Bassist Josh Gilbert has announced his departure from the band

As I Lay Dying have lost another member in longtime bassist Josh Gilbert who last night (May 16) announced his departure from the band.

His decision comes after guitarist Nick Hipa left the Californian metalcore outfit in 2020, citing that he wanted to prioritise “a motion design career, deep focus on my family, taking care of my health, and working on other creative projects”.

Taking to Instagram to issue a statement, Gilbert wrote: “Hello, friends. After 15 years (almost half my life), I’ve decided to part ways with As I Lay Dying.

“Despite the ups and downs inherent, I’ll always be grateful for the profound privilege of being to able to grow up travelling the world playing music with the band. None of that would be possible without the fans of the band, so for that I sincerely thank you all so much for allowing me the opportunity.”

He concluded: “I wish the best for AILD moving forward, and I hope to see all of you sooner rather than later.”
