Cameron Edney at Disciples Of Metal recently caught up with ASI LAY DYING frontman Tim Lambesis. An excerpt from the interview is available below:

Q: Even though you are still riding high on the success of The Powerless Rise, have you begun penning ideas for the next studio album?

Lambesis: "Instead of waiting two – three years to do a new full-length album, we're going to put out something later this year for our tenth anniversary. It will be a combination of new songs, cover songs, and a few remixes. We really wanted to do something to celebrate our tenth anniversary so we're putting together ideas for that. We have three new songs ready to mix."

Q: With the tenth anniversary of the band upon us, what comes to mind when you look back on the early days, the industry has certainly changed a lot since then.

Lambesis: "I look back at how much the industry has changed as a whole. When I first started the band, the songs that I wrote and the ideas I was sharing, we always assumed that with our style of music we would be able to peruse it for a while but then we would have to give up on it and get real jobs. Not only has our genre gotten a lot bigger but the band has developed a lot over the years. When I look back I realize just how much has changed. Some things have changed for the better but certain aspects of the music industry have changed for the worst. I think it's a lot harder for a band to get started now than it was back when we were first writing songs."
