August Burns Red release new cover of Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’

AUGUST BURNS RED have released a new cover song!

The new cover, for MARIAH CAREY‘s Christmas hit All I Want For Christmas Is You, is the band’s brand new cover of a festive song, as per their yearly tradition.

“This year, we decided to take a crack at the legendary MARIAH CAREY song All I Want For Christmas Is You,” says guitarist JB Brubaker. “This turned out to be one of the most fun holidays songs we’ve ever done, and a real head spinner for me on the guitar leads. I’m proud of how it came out and think it will be a staple for people looking for a little more metal in their holiday playlists.”

Alongside the release of the new Christmas cover, the band have also announced details of their annual festive show; Christmas Burns Red! This year’s event is going online, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and will take place on Saturday, December 12th at 20:00EST/17:00PST. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here.

During the livestream event, the band will be playing songs from their 2020-released album Guardians live for the first time. It will also feature the biggest and most festive Christmas Burns Red stage setup ever and there will be a brand new line of merch, a VIP option, and limited edition items.

“Doing an annual holiday show has been a long-standing tradition for AUGUST BURNS RED,” says Brubaker. “This will be our 15th consecutive year, and we didn’t want to let COVID-19 end the streak. While we are bummed we can’t play for everyone in person, we are doing everything we can to make sure that this year’s Christmas Burns Red is bigger and better than ever. This will be our first time playing a bunch of new songs off of Guardians, and we are putting the finishing touches on our biggest stage production to date. We can’t wait to play for you again!”
