Marking the 20th Anniversary of Shadows Are Security, AS I LAY DYING are embarking on a commemorative tour to honor two decades since the release of their seminal album.
Press release states: “Metalcore legends AS I LAY DYING are hitting the road to commemorate two decades of their groundbreaking album Shadows Are Security. Join us for a special tour featuring performances from Shadows Are Security, along with fan favorites from across the band’s career.”
However, details surrounding the current lineup remain unclear, with no official announcements yet regarding who will perform alongside frontman Tim Lambesis. The uncertainty is particularly notable given the band’s tumultuous recent history.
The controversy surrounding Lambesis and his estranged wife Dany came to a head late last year, with viral footage showing Lambesis in a highly agitated state during several confrontations. These incidents coincided with the band’s complete lineup collapse, as members exited one by one, each citing behavior they could no longer support. In response, Lambesis attributed his actions to anxiety and accused Dany of abuse, suggesting the footage was leaked in retaliation after he filed for divorce.
Further damage came when additional footage surfaced showing Lambesis allegedly being abusive toward his dog. And in April, former guitarist Ken Susi publicly refuted Lambesis’s version of events, detailing his own experiences during the band’s implosion in a candid interview.
While things have been quiet since, the recent partnership with FM Music Management signals that Lambesis is actively rebuilding. No new lineup has been announced yet, and the band’s future remains uncertain—especially with fans still divided over Lambesis’s past, which includes a 2014 prison sentence for attempting to hire a hitman to murder his then-wife.
