August Burns Red Recording New Album Next Week: ‘This New Record Will Push the Boundaries of Our Genre’

by | Feb 12, 2013

August Burns Red will enter the studio next week to begin recording their fifth studio album.

Set to enter the studio with Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland on February 19th, the band said this will be their best album to date.

Commented guitarist JB Brubaker, “This new record will push the boundaries of our genre more than we ever have before. We set out to write a record where every song stands out from the last. There is a lot of ground covered here and a ton of meat to this album. It’s full of odd metered rhythms and breakdowns, unexpected twists and turns, and some of our most technical riffing to date. Each of us have parts that make our heads spin and we have had to practice like crazy to get some of this stuff together. I know we always say this, but this will be our most ambitious album yet.”

The record is due out later this year.
