As I Lay Dying is one of those metal bands that you just have to appreciate. They are one of the most powerful and aggressive bands going that is able to keep a grindcore vocal (I am amazed that Tim Lambesis is able to keep it up for even one song) and have some totally killer melodic songs backing him up. They’re not all like that though. As I Lay Dying looks for every opportunity to rip the listeners head clean off and succeeds on several occasions on Beneath The Encasing of Ashes. The powerful drumming adds a lot to what they have to offer too. Jordan Mancino’s skin bashing is really top notch on this Pluto release. If you enjoy where Dillinger Escape Plan have been going on their last release then you will get much enjoyment form this As I Lay Dying release. It may take a couple of listens before you realize this bands charm but its there. Oh yes, its there.
