"Forever" - As I Lay Dying

Band: As I Lay Dying
Album: Frail Words Collapse
Released: July 1, 2003
Home Town:  San Diego, CA
Why is it on here?:  Felt like going heavy today.  As I Lay Dying is a Christian metalcore band (yes there is such a thing).  I love the intensity of the music and the performance.  When asked about being a Christian band the lead singer had this to say "I'm not sure what the difference is between five Christians playing in a band and a Christian band. If you truly believe something, then it should affect every area of your life. All five of us are Christians. Many of our songs are about life, struggles, mistakes, relationships and other issues that don't fit entirely in the spiritual category. However, all of these topics are written about through my perspective as a Christian."   So despite what most people think, just because a guy is yelling and screaming doesn't necessarily mean he is talking about sacrificing goats, killing people or worshiping the devil.
