August Burns Red
August Burns Red gained a reputation for complex rhythmic shifts and intricate guitar work on this 2009 release. Solid State Records provided the home for this sound during the metalcore boom of the late 2000s.
The production maintains a crisp and aggressive energy throughout the tracklist. By alternating between heavy breakdowns and soaring, anthemic choruses, the band creates a distinct contrast that sets the music apart from their contemporaries.
