Metalcore powerhouse As I Lay Dying has officially announced a massive return to American soil, confirming a late 2026 U.S. tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their landmark album, Shadows Are Security. Following a year of intense global touring that included divisive stops in Russia and Israel, frontman Tim Lambesis will lead a completely overhauled lineup through a final run of anniversary shows beginning November 20 in Roseville, California.

The upcoming trek marks a significant turning point for the band after the near-total collapse of their previous roster in late 2024, which left Lambesis as the sole remaining member amid renewed personal controversy. With local and artist presales launching this week, the band is framing these dates as the definitive end of the Shadows era before pivoting toward a new studio album and further U.S. touring in early 2027.

The “New Chapter” Lineup: Who is in As I Lay Dying Now?

The 2026 tour will be the first chance for many U.S. fans to see the latest incarnation of the band following the mass exodus of longtime members Phil Sgrosso, Ken Susi, Nick Pierce, and Ryan Neff in October 2024. Lambesis quickly rebuilt the group with seasoned veterans of the metal scene to maintain the band’s momentum.

The Current As I Lay Dying Lineup Features:

• Tim Lambesis – Vocals
• Chris Clancy (Mutiny Within) – Bass & Clean Vocals
• Bill Hudson (NorthTale) – Guitar
• Don Vedda – Guitar
• Tim Yeung (ex-Divine Heresy, Morbid Angel) – Drums

Lambesis noted that reconnecting with the “mindset that shaped Shadows Are Security” has been “nostalgic and deeply motivating,” directly influencing the writing process for the band’s next full-length record.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NOMADIC NARWHAL CHART DEEPER WATERS WITH NEW SINGLE “CALL OF THE CURRENT” OUT NOW
Cinematic Metal visionaries Nomadic Narwhal return with their most personal and stripped-down release to date, “Call of the Current,” out now via Seaborne Records. Blending Progressive Metal, Symphonic Metal, and Cinematic Rock textures, the new single marks a shift from oceanic mythology into raw emotional current.
Built for fans of Deftones, Max Cavalera, and Devin Townsend, Nomadic Narwhal continues to carve out its own lane in heavy music, a space where atmosphere, weight, and storytelling collide.
Following early breakout singles “Arrival” and “Monolith” in 2022, and the critically praised four-part release Fathoms, the project quickly gained attention from outlets like Loudwire and Decibel, earning recognition for shaping what many began calling Cinematic Metal. But “Call of the Current” pulls things inward.
Nomadic Narwhal founder Jesse Beisner explains the shift in tone plainly.
“I wrote how I wanted to feel. Sometimes you just need to write to get through some things.”
Unlike earlier releases built around vast oceanic themes and conceptual scale, “Call of the Current” leans into something more immediate and human. It is self-produced, emotionally direct, and intentionally unpolished in spirit. Even the name came from fans, and the artwork was hand painted, reinforcing the DIY ethos behind the project.
Beisner adds, “The one with the feelings.”
This is Nomadic Narwhal at its most exposed, trading mythic scale for something closer to the surface, where emotion hits harder and lingers longer.

About Nomadic Narwhal
