In a career spanning over two decades, August Burns Red has consistently pushed the boundaries of modern metalcore. Today, the band marks another monumental milestone with the release of their 11th studio album, Season of Surrender, via Fearless Records.
This new record is described by vocalist Jake Luhrs as their most collaborative and emotionally vulnerable work to date. "It’s about recognizing there’s a choice to make," Luhrs shared. "You can either let trauma define you, or you can surrender it and heal. This album is the sound of that healing process."
A Legacy of Resilience
From the blistering speed of "S.O.S." to the hauntingly beautiful closer "Forged by Failure," Season of Surrender is a masterclass in technical precision and raw sincerity. The album features 11 tracks that showcase why ABR remains at the pinnacle of the genre, even after 20 years of ups and downs as a musical family.
Fans can expect the signature crushing breakdowns and intricate guitar work that have become the band's hallmark, but with an added layer of maturity and hope. As the band prepares to take these new anthems on the road, Season of Surrender stands as a testament to the power of resilience in the face of life's greatest challenges.
