The immediate answer was ‘no,’ because Tim [Lambesis], in spite of the things that he was found guilty for, and some of the things he was wrestling with personally, was a great frontman and he was the face of As I Lay Dying, so for us to try and continue on with that didn’t feel right. Our natural response was to write music and start another band with a new name and just make it something completely separate from the past.
