The song appears on the recently released EP, Decas, which marks the band's 10 year anniversary. The clip was shot with director Paul Brown (My Chemical Romance, Staind, Stone Sour) at El Mirage Lake, a dry lake bed in the Mojave Desert of San Bernardino County, California. "After a long day of sunburns and drought out in the desert I'm glad to be done fighting scorpions for the filming of Electric Eye. We came out victorious, but we probably couldn't have done it without the classic metal inspiration of Halford and Priest's legendary guitar melodies," explains front man Tim Lambesis.

Meant to tide fans over until the release of the band's hotly anticipated new studio LP (due for release next year), the Decas EP marks AS I LAY DYING's decade of making music and features 3 new songs, 3 cover songs, remixes, and more. As vocalist Tim Lambesis explains, "We wanted to at least do an EP when the idea first came up. We were touring at the time and knew we wouldn't have time to put together an entire album of new material. Decas literally means ten, and to me it is a collection of songs to celebrate our ten-year anniversary as a band. We were able to round up three new songs that we felt represented the different sides to our band. There's a song you'd generally expect from us, one on the heavier side, and then one of the most melodic songs we've ever done. We took a similar approach on the cover songs. We wanted one song that represented a thrashier, heavier influence. Interestingly enough we were asked to do a Slayer cover song with an anti-war theme for a video game months earlier, so that worked out perfectly. Next, we represented the melodic guitar influence with Judas Priest who is responsible for starting much of that within metal. Lastly, I came up with the idea to do a simple, raw, energetic song that was outside of our genre but still influential in some of our musical upbringing."

BTS video gives fans a look at the new technology used to film Anodyne Sea! *Photos courtesy of Josh Knoff On December 17, 2010, Grammy®-nominated metal group AS I LAY DYING shot a new music video for the track Anodyne Sea off the band's latest album The Powerless Rise. Directed by McFarland and Pecci of Killswitch Productions and shot in the band's hometown of San Diego, California, Anodyne Sea was shot from the POV perspective of drummer Jordan Mancino. The video tackles the issue of free speech and the worst case scenario of what could happen when you stand up for what you believe in regardless of the consequences. Technology played a crucial role in McFarland & Pecci achieving their vision. The video is shot using a custom designed helmet-cam rig with a Nikon D7000 HD-SLR camera and Teradek Cube for wireless video monitoring, both being cutting-edge video products. Fans now have a chance to see how this new technology was used during the video shoot for Anodyne Sea in this "Behind the Scenes" video edited by Chris O'Coin and shot by Rod Clark.

AS I LAY DYING frontman Tim Lambesis comments on the video and working with the directing duo; "Ian and Mike have a passion for their art and they brought us an incredible treatment. Conceptually, I enjoyed making a video that is outside the box and with a style that is incredibly unique. I'm proud of the outcome and can't wait for our fans to see it!" Technology played a crucial role in McFarland & Pecci achieving their vision. The video is shot using a custom designed helmet-cam rig with a Nikon D7000 HD-SLR camera and Teradek Cube for wireless video monitoring, both being cutting-edge video products. AS I LAY DYING's Anodyne Sea marks the first ever music video to use this revolutionary technology, which is sure to start popping up in future music videos from artists spanning all musical genres. Music video directors Ian McFarland & Mike Pecci have built a reputation for using the cinematic arts and sciences to translate the darkest moments of humanity into a visual experience. Their style is gritty, raw, sometimes controversial, and always compelling. "We collaborated closely with the band on this video to create a raw, intense look at the potential consequences for standing up for what you believe in. It is astounding to think about how many people are blind to the fact that violence is used every day to control public and personal opinion. AS I LAY DYING is to be commended for having the balls to create a video where they step outside their comfort zone and make such a relevant clip for our times" commented the directors.

The 4000 maximum capacity crowd howled in excitement as the 5 members of As I Lay Dying broke into the set opener '94 Hours.' The bone shattering bass drum was felt by all across the floor and up into the Palladium's balconies. It was similar to an earthquake set to musical rhythm and growled along to…Fans had waited all day for this and they were not let down by any means as As I Lay Dying tore through the Palladium relentlessly late into the night."

To tune in visit: http://www.lovelineshow.com/site and check stations/times in your area. The Billboard chart debut comes on the heels of AS I LAY DYING's acclaimed An Ocean Between Us. "Jordan and I started this band knowing we might be held back by the intensity of our music," says lead singer TIM LAMBESIS. "Nine years later we've released our second record to make it into the Top 10! It's an amazing testament to our diehard fan base, underground music and the heavy music listeners that truly know what they want despite what's perceived to be more popular." Early critical acclaim is appearing for THE POWERLESS RISE (which the group co-produced with Adam Dutkiewicz of Killswitch Engage and mixer Colin Richardson who they'd previously worked with on An Ocean Between Us). Check out a sampling here: "what makes The Powerless Rise such a stunning metal record is the band's commitment to vigorously kicking at their boundaries while remaining true to their sound. 'Parallels,' 'The Only Constant Is Change' and the magnificent 'Vacancy' match their ferocity with an epic grandeur that prove you really don't need an all-out pop chorus to create something that soars. The album flows together beautifully, and by the time sweeping closer 'The Blinding Of False Light' dies away into echoes, you're left with the feeling of experiencing something truly special." --Dan Slessor, ALTERNATIVE PRESS, 4.5 out of 5 rating, June 2010 "As I Lay Dying have created an album that is inarguably a melodic metalcore behemoth. The group's heavy-with-hooks formula is brazenly conformed to but nevertheless provides massively appreciable moments--especially in the harmonious interplay between vocals and lead work on 'Anger and Apathy.'" --Richard Cartey, ROCK SOUND (monthly, UK) May 2010 "It's not that that they've changed their formula so much as honed it to something so sharp it bleeds excellence. While everything here charges maniacally and furiously from the opening track--and first single--'Beyond Our Suffering,' right on through to the set-closer 'The Blinding of False Light,' there are some slower intros on tracks such as 'Parallels' and 'Upside Down Kingdom' that work to stellar dramatic effect when the tunes give way to furious thrashing. The twin-guitar attack of Nick Hipa and Phil Sgrosso is sharper and heavier than ever here--check the back and forth work on "The Only Constant Is Change' and 'Anodyne Sea.' At 44 minutes, The Powerless Rise feels more like 10. As a band, AILD has grown most is in their songwriting and production skills (the latter of which are now off the charts in terms of precision). The Powerless Rise, delivers on what their previous outings have handsomely promised." --Thom Jurek, ALL MUSIC, May 18, 2010 "…a smooth combination of traditional metal and thrash. 'Anodyne Sea' adds a melodic depth new to this group's arsenal that blends well…Lambesis has added depth to his screams, Gilbert shines with clean vocal leads, Sgrosso and Hipa continue their guitar-duo dynamic and Mancino never misses a best." --Andy Mesecher, MUSIC CONNECTION, (CD review, 8 out-of-10 rating May 2010) "This fifth studio LP from the San Diego metalcore quintet comes after an unusually long break for the band (some three years), and in the wake of their previous album garnering a Grammy nomination. The guys came off of a long touring run to record this disc, but they took their time with it, and the results here have been getting major attention--deservedly so. The set's heavy and tight, almost surgically so at points. Another Grammy nod seems probable." --AOL MUSIC (CD review) May 21, 2010 "Enter The Powerless Rise, As I Lay Dying's fifth studio album and finest one at that. What separates the San Diego quintet from the rest of the pack is the group's attention to detail in their songwriting. From the initial onslaught of 'Beyond Our Suffering' to the punishing payoff in closer 'The Blinding of False Light,' The Powerless Rise is a whirlwind ride through 44 minutes of pristine instrumentation and production. Instead of bombarding your ears with breakdowns galore, the band carefully chooses their spots on the record to unleash their auditory assault. Not only is The Powerless Rise As I Lay Dying's heaviest album to date, it also features a splendor not heard on past releases. Slow leads build up into dynamic payoffs, such as 'Anger and Apathy,' 'Upside Down Kingdom,' and the magnificent 'Parallels.' There is nothing 'Powerless' about this behemoth of an album." --Drew Beringer, ABSOLUTE PUNK (May 21,2010) After AS I LAY DYING--NICK HIPA (guitar), TIM LAMBESIS (vocals), JORDAN MANCINO (drums), PHIL SGROSSO (guitar) and JOSH GILBERT (bass) will head overseas for shows in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, France, Holland, Russia, Italy, Belgium, Sweden and the U.K. On July 12, AS I LAY DYING will launch the "Cool Tour" with Underoath, Between The Buried And Me, Blessthefall, The Acacia Strain, Architects, Cancer Bats, and War of Ages.

"Hey everyone, We've been pretty busy the past few months. We're about several last minute pickscrapes/thunderchugs away from finishing ALL tracking for The Powerless Rise. We've had Colin Richardson and his assistant Martyn "Ginge" Ford out in San Diego working on mixes every day for about a month so far. It took a bit of time for us to get the guitar tone in the right place, but we've finally settled on something we all love and compliments the drums and bass quite nicely. Josh and Tim's vocals are sounding great as well. Colin and Ginge are doing a killer job! Besides stopping by the studio a couple days a week, we've all been preparing to start up the next tour cycle. We've got an Australian/New Zealand run in late March, the Revolver awards April 8th in LA, followed by a US headliner that'll be going on right around the time our new record comes out. It's been nice being home most of the past year but it's time to get back out there with some new songs and an entirely new stage setup to intensify the live show. I've been missing that adrenaline rush from playing to our fans and I assure you the new songs will bring our live energy to a new level. Keep an eye out, we'll be coming to you soon." -Phil Sgrosso http://www.youtube.com/asilaydying http://www.facebook.com/asilaydying http://www.myspace.com/asilaydying http://www.asilaydying.com As I Lay Dying announce the title of their upcoming album!

About As I Lay Dying The members of San Diego, Calif.’s metal act As I Lay Dying are the kind of musicians who refuse to be measured solely by their most recent accomplishments. As I Lay Dying are not afraid to push the limits of their sound and always keep things moving. Their music grabs listeners by the throat and doesn’t let go. Building upon the foundation that As I Lay Dying has laid over the past several years, growing from a small San Diego outfit slowly and deliberately into a priority national act, the band has become Metal Blade Records’ biggest seller with an extremely devoted following. As I Lay Dying has the goods to take it all the way and stake their claim as the metal band “you need to know about” in 2010 and beyond. The band’s last release, An Ocean Between Us, landed the #8 position on the Billboard Top 200 charts its first week out, making it the highest rock debut on the chart that week. An Ocean Between Us stayed in the Top 40 Charts its second week out in the United States and Canada, charting at #39 in both countries. The band’s first-ever DVD, This is Who We Are, entered the Billboard Top Music Videos Chart at the #2 position in the US and the #3 position in Canada. The DVD is also certified platinum in the United States and Canada by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

As I Lay Dying issues update from the studio! As I Lay Dying is currently holed up with Adam D. and Daniel Castleman at Lambesis Studios in San Diego, CA. They’re hard at work recording and writing their follow up to 2007’s An Ocean Between Us. The band will be recording and writing throughout the rest of 2009 and vocalist Tim Lambesis has issued the following update via the band’s myspace page: “We've released little bits of information here or there in previous news posts and blogs, but there are still questions coming in concerning what we've been up to. Below is an unquestionably obvious outline concerning our future plans… 1) We started working on new album. 2) We started recording the new album a few weeks ago with Adam D & Daniel Castleman at the reigns (and JMR for a couple weeks). 3) There are only drums for 8 songs tracked so far. One of them we're undecided about, but maybe it'll feel different when the vocals are done. Either way, we need write more than 8 songs (since they aren't as long as the 8 songs on Master of Puppets). Therefore we're working on writing MORE new songs as soon as we finish recording what's been started. 4) The only break in working on the new album will be our short trip to Mexico and Sri Lanka to play two of the best shows of our career. 5) All of us can't stress enough how grateful we are to be writing music that we love while still receiving a paycheck. This can only be credited to OUR LOYAL FANS! Sometimes bands need to rush out a crappy record so they can start touring again to pay their bills. In our case, we plan to make a record worth listening to (hopefully), and start touring again when we're done. Thanks for your patience and understanding. We care and we're working. In fact, I haven't had a full nights rest since March when the coolest kid ever made me a DAD!” As Tim mentioned, the band will be playing in Mexico City, Mexico and one very special show all the way over in Sri Lanka.
