“The Void Within”‘s arrival comes a little over a week after AS I LAY DYING frontman Tim Lambesis addressed the recent departures of guitarist Ken Susi, drummer Nick Pierce, bassist Ryan Neff and longtime guitarist Phil Sgrosso. In a statement posted to social media, Lambesis said he supports “each of the guys’ decisions to leave,” adding that he agrees that “at this time it is best for everyone.”

Lambesis, who is currently the sole remaining member of AS I LAY DYING, added: “I needed some time to process all that has happened recently with AILD. As I reflect, I certainly agree that there was an unhealthy environment that made leaving for a new tour with the previous lineup unrealistic. It had become difficult to figure out even the smallest details, and I admit I can stick strong to my vision for the future of AILD even when others think it should go another direction.”

He continued: “It saddens me to think about the behaviors, communication, and patterns of interaction that led up to the tour cancellation. Phil and I no longer saw eye to personally, creatively, or financially. Discussions during this time prompted his decision to depart first, with each of the touring members deciding to leave shortly after, as they were not interested in going on without him. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the order in which everything was made public, as some statements were rushed out during a chaotic time in response to rumors.”

Lambesis also addressed AS I LAY DYING‘s future, saying that he looks “forward to building a new team, and creating an atmosphere that is supportive, positive, and fosters a creative environment.”
