August Burns Red‘s brand new track “Behemoth” has just gone up online. The Lancaster, PA metalcore veterans are unveiling it as the first glimpse at their forthcoming eleventh studio album. Recording sessions for that outing wrapped up last fall, once again taking place under the production team of Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland. The band have also returned to Fearless Records for this new outing.
Guitarist JB Brubaker commented:
“‘Behemoth‘ is a song that probably went through more revisions and changes than any song we’ve ever written. While frustrating at times, the conversations and re-writes were worth the effort as we collectively feel very proud of how this song turned out. I believe it’s one of the heaviest and most raw songs we’ve ever delivered.”
Vocalist Jake Luhrs added:
“Lyrically, ‘Behemoth‘ speaks about the realization of past pains living through present actions in life. With the determination to face this reality, a process of healing and breaking old ways leads to a rebirth. It’s about cutting the ties to your past, giving it no space to live in the present, and inevitably, changing the course of your life.”
