Tim Lambesis is a guy with an unpleasant life. After allegedly hiring someone to kill his estranged wife, paying massive bail, blaming it on the roids, being in and out of court for awhile, and facing the very real possibility of going to jail - there's a cherry on top. The legends at Lambgoat have found that said estranged wife is suing him. The cost?
Two million dollars. She's seeking the money for health and legal expenses in a case opposing the trial for Tim's solicitation charges. Both will likely take place in Spring of next year. We'll keep you up to date.
In the mean time, here's some Death Metal and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Varied opinions have been spewing since the headlines first emerged in May that
Tim Lambesis (As I Lay Dying, Austrian Death Machine, Pyrithion)
allegedly attempted to have his estranged wife murdered. If you've managed to miss the fallout since, you can catch up here.
After returning to court this week there have been a few new developments. Once again, he has pled not guilty, sticking to the previous defense that his "thought processes were devastatingly affected by his steroid use". And yet again, it has worked in his favor.
According to the champs at Lambgoat (who had an anonymous source in attendance), a January 15th date has been set for the ongoing trial. If it isn't settled by that point, Lambesis may return to court in March. Stay tuned for more.
If you're ignorant to the dealings of the Tim Lambesis case, read up here, here, and here to catch up.
There haven't been any real developments since May, until now. The original arraignment date of October 22nd was pushed back due to scheduling conflicts with Lambesis' attorney and will now take place November 13th... this week. It's possible the case will be resolved beforehand if a plea bargain is reached. Stay tuned for more info, which is sure to come streaming in later this week.
Looks like Tim Lambesis has managed to cough up the $2 million dollars and post bail. He is no longer being held at the Vista Detention Facility. This has been confirmed by multiple sources including Alternative Press and Metal Injection.
For those who honestly haven't heard, Tim was taken into custody after allegedly hiring a hitman to have his estranged wife murdered. You can catch up on the situation by reading here and here. Stay tuned for further details on the case.
A new video report has surfaced in the Tim Lambesis case, detailing his revised defense strategy (roids) through new attorney Tom Warwick (pictured below) along with his lowered bail. I personally take all US media news stories with a grain of salt (or the whole shaker in some cases) but the details presented from the case here are fairly straight forward.
As we post this, the legal process is taking its course and we have
no more information than you do. There are many unanswered questions,
and the situation will become clearer in the coming days and weeks.
We’ll keep you informed as best we can.
Our thoughts right now are with Tim, his family, and
with everyone else affected by this terrible situation – and with our
fans, whom we love and draw strength from.
Thank you for understanding, and as always, for your support of As I Lay Dying.

Varied opinions have been spewing since the headlines first emerged that Tim Lambesis (As I Lay Dying, Austrian Death Machine, Pyrithion) allegedly attempted to have his estranged wife murdered. The facts are Tim was arrested Tuesday afternoon in an Oceanside, CA store and booked into jail the same night. He will have his arraignment today. According to reports, he initially attempted to solicit an undercover detective to do the deed on May 2nd (while touring in Asia).
This whole situation seems out of character for Tim Lambesis. He's a fairly outspoken christian with adopted Ethiopian children and a clothing label set up exclusively to help kids. His wife filed for divorce earlier this year, but would that really trigger a man like Tim to such actions? I'm not the judge here. But if it's true, it would be incredibly stupid / callous of him.
This will no doubt ruin his career if he is found to be guilty, taking down multiple metal acts and organizations in the process. Not to mention Tim is apparently worth $14 million dollars (according to Celebrity Net Worth).
If he's somehow found to be innocent, this will all serve as very nice press for himself and his music. It will also make me feel better about my recent purchase of the Pyrithion EP. Only time will tell... stay tuned.
If you're honestly feeling up to it after reading all of that, you can check some music from his various projects down below.
