Aaron Bridgewater, vocalist for the Detroit technical death metal act, As They Sleep, has uploaded a new audio blog to the As They Sleep TheLiveLine.com page at: http://www.theliveline.com/astheysleep, to recap the band’s most exciting year yet. 2010 saw the release of As They Sleep’s Solid State Records debut, Dynasty, a pummeling, intricate melodic death metal record, which received much critical acclaim. The band then hit the road on a West Coast run in support of Dynasty, as part of the “Solid State Records: A Very Metal Christmas Tour”, alongside label-mates, Living Sacrifice, Becoming the Archetype, and To Speak of Wolves. As They Sleep is currently running a CD/t-shirt giveaway on TheLiveLine.com to celebrate the release of Dynasty, which hit stores on November 22nd. The site has provided As They Sleep with its own call in number: (702) 967-9034, for fans to phone in and leave a voice message, explaining to the band why they deserve to win the prize pack. The most creative, sincere, and more importantly, METAL, message will be selected by the band as the winner. The contest will wrap up on December 31st.
