Also appearing on this summer's Vans Warped Tour is Jacksonville, Florida's EVERGREEN TERRACE.

Here's what people have been saying about AS I LAY DYING's and EVERGREEN TERRACE's latest releases:
- Evergreen Terrace -

'Wolfbiker the album is indeed badass metalcore, and as a band, Evergreen Terrace takes a step forward.' - Outburn
'Wolfbiker, the first release from the quintet's new home, Metal Blade, is the epitome of everything the band stands for: being yourself, doing what you want, and, of course, finding happiness.' ' Alternative Press
- As I Lay Dying -
''one of the best pure-metal bands America has to offer' Alternative Press

'By far the most aggressive, in your face statement they've ever made.' Kerrang!
'Onstage, As I Lay Dying's music is all about impact: double bass drums pummeling at tachycardia-like rhythms' each tempo change, and there were plenty, had the visceral effect of a sudden gear shift.' The New York Times
''to these battered ears (this album) is a revelation' Decibel Magazine
''there is something here for every fan of tight, fast, smart metal.' Abort Magazine
