One of the most popular bands to emerge from the early 2000s wave of "melodic metalcore," As I Lay Dying combined Swedish melodeath inspired riffing with the emotional choruses and heavy breakdowns of core music. Their early releases set the blueprint for many bands to come - but how do the riffs from their latest releases stack up to the first album that put them on the map? You be the judge!
Artist: As I Lay Dying
Albums: Shadows Are Security (2005) and Shaped By Fire (2019) + new single Roots Below (2021)
Tuning: Drop C and Drop A

Shadows Are Security is GOATED. Definition of a metalcore album. Some of the riffs are super unique and fun to play.

@Osh_93 2 года назад

_GOATED_ yeah we're all going to hell for abusing this acronym into oblivion

@jhonny_v._games 2 месяца назад

The only problem with "Shadows Are Security" is the equalization, because you can't feel the guitar riffs' weight. The riffs are heavy, but the equalization doesn't give them feeling they deserve. There's a video where AILD plays "Meaning In Tragedy" in Jumping Turtle, and the equalization makes the song sound as heavy as It really is.

Was a freshman in high school when it came out and I remember thinking… this is the sound I was meant to find. Saw them with All That Remains and Through the Eyes of the Dead and it was all over from there. I was known as that little metal kid (I’m 5’4 now and was around the same height at that time lol)

@ezzyMunero90 2 года назад

One of the things i like about As I Lay Dying is that the music is so melodic. Unlike any other modern metalcore bands which the guitar sounds like broken machinery called "djent". As I Lay Dying makes me headbang right from the intro through the verse, the chorus etc. Other modern bands just use breakdowns to get the people headbanging. But hey, i guess it's just my taste cuz i like melody in metal.

@mikemelara9591 Год назад

I just truly dig how their sound has evolved from album to album. I remember being so amped when they dropped an ocean between us. This band has always strived to focus on generating the most unique sound in their riffs. I give them props to the fullest.

@maynardburger 3 месяца назад

Straight up, the musicians simply got better. The guitarists and drummer became more technically proficient, opening the door for them to do more and be faster/heavier at times, without completely losing what they were originally about. I can play any early As I Lay Dying stuff on guitar no problem, but much of their later stuff gives me problems.

@kusanagisteve7166 2 года назад

Old and new riffs are all dope. I hear most people say that SAS has better riffs but honestly, It's more about their personal preferences and nostalgy. In terms of riff writing, SBF is nowhere less good.
