Metalcore titans As I Lay Dying have reignited their legacy with a fresh lineup and the release of their intense new single, ‘Echoes’. The track signals a pivotal new chapter for the band, balancing raw emotion and surgical precision with that signature mix of melodic weight and lyrical introspection.
‘Echoes’ dives deep into the human struggle, wrestling with guilt, loss, and transformation, anchored by Tim Lambesis’ searing vocals and the band’s trademark dynamic interplay. The single also debuts a revamped formation:
Lambesis (vocals), Chris Clancy (bass, clean vocals), Bill Hudson (guitar), Don Vedda (guitar), and Tim Yeung (drums).

A new chapter begins
Lambesis says: “As the only primary songwriter on every AS I LAY DYING album, I’m always going to find a path forward for this catalog of music that I’m so passionate about… In addition to being incredibly talented, they genuinely care about my well being and the band we are now all a part of.”
Hudson adds: “It’s an honor to be 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 echoes that excitement: “Excited to finally share this new chapter. Check out the music video for ‘Echoes’. Proud of what we’ve created together.”
The single arrives alongside the announcement of a European tour marking the 20th anniversary of ‘Shadows Are Security’, featuring career spanning sets and renewed live firepower. The accompanying video, directed by Tom Flynn, captures the track’s emotional gravity and rebirth energy in stark cinematic form.
Following years of turbulent line-up shifts and personal controversy surrounding Lambesis, ‘Echoes’ lands as a statement of reinvention, a band confronting its past while refusing to be defined by it.
