AS I LAY DYING comments, „We are tremendously grateful to have found positive resolve from the worst moments of our history. The previous chapter of our journey was one of pervasive hurt and pain. Subsequent years found us on varied paths—all of which slowly led towards resolutions of growth, healing, and reconciliation. AS I LAY DYING’s collective purpose is to share a message of hope for everyone through the empowering outlet of music, and we are humbled by the overwhelming support we have received from family, friends, and fans so far.
We are honored to join forces with Nuclear Blast Worldwide in releasing our new album Shaped By Fire. Their legacy and contribution to the heavy music scene is undeniably incredible and we are proud to call their label home. We are thankful for their support and enthusiasm and together we look forward to sharing the best AILD record yet!
In conjunction with our new album announcement, we are excited to share a music video for the title track ‘Shaped by Fire.’ While lyrically akin to the other Shaped By Fire single releases ‘My Own Grave’ and ‘Redefined’, we explored some different musical territory to incorporate within our established sound. We’d like to thank our director Mathis Arnell, all of the crew, and actors that contributed to making this video with us under the very hot conditions!
We look forward to seeing our fans out on the road as we embark on the Latin American, European, and US tours before closing the book on 2019.“
Shaped By Fire was produced by the band and was mixed by Joseph McQueen at Sparrow Sound in Los Angeles, CA while mastering was completed by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in Nashville, TN. The only exception was for the track “My Own Grave” which was produced by AS I LAY DYING, co-produced by Drew Fulk and mixed by Adam “Nolly” Getgood. The artwork was created by Corey Meyers.

„MY OWN GRAVE“ LYRICS
the lies, the weight, deceit, decay
the lies, the weight
it’s clear i lost my way
deceit, decay
decomposing
i thought i was an architect but i was just moving dirt
stacking mud over malice covered-up forming nothing but a pile of hurt
i hadn’t been building (building)
the time was spent digging (digging)
boring the barriers that kept others away (away)
the deeper the walls the less anyone could hear (hear me) fall
so now i know there is no one else to blame
buried alive inside of my own grave
and there’s no one else to blame
buried alive inside of my own grave
inside of my own grave
beneath my lies
delusional enough to think i’d designed something great
like a giant headstone inscribed to describe my shameful fate
i hadn’t been building (building)
the time was spent digging (digging)
an ugly truth from which there was no way to escape (escape)
nowhere left to hide and then finally forced to face what i’d become
buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave)
and there’s no one else to blame
buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave)
what i’d become
buried alive inside my own grave
beneath my pride crushing me
beneath my lies collapsing
but we are still alive
we are still alive
buried alive inside of my own grave
and there’s no one else to blame
buried alive inside of my own grave
MY OWN GRAVE
buried alive inside of my own grave
and there’s no one else to blame
the lies and the weight, i know i lost my way (my way)
what i’d become
buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave)
and there’s no one else to blame
buried alive… buried alive
finally forced to face what i’d become
what i’d become in my own grave (buried)
in my own grave (alive)
