The band Consists of 5 members:

• Tim Lambesis (Lead Singer)
• Jordan Mancino (Drummer)
• Josh Gilbert (Bassist, Back up vocals)
• Phill Sgrosso (Rythm Guitar)
• Nick Hipa (Lead Guitar)

My favourite album to date has got to be An ocean lay between us, with it being the most melodic of all the albums. It also contains my favourite song by As I Lay Dying, Forsaken.
An Ocean Lay Between Us was recorded while AILD were under the label of Metal Blade.

The Lead Guitarist from Nick Hipa from Finland had this to say about the album,

"Collectively we've all pushed ourselves, and we're all doing things that we weren't even capable of doing on the last record. And on top of just experimenting and trying different things, I think we just wrote some pretty sick jams, so I'm happy with it. That's all I can say. For kids who like our band and think they know what to expect from us, it might throw them off a little bit . . . I encourage anybody who likes our band to approach this album with an open mind."

If your a fanof metalcore you DEFINATELY should be a fan of As I Lay Dying...
