As I Lay Dying writing new album

As I Lay Dying have revealed that they are currently in writing mode. The band released their first ever DVD, titled "This Is Who We Are", not long ago which sold 4,200 copies in its first week in the U.S and has already gone platinum in Canada.

The band posted the following update:

"A lot of people have been wondering what we're up to since we normally tour constantly and we haven't been playing many shows lately. Well, we've been home hard at work writing new songs for an album that will be out in early 2010. We'll start to record before the end of the year though."

Frontman Tim Lambesis spoke about the new DVD, saying "It's hard to believe that we've been a band for as long as we have yet have never released an official DVD documenting our first seven years. As a result, we've included so much content that you hardly have to like our music to be entertained. With that said, it feels good knowing how many diehard fans over the years have supported our band and their simple enjoyment of our music has given us the chance to see the world!"

As I Lay Dying last released 'An Ocean Between Us' in 2007.
