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.

After being relatively quiet since Lambesis’ release, today (June 1) the band’s official Facebook page changed their profile picture to what we can only assume is a possible album cover.

In addition to a new profile picture, the band also uploaded a quick, 45-second clip of what appears to be a new music video. The newly uploaded video doesn’t show anyone’s face, so there’s no way of knowing what the band’s current lineup is.

Check out the video below:

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