As I Lay Dying: Cult of Luna-Sänger schießt gegen Tim Lambesis und die Band

Das sind deutliche Worte.

VON AM 02/10/2019

Die Handlungen des As I Lay Dying-Sängers Tim Lambesis brachten ihm dato einen gegen Ende frühzeitig beendeten Gefängnisaufenthalt und auch heute noch andauernde Kritik ein, die wohl niemals verstummen wird.

Der jüngste Kritiker des AILD-Comebacks ist kein Unbekannter, handelt es sich hierbei doch um Cult of Luna-Frontmann Johannes Persson.

Dieser hatte in einem neuen Interview mit TheQuietus.com nicht die wärmsten Worte für den 38-jährigen parat. Obwohl er weder Band noch Lambesis direkt beim Namen nennt, sind seine Ausführungen mehr als eindeutig.

Er könne beim besten Willen nicht verstehen, wie die Fans nach nur ein paar Jahren alles vergeben und vergessen hätten.

Persson stehe zwar für zweite Chancen ein, könne Lambesis und der Band ihre Einsichtigkeit aber nicht abkaufen.

Am Ende des Tages sei das Comeback für ihn vor allem auch eine finanzielle Frage, zumal sich alle übrigen Bandmitglieder dato von Lambesis losgesagt und ihn für seine Aktionen verurteilt haben.

Den kompletten Auszug könnt ihr euch jetzt hier in Gänze zu Gemüte führen.

Die Gedanken von Johannes Persson (Cult of Luna) in Bezug auf As I Lay Dying und Tim Lambesis

„The background that I’m from – the musical background – was very much integrated with a lot of ethics and it was a very political scene too, which when you come from that kind of scene you think that everybody else thinks the same way in a sense.

So, for example, when a person that just tried to [have his wife killed] – something that happened just a couple of years ago – is out touring and people are happy to have a forgive and forget attitude about it? I cannot get my head around it. I cannot. How is that not a person you now don’t want anything to do with in your entire life?

How can [journalists] write about that band? There are a thousand other bands you can write about. How can you go to their show? How can they not be constantly questioned every single day about it? I don’t understand because with my background we call bullshit on people.

However, it might not sound like it, but I’m all for second chances, as long as that person has shown deep regret and I think that some time must-have passed before you can actually see if a person is sincere enough, and most of all you see it through their actions, not through their words.

For example, OK, let’s talk about this case right now – I’m not even going to say his name – but if you’re sincerely sorry, like I said: fine. Take all your proceedings, everything from every tour and donate it to a battered women’s shelter. Of course, you can take enough to make ends meet but just saying, ‘I’m sorry’, doesn’t cut it, especially when your band called you a sociopath before.

That’s how they work. They adapt to what fits them at this moment. I’m not buying it. You donate your money – at least that’s an action, that’s something that shows you’re going to do something that’s not for yourself. This is also about those coward fucking band members who threw shit on him one second and then when their other band didn’t work well [they welcomed him back] – money talks. That’s how it works.“

As I Lay Dying haben im Mai diesen Jahres zusammen mit der Organisation „HeartSupport“ von August Burns Red-Frontmann Jake Luhrs eine 15-minütige Doku zum Werdegang von Tim Lambesis veröffentlicht.

In the spirit of Mental Health Awareness month, a time committed to raising awareness and resources for people struggling with all forms of mental illness, we’ve partnered with @heartsupport to share a video detailing more of the personal side of our experiences through the years. We wanted to share this part of our story exclusively through an outlet that exists to provide emotional support for anyone dealing with inner turmoil. Whether it’s with addiction, suicidal thoughts, depression, or abuse, we believe in the community they’ve created to connect with those who are in need of recovery or healing. Through this video, our goal is to share our experiences so that others going through troubled times know there is help around even when feeling desperate and alone. Healing can be a long and indefinite journey. It is one we are continuously proactive in walking towards personally and together. Our past has shown us there are devastating consequences in leaving emotional and mental turmoil unaddressed. Our hope is to highlight the importance of actively seeking help, directing traffic towards a resource for doing so, and encouraging anyone who knows they need it to take the first step. With Love and Gratitude, -Jordan, Nick, Phil, Josh, Tim [Link in Bio]
