Three members of metalcore band As I Lay Dying—bassist Ryan Neff, guitarist Ken Susi, and drummer Nick Pierce—have departed from the band, leaving only frontman Tim Lambesis, who was previously convicted of soliciting murder. Neff announced his exit first, citing personal reflection and a need for change, followed by Susi, who expressed that his morals had been tested and lamented the potential of the band. Pierce also stated that he needed to distance himself for personal health and integrity. The departures follow a tumultuous history for the band, which had reformed after Lambesis's prison release in 2016. With the upcoming album 'Through Storms Ahead' set to release on November 15, tour dates have been canceled, and the band now consists of only two members. The recent exodus highlights ongoing challenges within the group, as they face backlash and uncertainty moving forward.
