The Dead Lay Waiting was an English metalcore band from Swindon in Wiltshire, formed in 2008.
The band's music was a diverse mix of extreme metal genres, such as hardcore metal, melodic metalcore and even elements of heavy metal. To achieve a chaotic and cacophonic sound, the band uses complex time signatures, polyrhythmic composition, blast beats, sampling, keyboard effects and intricate layered production.
In 2013 the band announced via its Facebook page that, due to conflicting ideas with regards to the band's future direction, it would be disbanding the group. Vocalist Luke Lucas would be later form the orchestral, melodic metal band Solace In Nightmares with Matt Seaborne. The other 4 members of TDLW formed a new group called Sleep Inertia.
