░ ░
Global metal titans As I Lay Dying kick off their second decade
together with Awakened, the sixth and hands-down most powerful release
of a stunning career. Seething with metallic vitriol, overflowing with
energy, and rich with the kind of melody that irrevocably implants
itself in the listener's mind, it is the sound of a band pushing
themselves to outdo everything that has come before, be it their own
previous work, or that of their contemporaries, and daring all to do
better.From the flurry of blastbeats and mauled guitar that kick off
opener "Cauterize" to the epic darkness of closer "Tear Out My Eyes",
the musicianship and arrangements are consistently riveting, the band
showcasing their strengths while subtly introducing thrilling new
elements to their sound. "There's nothing totally out of left-field,
we just refined our songwriting and incorporated some ideas that bring
a real freshness to the record," Sgrosso states. "We wanted something
that was a lot bigger and more open sounding, and that's exactly what
we achieved.""Going into this one, in the back of my mind was always
how are people going to react to this when we play it live?' So
there's still plenty of fast stuff on this record, but there's more
grooves and some different vibes going on," Sgrosso explains.Lyrically
speaking, Awakened sees Lambesis move away from the outward themes of
The Powerless Rise, in favor of a more introspective approach.While
his lyrics have always had far more relevance to fans than those of
most metal bands, delving deeper and rewarding repeat listens;
Lambesis admits that Awakened is a far darker, more pessimistic beast.
But this does not mean that there is not positivity to be found in
this approach: "On this record, I wasn't purposefully trying to be
negative, but I think sometimes we have to be honest with some of the
darker and more difficult times of our lives to get back to that
positivity. While the lyrics do perhaps seem like a dark window into
my soul, they're written that way specifically because I want to move
on and transcend those difficult moments in life."Having previously
worked with producer (and Killswitch Engage guitarist) Adam Dutkiewicz
on 2007's An Ocean Between Us and The Powerless Rise, Awakened is the
first time that the band collaborated with producer (and punk rock
legends The Descendents drummer) Bill Stevenson. With the likes of
Rise Against, Comeback Kid, and NOFX on his production resume, the
choice of Stevenson as producer was an inspired one. "We wanted to
work with somebody who was outside the box for our genre, but involved
enough in underground music that they would understand the mentality
of our band.""Bill's the perfect choice because he has that really
rich history, but hasn't been so entrenched in metal that he's going
to make cliched suggestions." Sgrosso concurs with this, believing
Stephenson's outside perspective contributed to stronger songs and a
more cohesive record overall. "Bill is a very intelligent guy, and
he'll be honest with you - if he's not feeling it he'll tell you
straight, I'm just bored here, something else needs to happen. He'd
look at a song and instinctively know what would improve it, and
having that fresh perspective onboard helped so much."While on their
previous records the band spent an average of two months in the
studio, this time out they had only a three and a half week window
between tours to track all eleven songs. Understandably, this placed a
great deal of pressure on the proceedings, but that pressure added to
the urgency of the recordings, and in the band's opinion, lead to a
more streamlined, more aggressive, and overall better record. Sgrosso
and Lambesis concur that it is also the first album by the band that
all five members can wholly get behind. "On our past albums there's
always a couple of songs we dread getting requests for because they're
not our favorites to play live, but that's not the case with this
record. If we needed to choose five for a set we could pick any five
and all of them would go over great live," Lambesis states. "This
feels like a record that we could finally play from start to finish
live" Sgrosso adds, "and the fact that we've managed to do that with
this record makes us all extremely proud."Bio written by Dan Slessor.
