Throughout their career, AUGUST BURNS RED has remained a hard-working collective with a remarkably stable lineup, dedicating themselves entirely to their music.

Their live performances have been praised and witnessed worldwide, touring alongside esteemed acts like LAMB OF GOD, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, PARKWAY DRIVE, and BRING ME THE HORIZON, as well as headlining major international hard rock festivals.
The band’s 2020 album “Guardians” debuted at No. 1 on multiple Billboard charts, showcasing their enduring relevance and popularity. “Death Below,” their ninth studio album, continues their evolution with a remarkable display of pissed-off strength and catchy, melodic prowess. Notably, the album features guest appearances from esteemed musicians such as Jesse Leach (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE), Spencer Chamberlain (UNDEROATH), Jason Richardson (ALL THAT REMAINS), and JT Cavey (ERRA), solidifying AUGUST BURNS RED‘s status as a force to be reckoned with in the metal scene.
