August Burns Red announce new EP ‘Guardians Sessions’
AUGUST BURNS RED have announced a brand new EP!
Titled Guardians Sessions, the upcoming EP from the American metalcore band will feature B-sides, covers, and reimagined tracks, including their recently released single Standing In The Storm. The EP is scheduled for release in April this year via Fearless Records.
To coincide with the news of the upcoming EP, the band have released a brand new song from the upcoming EP; Icarus.
About the EP, guitarist JB Brubaker explains how this EP came to be. “The Guardians Sessions EP was put together on the foundation of two songs: Standing in the Storm and Icarus,” he explains. “Those songs were recorded in September of 2019 when we were finishing up our album Guardians. Both tracks got cut from the record, as we had too much material and they were the black sheep of the group. When all touring was shut down in March of 2020, we began working on a couple of cover songs and re-imagined versions of some songs from Guardians. Those songs were recorded in the summer of 2020. We wanted to be productive with our downtime and work on a project that would be fun for both us and our fans.”
