It’s tradition for August Burns Red to celebrate the Christmas holidays with song and this year is no different. The band have premiered the below cover of Greensleeves‘ “What Child Is This?“. Guitarist JB Brubaker commented:
“In keeping with our annual tradition we are pleased to announce the release of this year’s Christmas song, ‘What Child Is This (Greensleeves).’ This song has a bit of a black metal flavor, but takes a turn in the middle. We always have fun writing and recording the holiday songs and we hope you like it too.”
In addition to writing new songs, the band have plans to embark on this 10th anniversary tour for their 2007 album, “Messengers“, in early 2017.
