AUGUST BURNS RED is likely the only metal act ever described as “thrillingly empathetic” (Kerrang!). It’s a testament to the ferocious band’s ability to recognize and connect with the mixture of brokenness and hope found in their audience and within themselves. A hard-working collective with a shockingly stable lineup for the vast majority of their career, AUGUST BURNS RED pour every ounce of themselves into their music. Atmospheric, riff-laden, aggressive bursts of controlled chaos, filled with shifting time signatures and tempos, deliver confessional, self-reflective, and authentic emotion.
Tour stops with LAMB OF GOD, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, PARKWAY DRIVE and BRING ME THE HORIZON; several major international hard rock festivals (Rock Am Ring, Download and Aftershock, to name a few); and the Vans Warped Tour are among the destinations around the world to witness AUGUST BURNS RED‘s live prowess. Massive headlining treks celebrating tenth anniversaries for “Constellations” and “Leveler” demonstrated the enduring relevance of the band’s catalog, nearly 20 years into AUGUST BURNS RED‘s storied career. 2020’s “Guardians” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hard Music, Rock Albums and Vinyl Albums charts.
Revolver, which put AUGUST BURNS RED on its cover the same year, observed the band’s “embrace the pain so well.” It’s a truth never more evident than on “Death Below”, AUGUST BURNS RED‘s stunning ninth studio album. Recorded with longtime producers Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland, “Death Below” encompasses all of the pissed-off strength of the band’s past without sacrificing an ounce of catchy, melodic might. “Death Below” boasts guest appearances from Jesse Leach (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE),Spencer Chamberlain (UNDEROATH),Jason Richardson (ALL THAT REMAINS) and JT Cavey (ERRA).
