BUY THE LIMITED EDITION T-SHIRT AT merch.asilaydying.com/products/as-i-lay-dying-destruction-or-strength-tee.

All proceeds from this song and shirt will be aggregated and donated to the following:

AILD Road Crew
Travel restrictions and responsible social-distancing measures have crippled the entire live event industry. While touring is a substantial part of a bands’ income, it is the entire source of financial sustenance for the hard working and talented crew it depends upon. A portion of everything raised will be distributed to our techs and production staff to help alleviate the financial strain of lost income and work opportunity. We love these people as family and want to help them through this the best we can.

Feeding San Diego
With the closures of all schools in our state, Feeding San Diego is being extremely pro-active in distributing food to support students who previously relied on free and reduced priced school meals as their primary source of nutrition. Feeding San Diego is also continuing their efforts in providing hunger relief to senior citizens, low-income families, and all of the workers in our local hospitality, service, and tourist industries who are facing financial hardships from unemployment. The remainder of everything raised will be sent as a monetary contribution to this organization, to assist them in serving the hunger needs of our community.

We recognize this is an uneasy climate for everyone right now so there is no pressure to contribute. At the very least, we hope sharing unreleased music will have a positive impact for those of you excited to hear it.

Please be safe and kind to one another. We will get through this together".

Instead of giving money to their own road crew, how about giving more money to the woman he tried to murder and his children that he abandoned?

He can't decide by the whole band. 

If Tim make this with his own money, no problem at all, but it's a question about all the 5 guys in the band and they probally decide to do something to help  the guys that work with them and for the city too...

They've always been all about helping themselves under the guise of "caring" and this is no different.

I don't believe that new announcements for this band belong in the Christian Metal section since they have made it clear that they are not a Christian band.  

I know they still have loyal fans from when they (by their own admission) pretended to be of the faith but IMO this belongs in the Non-Christian section.

^I haven't been following them beyond passively skimming what's been posted on here, but didn't they/Tim issue some sort of apology/repentance when they reformed? Have they claimed to be Christians since they reformed at all? If not, I'll move this into the secular section.

I cannot answer the question of where his head and heart are now.  I tried to look up some articles but none really answer this question in any depth.

All I know is, there have been many interviews where Tim admitted that he and most of the other band members were actually atheists and faked the Christian thing for money.  Most of the articles / interviews are ridiculously long, but here is a relatively short one from a few years back:

https://tonedeaf.thebrag.com/christian-metal-band-admits-they-faked-it-to-sell-records/

To me, that indicates not a Christian band, nor even a band of actual Christians.
I might call them a secular band that had Christian-themed songs, like Hades or Binary Creed.

Otherwise I have no objection whatsoever to someone who has erred greatly and has learned from some hard lessons.  Been there, done that more times than I care to remember.  I am just not sure in this case that his experience has translated into becoming a band that is in any way faith-based.  Maybe someone else has some detailed info on this.
