As I Lay Dying is a California metal-hardcore crossover band from San Diego, CA. The group formed as a trio in 2001 with vocalist Tim Lambesis, drummer Jordan Mancino, and guitarist Evan White, and shortly thereafter released Beneath the Encasing of Ashes. A split CD with the American Tragedy followed the next year. In 2003 the band signed with Metal Blade and released Frail Words Collapse. After the album's release, White left the band and the remaining core of the group, Lambesis and Mancino, drafted two guitarist to replace him, Phil Sgrosso and Nick Hipa, and also landed a bass player in Clint Norris. The new lineup recorded Shadows Are Security, released in 2005. As I Lay Dying next issued A Long March: The First Recordings in May 2006, which included their 2001 out of print debut, along with two versions of their songs from the 2002 American Tragedy split. The band then spent that summer on the Sounds of the Underground metal-hardcore tour alongside acts like In Flames, GWAR, Trivium, and Cannibal Corpse. Soon after, Clint Norris left to pursue life as a family man and Josh Gilbert replaced him on bass. With the addition of Gilbert's vocal harmonies, the band's sound became more melodic, and in August 2007, the group released their fourth album, An Ocean Between Us. ~ Wade Kergan, All Music GuideMore

What the fuck, dude, your the faggot
I have nothing against AILD, except that they're overly popular, they still make decent music
Theyre vocal style is more screaming, i prefer the old school growl style
But dissing old school shows that you have no fucking clue what your talking about, you dont know "good metal". Old school is THE best kind of metal, Morbid Angel, Death, Slayer, Testament, Dark Angel, Pestilence, Samael, they're much better than 'metalcore'
Metalcore can be good, but only a few bands are like Shadows Fall, AILD, Lamb of god

i really think this band manipulates its vocals
normal death metal vocals dont sound like that, see morbid angel, death, obituary, oldschool death metal for natural death metal vocals
