AS I LAY DYING Guitarist - "New Album In Early 2010"
May 28, 2009, 15 years ago
Vince Neilstein of MetalSucks recently sat down with AS I LAY DYING guitarist Nick Hipa before the band's performance at New England Metal and Hardcore Festival last month in Worcester, MA.
Hipa spoke about the band's past appearances at Metalfest, touring with LAMB OF GOD, partying with CHILDREN OF BODOM, the advantages of having a nice tour bus, the band's recently released DVD, and the band's plans for a new album in "early 2010."
An excerpt follows:
Q: Any idea where musically the new album is going to be? Any concept of that yet?
A: "I really can't say. I can't even guess. We don't know the direction we're going in until it's all done. It's the same guys that wrote the previous records, so I think some of the elements like the energy and intense feel of the band will still be there. We're all a little bit older now, and our tastes maybe changed. I think we're all way better at our instruments and at songwriting. I'm actually really excited to see what we come up with because I think it's about that time."
Q: Cool. Maybe before the end of the year we'll have a new album, or early 2010?
A: "Probably early 2010. After this tour it's going to be a lot of chilling and writing because we've been going pretty consistently off of this album. So we'll take a little bit of a break before we record it."
