As I Lay Dying release new music video for ‘The Cave We Fear To Enter’

AS I LAY DYING have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Cave We Fear To Enter, is the brand new single from the American metalcore band and follows on from their previous single, Burden, which was released back in May.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, frontman Tim Lambesis says, “this is the first time I’ve written lyrics based on an idea started by someone else in the band. Sometimes, when we try out different melodies, we’ll temporarily use words that just happen to fit as a placeholder. But on this song, Ryan chose words that he felt represented what he had been processing leading up to the demo. It felt right for me to leave that therapeutic expression in place. So, when I took over, the imagery of a cave where you face your fears came to mind. While I only know a little of Joseph Campbell’s work, the imagery brought to mind a quote of his that I remembered and used for inspiration as well.”

Guitarist Phil Sgrosso adds, “The Cave We Fear To Enter may be one of our most adventurous songs to date. We broke out of a lot of old habits and formulaic moves to create something that touches on a lot of emotional elements we haven’t explored so deeply before. From its inception, it was instantly a favorite for all of us.

We really enjoyed collaborating with Tom Flynn on the video to combine the storylines between Burden and The Cave We Fear To Enter, continuing the journey of the character through new environments and circumstances. It was a lot of fun to take new creative risks to tell this story visually alongside the somber and uplifting nature of the song.”
