That’s what I was thinking. You can clearly hear each instrument and it’s role in the song. All the crazy and insane screaming music really do a disservice to songs like this.
@@LaughingSkull451 Killswitch, Underoath, Shadows Fall, Darkest Hour, Unearth, All That Remains, Soilwork, Heaven Shall Burn, and Sylosis also do it pretty well.
of course my friend im listening to this piece of epicness since 2007. its a shame that the original track on youtube had been deleted. i will be here in 2025, mwabe we´ll see again;) :D edit: i meant "original video" track was the wrong use of words. see ya....maybe;)

Rest in peace to my auntie sara Jean potts. My lovely aunt who helped watch over me as a child... if it wasn't for you I wouldn't know this song. You helped to raise me right. You introduced me to amazing music amazing films. I miss you so much. It took me hours to find this song but it was on the tip of my tongue and the whole time I thought of you.
I was in their show in New Delhi, and took selfies with Josh and Jordan..i have heard them in 2007 first and met them in 2020... One of the best Band in metalcore history..
The long bass rings during the solo. What absolute mastery. By far one the best bass support lines in a solo that I've heard. You can feel the discomfort build up. Simple, powerful.
when I saw them live in Alaska back in like 2010 I literally had to go to the back of the concert and laydown...I couldn't hang...blessing in disguise I got to really see them preform without people trying to flatten me and it was a masterpiece
And to this day, the very talented members of KSE still shine through. Whether by artwork, producing and mixing, even engineering albums for many of these bands. Uplifting is and understatement.
@@beyondthegrave852 Rediscovering music from my youth and seeing how much of a hand Adam D had in producing or writing my all time favs is really eye opening. Had to be one of the best metalcore songwriters from this era
Many years ago this was my favorite song from AILD. And I used to be able to play 90% of this song except parts of the guitar solo, I would play it hundreds of time in my room while messing with my amp settings to get different sounds and distortions and I loved it. It is a very intense and challenging song (at least for me it was), but lots of fun to play!
I just heard new music by them for the first time in years and had to look back to see and YES I remember this song! I had this whole album. MAN this brings back some memories
This is my comfort riff lol one of the first things I tried to learn on guitar, after way more basic stuff. Took months, was so proud. This song is such a legend now.
Welcome back as I lay dying!!!! My neck and ears aren't ready! I can't wait to be trapped in your legendary music again. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance. Sorry metalcore music. .your gods have just returned!
Guys this is Christian, can you not tell? "We have followed what we wanted to hear"? Totally humanity. All we do is want to hear stuff only we want to hear and never let God's Word into us and influence us. I'm sorry if I'm preaching, but it's just what I believe. May metal never die.
There is a sort of duality with all their lyrics, and it's kind of genius. But I think that Lambesis was progressively becoming less of a christian and more of an atheist very early in As I Lay Dying's history, and it really shows in their lyrics. Even by this album, I think he had totally let go of christianity and embraced atheism."For what use is there in praying, If you will only hear what you want to hear?". It's even more apparent if you look at the bands that they toured with; Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth, Opeth, Slayer. Christian bands usually stick together and stay away from bands like the ones I mentioned. It's worth mentioning that Lambesis was the main lyricist in the band, and so the other guys may have maintained their faith where as Tim completely let it go. Being an atheist myself, I went through the entire roster of christian metal when I was young; culminated by attending cornerstone in '06, and I still enjoy some of the not so preachy christian bands today. I've experienced their shows on both sides of the spectrum; early in their career with christian bands like Haste the Day, August Burns Red and Demon Hunter, and later with the death metal bands like Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth and Opeth. I do believe I can be objective in the argument and I have watched As I Lay Dying from the very beginning of their career, and I have always felt they didn't belong in the genre of christian metal.
Garrett Thomas BTW "We have followed what we wanted to hear" is a diss to Christianity, not the opposite. That's why religion is popular. Because people want to hear it, and even though it's false, people will follow it just because it sounds nice.
Wow, can't believe that I said that so long ago. I apologize for being so ignorant. I should have looked online for the lyrics and done my research before making this comment. For the longest time I thought it was Christian due to the fact that my brother showed it to me when he was going through his Christian metal phase, and I thought that that was what it was. I know that is no excuse, but I just want to say I'm sorry. And if there is a small chance that the band is reading this, I would also like to apologize for twisting your song's message to fit my own personal agenda. It was wrong and there is no excuse for it.
Roberto Bratti Yeah, that doesn't change the fact that the guy tried to hire someone to kill his wife. Talent shouldn't give you a free pass on being a psycho.
somanytakennames the fact is we dont know shit about Megan. Maybe she wanted to take his kids and money away? Desparate people tend to do desparate things.. I am not ofc saying it was okay, just I dont have the whole picture of things so I cant judge.

The lead riff of this song is absolutely legendary.
agreed Bro, tricky to play as well to be honest and the solo
It's not really a riff lol but yeah
what would you class it as Bro? I think riff is just what everyone understands easiest
Relentless Ohio state eee
true statement
gotta be one of the most musically technical metalcore tracks without sounding like its trying too hard, i really love this
From the last age of good misic
As I Lay Dying and August Burns Red did it best. Nobody else in the genre can do it better.
@@LaughingSkull451 Trivium and UnEarth even better

One of the greatest sounding songs I have ever heard. And it is incredibly fun to play on guitar
FusRoDah2 you have all heard, what you wanted to hear!
i think the same, my favourite to hear and play
Dude I want to learn this on guitar!!!!!!!!!
Probably one of the best Metalcore albums ever.

One of the best melodic metalcore albums ever...right up there with the fall of ideals (all that remains)
Actually shadows are security is when they peaked like the fall of ideals is when all that remains did.
@@atvena Bs, Shadows are Security was a sick album but An Ocean Between Us is so much better.
Awakened was a killer album too! Not as legendary as An Ocean Between Us but it was still a phenomenal album.
2020 here...
A classic.
You are absolutely correct!!!!!!!!!!
A Classic Metalcore

Don't say that bro u make me feel old a.f 😂😂😂
Sem dúvidas mano
listening to this for 7 years now, still one of the best metalcore bands in the world
One of the best riffs in Metalcore. Ever.

When the riff is so strong you say fuck it and just make it the entire song lol

Haha right
lol best comment.
Wouldn't have it any other way, lol.

May she rest in peace
Fuck ya. Much respect to your aunt. Keep metal alive!
Sounds like a awesome aunty dude.
Thanks yall, she really was the best! And yesss let's keep metal alive!!
This song will always be a classic! One of my first favorites as a metal fan, starting my journey into metal all those years ago. All hail AILD!

try fucking gorgeous.

As I Lay Dying is the greatest metalcore band ever in my book and there's absolutely no room for discussion.
All that Remains said hold my beer.
@@larrytheshark3945they're not consistent like AILD
So many years and i still come back to listen this masterpiece. That riffs bro that solo so sexy, unique and magical!

Love you brother.

I just heard new music by them for the first time in years and had to look back to see and YES I remember this song! I had this whole album. MAN this brings back some memories
I first heard this on a Xbox 360 game called “Reflex: MX vs ATV” and I Love this song!
Same here 🤟🤟
Honestly i still playing that game after years bro.
Midnight club Los Angeles complete edition has one of their songs on it.
People saying they still sound the same today clearly never listened to this album
Good times. Now the bands gone

Skill and experiences dude, that's it.
2021 still heavy and chills 🖤
I heard this on MX Vs ATV Reflex and now I'm really into the band.
I've always wanted to know what that song was 😂 it's so sick
I knew wasn't the only one... :D Man, great game, great music, great times...
Ay ay, that game had one hell of a soundtrack !
Nathan Jumper hells yeah!!!
I heard it there too!
2019 stil gives me chills
Raybombs fuck ya
Yea it was a great year
Here in 2024 ! Happy New Years to all AILD fans 🎉
Deadass a great start on the road to grasp the speedpicking technique on guitar. Thank you AILD.
Heard of this band many times but had no clue I had heard them before until I looked at the credits for MX vs. ATV Reflex.

Yeeeee
I pick stuff up set it back down and repeat to this daily 💪
Ready
I wonder how many people are gonna come back to this now the band is completely broken up
Personally, This will forever be a banger no matter what.
Might be my favourite song by these guys but its hard to pick because they're so bloody consistent through all their albums. 🐐🐐🐐🐐
This song makes me cry 💜😭🎶 It is so perfect 🤘
Absolutely amazing
Thank you MX vs ATV for showing this.
I really miss these guys and especially Lambesis.
+Roberto Bratti he will be back, ja.

How come I didn't discover this band much eariler?
Dude this band is a classic haha
WhereTheWavesAreBorn hell yeah been listening do em since highschool that was 10 years ago
Sorry man, that Era came n went fast, metal core died to "heavier" core music
I follow them since 2006
AILD has been a daily listen for over a decade and for me it all started with The Sound of Truth 🤙🏻
The song that put this band on my radar back in high school. KILLER tune. The MEMORIES!
"We have all heard what we want to hear." - how does he know we're listening to this song!?
We had the best Metalcore era when we were kids and I'll always appreciate that.
🙏
Very profound lyrics appreciate your music. Very enjoyable
It’s 2021 and this song still destroys. Love live HARDCORE
Hell yea man 🤟🤜🤛🤟
I miss this! Great band!
The lyrics are quite profound, and the instrumentals show equal weight. finally read the lyrics as if recent
Been looking for this intro riff for 4 years, finally found it!!!!❤
If only the judge listened to a metalcore...
Lol hahahaha xD
The wife would probably end in jail instead xd
I listen to metalcore; but did not preside over the then matter :)
Haha
Ironically I'm listening to metalcore to prepare for court today
Que banda foda!!! Abraços do BRASIL!
That's solo! The music is awesome ! ❤
So goddamn good. Getting me through the storm right now.
Still hear this song. Anyone's 2019??
Jep Core till 3030 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👌🏽
Till Earth gets burnt
No 2023
This brings me back to my teenage years where life was so much easier , so much goosebumps !!
Partied out with these guys once. Happy time in Austin apt complex.

Riff is perfect, but solo is absolutely fantastic. Grandiose.
Still my favorite album of theirs
this and Shadows are AILD's peak
Probarly the best metal solo ever!.
*For what use is praying? If only you can hear what you want to hear....* Hits hard even tho I don’t pray...
just listened to the intro probably 200+ times, epic af
OMFG I have been missing out this band all these years. What a song! Love the riffs!
if youre here in 2024, you surely have a great taste in music
J'ai 33 ans. Ce groupe est un de mes premiers y a 20 ans. On est toujours là t'inquiètes pas 🤘🫶
This album is spectacular
First metal song I fell in love with.
Chills again and again.
Only 2.4 million 🤦♂️ what an under rating. They shoulda got 15 million just for the opening intro and that lead guitar lick alone 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The truth of sound right to your ear!!! (2024)
This song is still a HIT, MAN
Idk about y'all but it's almost 2019 and ima still jam this!!
Sounds so much better then nowadays music. Music that comes on the radio is lik getting brainwashed 😵
This song will always give me goosebumps, absolute gassssssss
this is mindblowing
I came across this band a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm hooked! Can anyone recommend other metalcore bands?
Caliban
Heaven Shall Burn
Unearth (the old Songs like zombie Autopilot)
All that remains (especially the Album The Fall of ideals)
try also Darkest Hour out!
they are a mix between melodic death Metal and Metalcore

lol
This entire song and its sequel are legendary!!!!!!!
That is the sound of truth
3:03 - 3:24 is life. I love it because it to me is just the signature Balls To The Wall pure metal sound.
2022 and still one of my favs
These guys are sorely missed on the metal scene. Why Tim, why?!
when does Tim get out of prison?
+AllucardDoesShit He is two years into a six year sentence...
he got out last week. 4 years early
Any info on whether or not hes gonna put out more music soon?
There are talks saying that he wants to reform As I Lay Dying, but not with the same guys than before.
2018 !!!
Best song for Bench press🔥🤘
Never left 🎉
Amazing.
Maaan dat riff is legendary
Who love this magical song and beautiful solo
Next time someone asks me what kinda music I like I'll just send them to this song
I missed em sooo fukkin much its so good to have this amazing band back!!!
Wonder if Tim realised he made a mistake 🤔
@@Jean_1999 im sure he did
I remember hearing this on MTV2 when i was in middle school years ago. My mom was controlling as hell so i would throw stuff like this on my Napster.
hands down the #1 song off the #1 album of all metalcore
Possibly my favorite solo of all time from this band. So fucking awesome
the chorus is legendary
Good band. Great sound
I like this song forever
MySpace song back in the day 👌
This riff still hits hard
