I first heard them on either HeadBangers Ball or Sirius Liquid Metal and I really enjoyed the sound. Heavy with melody mixed in. I'm not one to analyze lyrics much. Sometimes I like to just bang my head to a badass sound, ya know.

"Although As I Lay Dying has stated on numerous occasions that all of the members of the group are practicing Christians, the band is usually described by media as being in the metalcore genre, not Christian metal. This is largely because the band's lyrics do not directly focus on pro-Christian themes the way many praise music bands do nor do they treat their music as a direct extension of their private Christian worship or proselytizing efforts. For example, not once do the names God or Jesus appear in any As I Lay Dying song, nor do any of their songs explicitly invoke Christian doctrine."
