Everyone leaves AILD again

2024-10-24 by DatsNotDaMetulz | 243 Comments
As I Lay Dying have entered a new crisis as they lead up to the release of their new album Through Storms Ahead and European tour, which has now been thrown into doubt.

The current crisis started on 18 October when bassist Ryan Neff left the band, revealing little about the reasons for his departure. Then, on 23 October, the band's tour manager quit, amidst rumours that the band were cancelling dates on their upcoming tour of Europe.

On 24 October, guitarist Ken Susi and drummer Nick Pierce both announced their departures, both citing moral reasons for their departure which further fueled speculation about the band. Phil Sgrosso, as of writing, has announced a personal statement from himself will come in due course.

As I Lay Dying have endured a turbulent time since their reunion in 2018, after frontman Tim Lambesis served time in jail for attempting to have his estranged wife assassinated. While the classic lineup of Sgrosso, Nick Hipa, Josh Gilbert and Jordan Mancino originally returned, all except Sgrosso eventually departed, citing Tim Lambesis' unrepentant behaviour as a reason for leaving. The most recent line-up has been together since 2022, with the sole album with this configuration, Through Storms Ahead, set to be released on 15 November via Napalm Records.

UPDATE 25/10/2024: In possibly related news, the band's 2019 album Shaped By Fire, their sole effort on Nuclear Blast, has been quietly removed from all streaming services. No parties have acknowledged the removal and no reasons have been given as to why. All of the group's previous efforts, released via Metal Blade, and their recent singles through Napalm, remain online. The albums were subsequently re-distributed via Distrokid.

UPDATE 30/10/2024: Phil Sgrosso has now confirmed his departure from the band with a statement. Read more: https://www.theprp.com/2024/10/30/news/phil-sgrosso-quits-as-i-lay-dying-recent-actions-have-shown-that-as-i-lay-dying-no-longer-offers-a-healthy-or-safe-environment-for-anyone-involved/

UPDATE 27/11/2024: After video footage surfaced online appearing to show Lambesis behaving erratically and abusive towards his wife Dany, he has put a statement on his Instagram page alleging that it is in fact he who is the victim of domestic abuse, claiming that he has filed for divorce and a restraining order against Dany Norris.

By the time I enjoyed my right to adequate medical care — while incarcerated — the damage was done. I now suffer the adverse adornment of fully formed breasts, respectively, upon my physique — that is, a permanent gynecomastic consitution. To date, the pain and ultra-sensitivity associated with my, now, male mammaries remains. Worst of, all is the anxiety and depression I experience just knowing, feeling, seeing, the protuberances that are my male breasts.

As I am a stage performer by profession, much of my act is based upon the visual stimulus of audience perception — i.e., as a front man of leading rockstardom, my continued success is contingent upon my projecting a favorable physical image, Now, with the advent of these unsightly breasts, my music career shall undoubtedly suffer monetarily.

As a huge fan of the band's early material and also someone who enjoyed their 2019 album "Shaped By Fire", this is admittedly very troubling news and reeks with a stench of beyond foul.

I’d add the new singles have been decent.

So many knee jerk reactions to this. It’s obviously “not nothing” but I’m patiently waiting to see what exactly it was. Either way, AILD is probably cooked.

@00LoGFan00 - The new singles have been fine, there's nothing about them that makes them distinguishable or special, but they also don't feel amateur or anything either.

I also noticed "Shaped By Fire" was pulled suddenly from a bunch of places. I purchased the album back in 2019 (on iTunes) and I deleted it to save space, and I tried redownloading it and it's not letting me. Licensing can be aggravating

AILD (or Tim) have put out a statement regarding Shaped By Fire claiming that after 5 years the rights returned to the band which is why it's gone down.

I'm not buying it. It would be one HELL of a coincidence for that to just happen at the same time as the band imploding and have no relation to it.

Realistically it was going to continue with or without them. What else could Tim have going for him outside the music industry, might as well give it another chance and claim progress was made and ride off a redemption arc. The newer guys I think just really underestimated how bad being involved with Tim would be and saw a chance to dip.

I really don't give a shit what Tim says "Blah Blah the steroids made me do it." Look man I've been an addict for over half my life and had some crazy thoughts but never did I want to hurt someone. Even at my lowest. The fact that this dude was going to have his wife murdered tells me all I need to know about him as a person. The rest of the band should have recognized this.

Lmao I love that he could even consider the idea of roids as a legitimate claim to something as irrationally amoral as trying to kill your wife.

Some people react to the hormonal effects more strongly than others, but there is absofuckinglutely a unit of hate in your very soul if you decide to kill your wife no matter -what- substance or circumstance exacerbated it

Yeah unless it triggers a fullblown psychotic break then it just intensifies any underlying desires and nobody forced him to take them anyway. My friend got more aggressive when he took it and we stopped hanging with him until eventually he went off it but it doesn't lead you to a premeditated crime

Someone from my high school was murdered by a guy on meth who got a reduced sentence because he was under the influence, I couldn't believe it...he should have gotten an even longer sentence because not only did he commit murder he was using an illicit substance. What message does that send? Anyone thinking of murdering someone should make sure they take hard drugs beforehand

You offensively dense muppet, I said he wasn't the cartoonish comic book villain you need him to be to justify voting for the genocide-funding incumbent

Of course, Trump has fascistic tendencies, is an enemy of free speech (wants to jail flag burners) and will also fund genocide, which is why I'm not fucking voting for him.

But any assertion that he's going to completely "terminate" the constitution, and strip away *every* right for *every* person crosses a threshold into lunacy that only detracts from legitimate reasons to condemn him.

But go ahead and keep putting words in my mouth because you're either too deliberately obtuse or too much of a fucking idiot to understand that America is an oligarchy and complicit in, among other atrocities, a genocide, in part because our electorate's standards are in the fucking ground, and that will *not* change as long as you keep nihilistically resigning yourself to a bullshit binary choice of "shit sandwich" and "shit sandwich"

Watched an interview with Tim from 2 years ago because I had nothing better to do with my brief time on earth apparently and he's such a fucking loser even in the way he talks - no humor, no interesting insights, just a fucking meathead scumbag.

He even said he wishes he could go back and re-record AILD albums with the over processed bullshit that metalcore is full of today where they only do one vocal line at a time and make sure it's devoid of any emotion before laying down another one

Tim hasn't yet realized that when he was 19 years old his vision was wrong. It's time to pack it in. And gee I WONDER WHY more than 20 people have come and gone I REALLY WONDERRRRR

While I'm sure the decision from every member (and manager) to leave so abruptly absolutely speaks numbers, and the counter statement from "As I Lay Dying" (the vocalist) is the equivalent of spamming suggested words when writing a text message, there's some odd humor in this. The record drops Friday, and everyone left. It's beyond apparent that there's clearly one problem, but also it's beyond apparent that there's a fanbase that just won't care. The dude can hire musicians that possibly want an 'in' to the industry, and just keep going indefinitely.

I'll be checking out the record out of sheer curiosity, but I'm not expecting anything from it as everything that's been released so far hasn't really worked the best. I'm also fully on board from what most of these comments are suggesting that the concerts just become a 'karaoke show' instead. Or do something in between where you just grab randoms from the street, give them $50 for them to pretend to play instruments for an hour with backing tracks the whole time - it'll ensure that every show the 'lineup' will be different, which could be hilarious

The video is about 40 seconds long. Tim and his wife appear to be arguing in their bedroom. I didn't have the audio on but it seems like his wife tries to emphasize a point and he immediately grabs her and seems to hold her down on the bed for a few seconds before getting up and continuing to yell. If roid rage looks like a dude turning tomato red, veins popping, eyes bulging then that's what Tim looks to be going through. They keep arguing, he sits back down on the bed grabs and holds his wife's face while continuing to yell and then bangs on his head and chest multiple times, screams, and then grabs the phone.

"I'm not surprised he's melting down, his entire life is fucked. He should probably quit roids"

his entire life certainly isn't fucked. He's been able to start over multiple times and he has plenty of money to live off of. He definitely needs some kind of intervention and repurpose his life towards something constructive that he can leave his ego out of. Cutting the roids would be a great start since there's no practical purpose to getting that huge and he's been a big dude for like 15 years now...

I think he should work on a golf course for a while. Wouldn't that be nice? He could be nice.

when I said his entire life is fucked I was less referring to his financials, more to him alienating literally every band member he's ever worked with and having a broken home life. He's been having a very public mental breakdown for like the past decade. I'm not usually a big proponent of interventions but this might be an exception

Jesus they both sound absolutely toxic. If Tim is a victim of abuse, that sucks and I hope he can escape. That doesn't absolve him from being a piece of shit in his own right (and there's tons of evidence indicating this), but I'd be a hypocrite if I chose to disbelieve his own claims simply because I don't like the dude.

I will say, as much as Tim wants to paint a picture in his favor, the fact that he's left as the sole member of 2 different bands says a lot about the power dynamics in that marriage.
