August Burns Red guitarist Brent Rambler will sit out the band’s European tour with Blessthefall and Counterparts due to the birth of his first child.

He said, “As some of you may know, my wife and I are expecting our first baby VERY soon. Because of this I have decided to sit out this European tour, so I can be home to help my wife during the last few weeks of her pregnancy and ensure that I’m present when my son is born.”

Former I, The Breather guitarist Justin Huffman will fill in for Rambler on the trek. Rambler will return for the band’s North American headlining tour, which kicks off on November 1st in Philadelphia.
