Heavy Metal Sunday gets dystopian.

This morning we feature San Diego's own As I Lay Dying. Never mind the coolness of a band named after a Faulkner novel, these guys have produced some incredibly good metalcore over the last decade. One label that has dogged them is that they are a "Christian band". Vocalist Tim Lambesis stated on the band's FAQ: "I'm not sure what the difference is between five Christians playing in a band and a Christian band. If you truly believe something, then it should affect every area of your life. All five of us are Christians. I believe that change should start with me first, and as a result, our lyrics do not come across very "preachy." Many of our songs are about life, struggles, mistakes, relationships and other issues that don't fit entirely in the spiritual category. However, all of these topics are written about through my perspective as a Christian.." Good attitude.

Today, we present Nothing Left off 2007's An Ocean Between Us
