We’re getting closer to new music from August Burns Red

The tenth studio album by August Burns Red seems to be nearing completion, as theprp reports. This past Friday, November 21st, vocalist Jake Luhrs announced on social media that his vocal sessions for the record, which the metalcore group plans to release in 2026, are now complete. Luhrs said in that post that Grant McFarland was back behind the boards during the recording sessions.

Today I celebrate the last day in the studio. Two months of grinding with @grantrmcfarland and @brentrambler on vocals along with the rest of the boys.

This one’s a hitter. Beyond blessed to be in a position of creativity and art.

Enjoy your weekend, I’ll be resting and learning songs for CBR.

Album 10 is coming…

August Burns Red is likely the only metal act ever described as “thrillingly empathetic” (Kerrang!). It’s a testament to the ferocious band’s ability to recognize and connect with the mixture of brokenness and hope found in their audience and within themselves. A hard-working collective with a shockingly stable lineup for the vast majority of their career, August Burns Red pour every ounce of themselves into their music. Atmospheric, riff-laden, aggressive bursts of controlled chaos, filled with shifting time signatures and tempos, deliver confessional, self-reflective, and authentic emotion. Songs like “White Washed,” “Marianas Trench,” “Invisible Enemy,” and “Paramount” are undeniable anthems. 

Tour stops with Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive, and Bring Me the Horizon; several major international hard rock festivals (Rock Am Ring, Download, and Aftershock, to name a few); and the Vans Warped Tour are among the destinations around the world to witness ABR’s live prowess. 

Massive headlining treks celebrating 10-year anniversaries for “Messengers”, “Constellations”, and “Leveler” demonstrated the enduring relevance of the band’s catalog, nearly 20 years into ABR’s storied career. 2020’s “Guardians” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hard Music, Rock Albums, and Vinyl Albums charts.
