August Burns Red announce new album ‘Death Below’

AUGUST BURNS RED have announced a new album!

Titled Death Below, the upcoming album from the American metalcore band is the follow-up to 2020’s Guardians, and is scheduled to be released in March next year, via SharpTone Records.

“It’s no secret that the past few years have been extremely dark and challenging,” guitarist JB Brubaker says about the upcoming album. Death Below is here as a result of that time in each our lives and the emotions that came with it. We were motivated by uncertainty, fear, outrage, and triumph. I feel this is the darkest, most personal album we’ve ever written, and I couldn’t be more proud of what the five of us made together.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming new album; Ancestry. The new song features a guest appearance from KILLSWITCH ENGAGE vocalist Jesse Leach.

Ancestry is a complex and technical AUGUST BURNS RED track held together by perhaps the most painful and personal lyrics Jake has ever written,” says Brubaker. “I loved this song in every phase since its inception. From the instrumental rendition, to the lyrics and vocals being added, to finally bringing it all together with Jesse‘s anthemic guest vocals, Ancestry is a song we’ve been looking forward to sharing with the world for a long time.”
