Band:

August Burns Red

BiografieMessengers, the second record to drop from the minds and hands of Lancaster, PA fivesome August Burns Red is more than just a collection of 11 raging metal songs that ravage the ears of their listeners with technical skill and immense passion. The record is, in fact, not only a musical collaboration, but also a lyrical one, where every member of the band contributed to the lyrical content with their own thoughts, ideas and messages. Hence the record’s intriguing title.


August Burns Red, who initially formed in March of 2003, began this writing process almost immediately after finishing their shattering debut, Thrill Seeker, at the end of 2005, collecting ideas to follow up that disc with something even bigger. The five members of August Burns Red spent the entire year and half they were touring in support of Thrill Seeker penning the songs that landed on Messengers, eventually entering the studio in February 2007 in Nashville with Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Himsa, Dark Tranquility, Extol), with whom the fivesome co-produced the album. The group spent the month refining the tracks into the aggressive, pounding songs you hear on the finished album.


The complexity of August Burns Red’s songwriting is apparent throughout, a clear indication of a band with rabid ambition and a burgeoning talent for crafting tight, compelling songs. Longtime fans fear not, though; Messengers is still the product of the same intense band who continue to blow the minds of everyone lucky enough to witness their memorable live show.Quelle: http://www.myspace.com/augustburnsredDiscografie2009 Constellations

Ok, das Ding läuft. AUGUST BURNS RED haben in acht Jahren Bandgeschichte und drei Alben bislang 250.000 Kopien verkauft, also scheinbar alles richtig gemacht.

AUGUST BURNS RED haben ihr aktuelles Album noch immer nicht bei einem deutschen Vertrieb untergebracht, lassen für ihre Herbsttour aber noch mal die Promofirma ackern.
Rescue And Restore - Cover
Es hat ein wenig Zeit gebraucht, bis die neue AUGUST BURNS RED-Scheibe "Rescue And Restore" in Vinylform da war, aber das Warten hat sich gelohnt: das Teil macht nicht nur optisch was her, sondern übe
