August Burns Red’s tenth full-length Season of Surrender sees them craft an album that effortlessly integrates the brutal breakdowns of their classic era with instrumental flourishes. “This album is rooted in traditional August Burns Red and I think it’s the heaviest album we’ve written in a long time,” explains vocalist Jake Luhrs. From the technical mastery of “Behemoth” to the unbridled aggression of “Legions” (which features The Devil Wears Prada’s Mike Hranica), Season of Surrender sees August Burns Red further developing their sonic identity while staying true to the band’s roots as metalcore trailblazers.
