As I Lay Dying just completed a video for the new single “A Greater Foundation.” The rock group teamed with director Drew Russ (A Day To Remember, Falling In Reverse) and producer Robby Starbuckfor the performance-based clip which was shot on location inLos Angeles.

"We were all impressed with Drew's ability to capture the intensity of live band performances in his videos, and ‘A Greater Foundation’ is no exception, explains bassist Josh Gilbert. “ Drew's technique, along with the all-day participation of some of our diehard fans in Los Angeles, definitely accentuated the energy of the song and makes for an exciting and dynamic video. We can't wait to unveil it!"
