AS I LAY DYING Release Shaped By Fire (Deluxe Version) + Release Live Music Video For "My Own Grave"!

San Diego quartet AS I LAY DYING unleashed their seventh full-length album Shaped By Fire onto the world via Nuclear Blast on September 20, 2019. Today, the band releases the Shaped By Fire (Deluxe Version) which features live and instrumental versions as well as re-interpretations of the original tracks. In celebration, the band offers fans the live music video for "My Own Grave". Check out the video from their show in Munich that was edited by Mike Demellia, below.

Phil Sgrosso comments: "The initial idea was to create a deluxe version stemmed from leftover material written for the Shaped By Fire album. Some of it was re-purposed for b-sides and several tracks were used for the live show exclusively, until now.

More recently. we had an interest to recreate 'My Own Grave' into a more stripped-down/orchestral version inspired by the 90’s 'Unplugged' era that we all grew up with. We also became interested in a new version for 'Redefined', incorporating a heavier electronic element. The live versions for 'Blinded' and 'My Own Grave' were captured on our last European tour in Munich, which was one of the biggest and most high-energy shows to date.

For the first time ever, we’ve released an instrumental album version to showcase the musical aspect. Just like when we’re writing initial demos, the music is step one in captivating the listener’s attention so the intricacies and details of the music are a little more prevalent here.

It was a fun experience to breathe some new life back into Shaped By Fire. We’re all very proud of this album and are always encouraged by our fans’ support and enthusiasm for new AILD music over the past 20 years."

UNDER THE GUILLOTINE’ THE NOISE RECORDS YEARS DELUXE BOX SET TO BE RELEASED ON FEBRUARY 26th 2020!

PRE-ORDER HERE https://kreator.lnk.to/GuillotinePR

The story of Kreator’s meteoric rise to the global elite of thrash metal bands from their humble beginnings in Essen Germany, began under their first name of Tormentor in the early 80’s. It was their ‘Blitzkreig’ and ‘End Of The World’ demos changing hands in the era’s bustling underground tape-trading network that exposed them to the international metal community. Positive word of mouth soon attracted the attention of Germany’s own metal start-up, Noise Records, which signed the newly re-christened Kreator to a deal.

Kreator’s tenure at the label spawned six studio albums and established them as one of the most influential on the thrash scene, one they dominate to this day. 1985 debut, Endless Pain was a savage debut; its crude thrashing quickly had the underground metal world abuzz with excitement. 1986’s Follow up, Pleasure To Kill is considered the band’s first “classic” album and raised the bar with more diversity of tempos, while losing nothing in terms of ferocity or speed. 1987’s Terrible Certainty further cemented the reputation that Kreator were one of the genre’s finest exponents. In 1989 the band closed the decade with the thrash triumph of Extreme Aggression, their biggest seller to date. 1990’s huge magnum opus Coma Of Souls confirmed them in thrash history before they diversified their sound on the experimental, Renewal in 1992.

Under The Guillotine is a deluxe celebration of Kreator’s, Noise Records discography and is the definitive collection of their first decade of recorded work and contains :

ABOUT SLEEP TOKEN

Sleep Token's unique dark star is spectacularly on the rise, and it's an ascent achieved against the grain.

Over EPs One and Two, plus debut full-length, Sundowning, issued in 2019 under a new worldwide deal with Spinefarm Records, Sleep Token has turned established means of practice upside down — forging a fresh path based on intrigue and emotive and genre-defying compositions. Add to that an unbreakable bond with fans – self-styled "worshippers" – around the world.

From June 2019 onwards, the 12 tracks that make up Sundowning were issued digitally in a precisely-timed sequence supported by bespoke visuals leading to a full physical release in November. This tailored unveiling reflected both the Sundowning concept (ie: the relationship between natural forces and the human psyche), plus the fact that at the heart of Sleep Token world, an ever-evolving domain, stands the unique, broad-based vision of a single entity – anonymous, silent, masked, armed with a staggering vocal range, a deft touch on the keyboards plus a live approach that is never less than fully engaged; a powerful upfront presence flanked by a collection of live musicians (also anonymous, also masked) who will likely shift in number and intent, contributing according to the demands of the music.

The idea here is not to baffle or to shock, rather to keep the spotlight on a fast-growing body of music that runs the full creative span, seamlessly veering from the heavy and the technical to the beautiful and the fragile, the weight of real emotion knotting everything together.

Not only did Sundowning receive widespread praise from followers, peers and critics, it also supported a live campaign that saw Sleep Token appearing at key international festivals, touring the U.S. for the first time, making high-profile guest appearances, and becoming a true headliner in the UK, quickly selling out shows, upgrading to bigger venues, then selling those out, too.

Simply, in a world of form and genre, Sleep Token cannot be confined.
