As I Lay Dying have unleashed a video for their latest single, “Whitewashed Tomb.” The track is taken from the group’s upcoming eighth studio album, Through Storms Ahead, set to arrive on November 15 via Napalm Records. The forthcoming effort features guest vocals from Alex Terrible (Slaughter to Prevail) and Tom Barber (Chelsea Grin, Darko). As I Lay Dying will kick off a European tour just in time for the record’s arrival on November 15, starting in Germany. Tickets are available at this location.
Frontman Tim Lambesis comments:
“‘Whitewashed Tomb’ represents a balance between the melody and aggression that AILD is known for with an interesting modern twist from the way that Phil and Hiram produced it. When Phil wrote the original demo, I could instantly appreciate the classic melodic-metal influences in the guitar melodies contrasted with an underlying darker theme. So, lyrically it seemed fitting for me to focus on the metaphor of a whitewashed tomb. It is something clean and beautiful at a first glance until the darker hidden side is revealed. I also love what Ryan Neff added to solidify that sense of contrast vocally, as well.”
