Shaped by Fire is the seventh studio album by American metalcore band As I Lay Dying. It was released on September 20, 2019, through Nuclear Blast. The album was produced by the band themselves and is the follow-up to the group's sixth album, Awakened (2012). It is the first album in seven years after the band went on hiatus in 2014 when Tim Lambesis was incarcerated and sentenced to six years in prison for soliciting the murder of his estranged wife. It is also the last album to feature lead guitarist Nick Hipa, who left the band in 2020, and drummer Jordan Mancino and bassist/clean vocalist Josh Gilbert, both of whom left the band in 2022. Loudwire named it one of the 50 best metal albums of 2019.[1]
On October 25, 2024, Shaped by Fire got pulled off all streaming sources Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, and Tidal, among others. The band subsequently stated that it would only be temporary, as the rights to the album have reverted to them.[2] The album was restored in those sites a week after its removal.
