As I Lay Dying are marking two decades of one of metalcore’s most revered records with a full Shadows Are Security 20th Anniversary Tour running November 20 through December 2. The 2005 record turned the band into household names in the heavy music world — “Screaming for Vengeance,” “The Darkest Nights,” “A Long March” — and any night they choose to play it start to finish is a night worth blocking off. These are short, tight dates right at the end of the year, so if there’s a city on the run near you, you’d be foolish to pass.
Say what you will about the band’s complicated history — the music has always been the center of the story, and Shadows Are Security is one of the records that proved metalcore could be genuinely brutal and melodic at the same time without flinching at either. Two decades later, the songs hit just as hard.
Tour Dates: November 20 – December 2, 2026 — Various North American venues.
