545 - As I Lay Dying Confined 2005

As I Lay Dying are a Christian metalcore band. They are currently signed to Metal Blade Records. The band's name was taken from the novel of the same name by William Faulkner, but lead vocalist Tim Lambesis has stated that there is no correlation between the meaning of the book and the meaning of the band. The third full-length from this California band finds vocalist Tim Lambesis and drummer Jordan Mancino the only remaining ties to the band that made 2003's Frail Words Collapse. "Shadows Are Security" sounds like a more American record, with songs like "Confined" bringing a strong thrash element into play.
