August Burns Red are moving into the next album cycle with purpose. The Lancaster, Pennsylvania band has announced Season of Surrender, set for 06/05 through Fearless Records, and kicked off the rollout by streaming the first single, “The Nameless.” The album also features guests from Mike Hranica of The Devil Wears Prada, Jamie Hails of Polaris, and Make Them Suffer.
“‘The Nameless’ is a hard-hitting, heavy bruiser that doesn’t let up for one moment,” states bassist Dustin Davidson. “It combines classic ABR elements with dark, moody technical rhythms, and fast-paced vocals to keep the intensity up for the full three minutes of the track. To me, it showcases our roots of where we’ve come from, and the future path of where we’re heading.”
“Lyrically, ‘The Nameless’ is a song about not wasting your life away for the sake of acceptance and comfort. Sometimes it takes detaching from what you’ve been told, or from the beliefs you are no longer aligned with, in order to face your own weaknesses. In doing so, you can break free to live a life you are proud of,” adds vocalist Jake Luhrs.
The release will be backed by the “Spring Horizons” co-headliner with The Amity Affliction. Most dates also include Boundaries and Heavensgate, while the first two shows feature Dreamwake in place of Heavensgate. Find the complete itinerary below.
