August Burns Red have put up a lyric video for their newly re-recorded version of “Your Little Suburbia Is In Ruins“. That song is the first single from the metalcore outfit’s newly re-recorded 20th anniversary edition of their debut album, “Thrill Seeker“.
The group’s current lineup hit the studio to revisit that album in its entirety, complete with the bonus track “Pride & Humility“. A January 24th release date has been set for it through ABR Records. Recording sessions for this new effort once again took place under the production team of Carson Slovak & Grant McFarland.
Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, who produced and mixed the original version of the album, guests on the track “Speech Impediment” this time around. Likewise, Josh McManness, who fronted the band during their “Thrill Seeker” era, returns for a guest spot on the track “Barbarian“.
Vocalist Jake Luhrs had the following to say of this opportunity to tackle the album:
“When I joined the band in early 2006, I often spoke about how I’d love to do vocals on a studio recording of ‘Thrill Seeker‘. I did the majority of the touring on the album and always felt a deep connection to it. As the 20 year anniversary of the album approached, we decided to finally give ‘Thrill Seeker‘ a facelift. It was such a rewarding experience to dust these songs off and give them new life. This album changed the course of my life and I can’t wait for fans to hear this.”
