Grammy-nominated Lancaster five-piece August Burns Red have a big year in front of them. The band will drop their new album, Death Below, on March 24 via SharpTone Records. It’s now available for pre-order.
Today, they have also dropped the video for the new single, “Backfire.”
The band has this to say about the track:
“‘Backfire’ is song that musically is a punch in the face, and we wrote the lyrics to follow suit. The song is about choosing who you follow wisely, and not allowing people you’ve never met to influence the decisions you make in life. ‘Backfire’ ticks all the boxes when it comes to an ABR song.”
Their upcoming album features guest spots from guitarist Jason Richardson, as well as Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage, JT Cavey of ERRA, and Spencer Chamberlain of Underøath.
ABR will also embark on the 20 Year Anniversary Tour, during which they will play material off all nine of their albums as they hit North America. They’ll be joined by The Devil Wears Prada and Scottish band Bleed From Within, who are touring the U.S. for the first time.
The first leg of the tour kicks off on February 15 in Silver Spring, MD and runs through March 14 in Charlotte, NC. The second leg launches on April 13 in Philadelphia, PA and wraps on May 12 in Quebec in Canada. The tour marks the first time the band has played Canada since 2019. All dates are listed below.
VIP packages are on sale right now and include an exclusive, 200+ page photo book that spans each year of ABR’s entire career.
