In the same league with their labelmates The Black Dahlia Murder, As
I Lay Dying is another band to add to the growing list of Gothenburg
influenced death metal bands forming in the United States.
"Frails Words Collapse" contains elements of blast beat nu-metal ala
recent In Flames and hardcore passages as well which are interwoven
with melodic guitar lines.
Vocalist Tim does the ability to sing well using clean vocals but
choosing to stick mainly with screaming throughout the CD (although
"Forever" does display his vocal prowess). Tracks such as "A
Thousand Steps", "Falling Upon Deaf Ears" and "Distance Is Darkness"
however prove that As I Lay Dying are much more about extreme metal
than attempting any kind of power metal romp.
As subtle as a kick to the ribs, "Frail Words Collapse" is much more
likely to please the mallcore crowd that your meat and potatoes
heavy metal fan.
