Season of Surrender

Season of Surrender

For their 10th album, Pennsylvania metalcore mavens August Burns Red deliver a dynamic collection of songs peppered with special guests. Tech-heavy opener “Legions” features guest vocals from Mike Hranica of Ohio metalcore veterans The Devil Wears Prada. The Meshuggah-esque “Sonic Salvation” includes a guest shot from Jamie Hails of Aussie metalcore squad Polaris. “Cerebral Malfunction” shifts through several movements, including a highly melodic guitar solo and angelic backing vocals from members of Make Them Suffer. Meanwhile, lead single “Behemoth” boasts back-to-back breakdowns and—in what may be a nod to vocalist Jake Luhrs’ Christian beliefs—lyrics about abandoning old ways in order to be reborn.
