As I Lay Dying- An Ocean Between Us

Strong, Aesthetic, Angry, and Beautiful. The album leaves you speechless after you hear it. Brutal heavy heavy death metal growl-yells made by Tim Lambesis are a total change of pace to the way he used to scream. People think AILD got more melodic on this album... well they did. But they also got twice as heavy as they had ever previously been. I've always liked AILD, but they're one of those bands you can't listen to often or you'll get extremely sick of it. All the vocals by Lambesis and Sgrosso are amazing, the melodies and catches to each song beautify the album and not make seem like a straight-up brutal piece of crap. It proves christians can be heavy and be famous for it, and not afraid to show their christian roots. Overall Rating: 7.9/10
