Josh Gilbert is an American bassist, who performs primarily metalcore.[3] He has played with several acts, including As I Lay Dying[4] and Wovenwar. He is also a contributor to Alternative Press.[5]

Background

Gilbert's musical career began with his first band Woolytooth, which consisted of Lee Turner (guitars), James Burkhead (vocals) and Trey Sanders (drums). The band did not last long. He joined the band The Endearing, which sent a demo to Tim Lambesis, frontman of As I Lay Dying. The Endearing disbanded in 2006 and Gilbert went on to join As I Lay Dying.[6][7][8] Gilbert was As I Lay Dying's bassist for 2007, until 2014, when Lambesis was arrested. Before Lambesis' arrest, Gilbert performed in two of Lambesis' side-projects, Austrian Death Machine and Pyrithion. For the Pyrithion EP, Gilbert contributed Bass as a session musician as well as JP Andrade on drums, with the official members being, Lambesis, Ryan Glissen (formerly of Allegaeon), and Andrew Godwin (formerly of Embodyment and The Famine). With Austrian Death Machine, Gilbert performed vocals on the two albums, Total Brutal and Double Brutal, and performed Bass for the live band. After Lambesis' arrest, the remaining members of AILD, Guitarists Nick Hipa and Phil Sgrosso, and Drummer Jordan Mancino formed Wovenwar.[9] It was assumed that Gilbert was originally the vocalist, though it was later discovered that though he was, the primary vocalist was Shane Blay.[10] After AILD went on hiatus, the band was approached by Brian Slagel, Metal Blade Records owner.[11] The band has released two albums, Wovenwar (2014) and Honor Is Dead (2016). Gilbert also performs in a project with Lee Turner, former band-mate and former drummer of Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, All In and The Endearing members Clayton Graves, Joseph McQueen, as well as Marko Gorupic of Legion and My Reply, called Year One.
