August Burns Red unveils second single from upcoming album, “Bones”

August Burns Red have cemented themselves as one of the most consistently solid bands in all of metalcore. Many of their records could be considered their overall best – from 2007’s Messengers to even Rescue and Restore – but it’s the band’s overall consistency in their genre that really makes them a crowd favorite. It’s not for nothing they’re about to tour with Killswitch Engage, for instance.

The band’s new single, “Bones”, is another catchy single that doesn’t stray far from what ABR does best – riff-heavy, melodic metalcore with a powerful vocal performance from Jake Luhrs. Don’t believe us? Listen to “Bones” below.

“‘Bones’ is a song about taking a step back and realizing that we need to preserve different cultures…even ones you may not agree with,” the band says. “Musically, it’s thrashy and hopefully catchy enough to be stuck in your head for days.”

The two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated Pennsylvania quintet—JB Brubaker [lead guitar], Brent Rambler [rhythm guitar], Matt Greiner [drums], Jake Luhrs [lead vocals], and Dustin Davidson [bass]—recently shared the comic book-inspired video for the new song “Defender.” Watch + listen here.

“Guardians is the culmination of a complete and total team effort,” said Brubaker upon announcing Guardians. “Dustin and I collaborated musically more than we ever have before. Jake and Brent collaborated vocally more than they ever have before. Matt bounced more drum ideas off of us than we could even comprehend. It was the most time we’ve ever spent in the studio on one album. We’re all so proud of this record, and we can’t wait to share it with the world.”
