Detroit, Michigan-based technical death Metal outfit AS THEY SLEEP has posted a video blog update as they gear up for the release of their Solid State Records debut, "Dynasty", next month.

The new video offers a glimpse into AS THEY SLEEP's practice space in suburban Detroit, and further explains the complex record's conceptual focus on the rise and fall of empires throughout history. Vocalist, Aaron Bridgewater, provides insight into the meaning behind the lyrics for the forthcoming track, "To The Republic", and guitarists, Barry Gomez and Nick Morris, show off some of the song's brutally heavy guitar riffs.

AS THEY SLEEP are streaming their new song, "Oracle Of The Dead", at their MySpace page.

"Oracle Of The Dead" is featured on the band's Solid State Records debut, "Dynasty", which is slated to hit stores on November 23rd.

"One of the darkest, fastest, grittiest songs on the new album, "Oracle Of The Dead" is relentless," explains vocalist, Aaron Bridgewater. "It is sure to satisfy your death Metal taste buds!"

"Dynasty" is a complex record, with a conceptual focus on the rise and fall of empires, and lyrics that touch on ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, and Greek mythology. It was mixed by powerhouse audio wizard, Jason Suecof (ALL THAT REMAINS, CHIMAIRA, DEMON HUNTER), and delivers a package of brutally heavy and savagely technical death Metal of the highest order.
