As I Lay Dying- The Sound of Truth (NEW VIDEO EXCLUSIVE!!)

Director: Brian Thompson
Release Year: 2008

"The idea came from our guitar player Nick [Hipa], who was inspired by books like [George Orwell's] 1984 and movies like [Kurt Wimmer's] 'Equilibrium,' in which the future is very simplistic, cold, and stale. The characters are like mindless lemmings who follow one leader and there is no sense of individuality. In the 'Nothing Left' video, the main character decides to be herself and be free regardless of the consequences. Subsequently, she is publicly condemned.

"This is where 'The Sound of Truth' picks up. The courage of the main character inspires an uprising of people who also will be condemned unless they fight for their individuality. There are cool twists depicting the hypocrisy within the story.

"Both videos were shot in Los Angeles at Sound City Center Stage, which, interestingly enough, is the same place Metallica was recording their new album. Unfortunately, they wouldn't allow us to lurk on the recording process."

"The Sound of Truth" will debut in full on the Headbangers Ball Blog on January 17. And, watch it on the big screen on January 19 on Headbangers Ball on MTV2. For reference purposes, check out "Nothing Left":

Toss that bag of popcorn in the microwave and crack a cold beer (or a Coke if you're straight edge or underage). It's time to dim the lights and watch the exclusive premiere of As I Lay Dying's video for "The Sound of Truth."

The sci-fi clip, which was directed by Brian Thompson, is the sequel to the band's "Nothing Left" video, which Thompson also lensed. Read what AILD frontman, Tim Lambesis, has to say about the new video here then watch it again and again.

"The Sound of Truth" will debut on air Saturday night on Headbangers Ball on MTV2. (more)

I agree. Don't reinforce the dumbfuck metalhead stereotype.

[drumgroovy]

They play metal. Period. A sacrament can be all that you mentioned, but there are at least 3 more definitions to it, which are TOTALLY different.

If you watched their DVD, the album title means NOTHING at all. They just wanted a cool name. At first they chose Absolution, but Muse already had a recent album by that name so they chose Sacrament. Primarily, it sounded cool. Meaning was secondary.
