AS I LAY DYING - Albumtitel
Das neue Album wird den Titel "An Ocean Between Us" tragen.
Gitarrist Nick Hipa zur neuen Platte: "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."
Und dann äußert er sich auch noch zum Weggang von Basser Clint Norris: "He wanted to pursue a normal life and he´s getting married, and he was just kind of ready to close a chapter in his life ... So Clint´s moved on, and we´re all still great friends with each other and we´re all at his wedding ... It´s kind of a hard thing to fill, because Clint, not only did he play bass, he did all our clean singing, you know? ... On top of that, he´s a very charismatic and identifiable member of the band. So losing him, it´s hard, but he didn´t write any of the music with us, so . . . it´s not a loss as far as what the band is going to sound like. It´s going to be unusual and maybe a bum-out for many kids who are like, ´Aw, man, I miss that guy.´"
