no intent to pay and hiding it on rotation in different backyards-core
Tim wrote their statements their bodies are in the basement
Look at all these keyboard warriors talking all this smack under "anonymous status".🤣
^Look at all these keyboard warriors talking all this smack under "anonymous status".🤣 Mr. Anonymous over here...
If you're listening mr. Lambesis, I'll play the guitar. I can f*ck too
Dude can't come to terms with the fact that his dream is long dead lmao
How will Dying Wish write any new albums if this band breaks up?
Can someone catch me up? What's the deal with this guy?
First he calls them touring members, then he's proud of a record they made together
"Look at all these keyboard warriors talking all this smack under "anonymous status".🤣" Settle down, Tim.
So many bands have been ripping off AILD riffs and vocal styles/lyrical content for decades. KSE should be paying Tim royalties for their success .
^ Seeing as how killswitch engage's first album came out a year before aild did, and alive or just breathing shits on as I lay dyings first studio album and everything else they ever did, I believe you are a retard, sir. Or ma'am.
Look at all these incel homphobic losers on here trying to act tuff behind a screen. U AREN'T METAL! I dont like this dude, but suggesting any1 do harm to themselves is others is a felony. Cleary, the trolls on here never go outside & couldnt please a female let alone find the cliit if they were given a map! Im female, and could rip on guitar better than ANY of u trolls spewing hate speech and homophobic garbage. If u use gay as an insult, ur a child. AiLD was a great band before Tim fckf it up too so stop pretending it wasn't. Not on darkest hour level string skipping/sweep picking, but they were all around great harmonically and had tons of hits. The dude is still on steroids clealry & I saw him w women NOt his wife at the show.
Lucky to get to see them be4 the break up in nyc.I was blocked Tims path near the bar didnt realize it was him lol, but he was huge, def still roided out. That stuff makes men angry plus shrivels up ur wanker. He was with a 20 something groupy too. Show was good, Chelsea grin wass really good too. Sucks the lead had 2 be a narcissist & cant stop using & thinks he's the band. 1 member leaves, normal, 2, something toxic going on, and all but 1, The remaining person IS the problem!

U wish u made half of what i do. Real metal dudes aren't so insecure they post homophobic slurs or threats online. All those types are single Guaranteed ALL the trolls posting threats or homophobic slurs R single.
anonymous 5 hours ago Guys with fat girlfriends who wear Jack Skellington merch are stoked Pinpoint accuracy, well done
anonymous 24 minutes ago U wish u made half of what i do. Real metal dudes aren't so insecure they post homophobic slurs or threats online. All those types are single Guaranteed ALL the trolls posting threats or homophobic slurs R single. ^^ Mr. Lambesis has entered the chat. Can I get a job homie? I can shred AND I can f*ck
It's so weird that he talks like he's still a guy in a band. There is no band, the whole entire band quit. He's just a guy now. A guy who wants to sing in a band.
He'll understand that he's the problem one day….maby idk also it would have been better to just come out and say exactly what the problems were instead of hiding
He'll understand that he's the problem one day ___ Yeah if there's one thing that history has shown it's that malignant narcissists frequently realize that the wake of terror they've been leaving their whole lives all in the name of ego glorification hasn't actually been worth it and pull an about-face.
Hey Tim I can pound ass like no other. I'm sure that it translates to the drum kit. Hire me bro. I got you.
He should hire some hit men to play instruments and rename his band As My Ex-Wife Lay Dying (I wish).

Start a band called Tim and the hitmen and write about putting hits on bitches that divorce you
^^As is Shadows are Security and really anything pre-Tim going to prison...everything since has been awful...
Tim since I know you're reading these threads, AILD was a great band but as a vocalist in a metal band you were probably the least talented member. The stars were Nick and Phil and Jordan. Kind of a shame you had to ruin it for everyone else. Been listening since 03 and AILD is probably one of my top three all-time bands.
Tim should sodomize himself with the business end of a shotgun.
Remember when this dude grew tits in prison because he was off his steroid regiment?
AILD frail words and shadows destroy anything KSE had done prior or since. it isn't even close. why tim can be so cavalier now. dues already paid
>U wish u made half of what i do. Real metal dudes aren't so insecure they post homophobic slurs or threats online Gay idiot. Queer
He speaks of the other "touring members". I thought they were fully involved in the writing of the new album. Even that shows you that something is wrong and people aren't fully appreciated in this band…
Love all the little fat piggies in the comments tryna shit on this man. It's so hilarious how basement dwelling man goblins are so salty over some random dead band💀
Buried alive inside of my own grave? More like: "Buried alive by my own insatiable lust for band mate bussy"
Tim vomits up a lengthy word salad, offers nothing, still eats dicks.
oh so everyone left cuz of money f*ckin fairweather friends who shoulda left any way aild didn't break up, some shit heads left can't wait to see who comes in next if it's really gothenburg guys thats awesome long live aild no band comes close
"" Even that shows you that something is wrong and people aren't fully appreciated in this band… " wrong it means shit people tricked tim into letting them join. of course tim would be in a bad mood when they do nothing but run there f*ckin mouth and complain like whiners. you think you would sit there and smile ???? tense attitude is how to get them out basic leadership 101 buddy
KSE is the original. AILD was just a Zao cover band and Tim was a scrawny emo kid. After getting bullied he decided to change the band's style and started taking steroids. The rest is history. But Tim is just as insecure today as he used to be. Maybe moreso. Inside he's not a big strong dude. He is a fearful little man with an easily wounded ego. Phil was one of the last people that knew the old Tim. With Phil gone Tim can fully live out his fantasy without challenge. But Tim is really just a hollow person inside, hungry for fame, power, admiration… but deserving of none.
Guys maybe we should all be a bit nicer to Tim, he might hire a human on us or something.
anonymous 14 hours ago How will Dying Wish write any new albums if this band breaks up? any one of those kids would trip all over themselves to join this band if Tim asked lol
Maybe he can recruit the dude from the faceless and rings of saturn since nobody wants to be in a band with them either
I don't listen so AILD, can't even name a song. What I do know from this article and statement is that this guy is a narcissist. That is all.
run there f*ckin mouth run there f*ckin mouth run there f*ckin mouth run there f*ckin mouth run there f*ckin mouth-hurry up kid,my fries are getting cold.
And now each departing member has a price on their heads.
anonymous 8 hours ago Love all the little fat piggies in the comments tryna shit on this man. It's so hilarious how basement dwelling man goblins are so salty over some random dead band💀 People enjoy seeing people get what they deserve, no more no less
^did you forget that the man literally tried to have his wife killed? That seems like a pretty good reason to dump on him to me
Tim Lambesis, if you are reading this, you should have used that statement as lyrics for new As I Lay Dying album.
Maybe he can recruit the dude from the faceless and rings of saturn since nobody wants to be in a band with them either OK, that covers both guitars, name some narcissistic drummers and bassists. Criminal records and or allegations get bonus points
A bunch of f*cking losers in here who have never done anything in their life are shitting on a dude who actually has done things with his life. Acting As I Lay Dying isn't good music. Then again, I still haven't figured out what Lambgoat losers even like because they literally shit on everything. And to the dude who said "go neck yourself if you contribute to this music". How about you first you freak? I'd smack you.
