[Where did my As I Lay Dying review go? It has disappeared somehow but I'll have it back up soon (if I backed it up).

Dave Arthur, of the Southern California band, DISMISSED, did the singing vocals on three of the As I Lay Dying “Shadows are Security” tracks including “Confined” and “Darkest Nights” and did some of the screaming as well. You can find out more about Dismissed by clicking here.

In related news, Dismissed are recording on July 4th-13th. They are doing 5-6 songs and will release it as an ep. More on this and their name change shortly…

Two new albums came out yesterday:
Terminal “How the Lonely Keep”
Haste the Day “When Everything Falls”
both are out on Tooth and Nail Records

Make sure to pick up War of Ages “Self Titled” to be released on July 5th through Strike First Records because it’s going to rule you! I’ve heard some cuts from the album and I’m impressed with these guys. Look for a feature around the release date.
