As I Lay Dying’s return:

The band ended their lengthy career back in May 2014, when the band’s frontman Tim Lambesis was sentenced to six years in prison for a charge of solicitation of murder after he tried to hire a hitman in a murder-for-hire plot against his then-wife.

Per a report from Metal Injection, Lambesis only served two and a half years of his prison sentence before getting out early 2017.

Since then, he has released an apology and has tried to make a comeback with the band. Fast forward to June of this year, As I Lay Dying released their first single in almost five years, titled “My Own Grave.”

In addition to the band’s comeback, they also shared the news that they would be playing their first show as a reunited group.

The band played their first show as a newly reunited group on June 16 at Soma Sidestage in San Diego, California. A day after the performance, the band dropped a video recap detailing the experience.

The band said in a statement:

“We are thankful for an environment of love and positivity within and around our renewed relationships. To the family, friends, crew, and fans in attendance at our recent San Diego show, we would like to express our deepest sense of gratitude for making the evening such a meaningful experience.”

Additionally, the band posted a video detailing their return and the reasoning behind their decision to return to their “classic” lineup of Nick Hipa, Josh Gilbert, Jordan Mancino, Phil Sgrosso and Tim Lambesis.

As I Lay Dying hasn’t released a new album since their sixth studio album, 2012’s Awakened.
