"A Greater Foundation", the new video from San Diego, California metallers
AS I LAY DYING, can be seen below. The performance-based clip was filmed in Los Angeles with director
Drew Russ (
A DAY TO REMEMBER,
FALLING IN REVERSE) and producer
Robby Starbuck.
"We were all impressed with
Drew's ability to capture the intensity of live band performances in his videos, and
'A Greater Foundation' is no exception," explained
AS I LAY DYING bassist
Josh Gilbert. "
Drew's technique, along with the all-day participation of some of our diehard fans in Los Angeles, definitely accentuated the energy of the song and makes for an exciting and dynamic video."
"A Greater Foundation" is the first single from the band's sixth album,
"Awakened", which will be released on September 25 via
