"Relentless and aggressive with a mass of crashing breakdowns that creatively dive in and out of climaxing melodies."

More August Burns Red August Burns Red

Already a lynchpin of the metalcore scene, August Burns Red perfect their most recent musical evolution in Found In Far Away Places, breaking their own mould in doing so.

From the first hit of The Wake this record is relentless and aggressive with a mass of crashing breakdowns that creatively dive in and out of climaxing melodies and the occasional genre swap or atmospheric rise. The band have pushed their technical skill beyond any of their previous works and the result is a record that may well have set the bar for the rest.
