AS I LAY DYING comments, "We are tremendously grateful to have found positive resolve from the worst moments of our history. The previous chapter of our journey was one of pervasive hurt and pain. Subsequent years found us on varied paths—all of which slowly led towards resolutions of growth, healing, and reconciliation. AS I LAY DYING's collective purpose is to share a message of hope for everyone through the empowering outlet of music, and we are humbled by the overwhelming support we have received from family, friends, and fans so far.

We are honored to join forces with Nuclear Blast Worldwide in releasing our new album Shaped By Fire. Their legacy and contribution to the heavy music scene is undeniably incredible and we are proud to call their label home. We are thankful for their support and enthusiasm and together we look forward to sharing the best AILD record yet!

In conjunction with our new album announcement, we are excited to share a music video for the title track 'Shaped by Fire.' While lyrically akin to the other Shaped By Fire single releases 'My Own Grave' and 'Redefined', we explored some different musical territory to incorporate within our established sound. We’d like to thank our director Mathis Arnell, all of the crew, and actors that contributed to making this video with us under the very hot conditions!

We look forward to seeing our fans out on the road as we embark on the Latin American, European, and US tours before closing the book on 2019."

Shaped By Fire was produced by the band and was mixed by Joseph McQueen at Sparrow Sound in Los Angeles, CA while mastering was completed by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in Nashville, TN. The only exception was for the track “My Own Grave” which was produced by AS I LAY DYING, co-produced by Drew Fulk and mixed by Adam “Nolly” Getgood. The artwork was created by Corey Meyers.

"SHAPED BY FIRE" LYRICS

the wise before me chose to refine themselves
melt away their shortcomings by enduring trials
a process we will all undertake
even if we try to prevent change

face it before you are pulled in
face it while it’s still within

like iron shaped by fire
we aren’t born this way
shaped by fire
we are reborn through pain
we aren’t born this way
we are reborn through pain

though i too have endured fire
i wasn’t wise enough to ignite the flame myself
but carried enough fuel for a flicker to excel

face it before you are pulled in
face it while it’s still within (x2)

shaped by fire
we aren’t born this way
shaped by fire
we are reborn through pain
we aren’t born this way
we are reborn through pain (x2)

the time has come to watch the fire grow
find new things to throw in don’t let the flames get low
i’ve grown used to the heat
that makes me reevaluate
what i carry with me
and what should be thrown away

face it before you are pulled in
face it while it’s still within

shaped by fire
we aren’t born this way
shaped by fire
we are reborn through pain
we aren’t born this way
we are reborn through pain (x2)
