On February 5, 2027, Grammy-nominated metalcore pioneers As I Lay Dying return with their new self-titled album, As I Lay Dying, via Napalm Records. For 25 years, the band has helped shape the global metalcore scene through eight acclaimed studio albums, uncompromising heaviness and unmistakable melodic songwriting. With the two new singles “Polarized” and “Retribution”, As I Lay Dying showcase two deliberately contrasting sides of their new album.
“Polarized” leans into a more melodic and accessible direction, combining heavy riffs with an immediate, driving song structure. “Retribution” takes a darker, faster and more aggressive approach, highlighting the heavier side of the band’s sound. Together, the two tracks offer an early look at the musical range of As I Lay Dying, with much of the album occupying the space between those two directions. Both songs are also available together as a physical vinyl single, and new material will be brought to the stage during the band’s upcoming North American tours.
“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 AILD 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,” said the band.
