As I Lay Dying just completed a video for the new single 'A Greater Foundation.' The rock group teamed with director Drew Russ (A Day To Remember, Falling In Reverse) and producer Robby Starbuck for the performance-based clip which was shot on location in Los Angeles. "We were all impressed with Drew's ability to capture the intensity of live band performances in his videos, and 'A Greater Foundation' is no exception, explains bassist JOSH GILBERT. " Drew's technique, along with the all-day participation of some of our diehard fans in Los Angeles, definitely accentuated the energy of the song and makes for an exciting and dynamic video. We can't wait to unveil it!"
For 'Awakened', the San Diego-based band – Nick Hipa (guitar), Tim Lambesis (vocals), Jordan Mancino (drums), Phil Sgrosso (guitar) and Josh Gilbert (bass)– holed up in the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO with renowned rock producer Bill Stevenson (Descendents) and mixer Colin Richardson. 'Awakened' marks the follow-up to the 'Decas' EP (2011) which reached Number 2 on the iTunes Rock Chart. The group's last LP, 2010's immensely successful 'The Powerless Rise', debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at Number 10.
