+luis granja Oh, Sleeper is also an amazing band if you're looking for that "praise god" aspect. I'm not a religious man but these bands are incredible.
Skyscrapers, earthmovers, ground breakers. Our buildings rival the heavens. Our bridges span the seas. Ingenuity is so cunning. Innovation is not ours. Creativity is a luxury. We build with our hands what we have in our hearts. Fight the avalanche. You'll be buried every time. We run and run and run. Keep falling behind. Fight the avalanche. You'll be buried every time. We run and run and run. Always last in line. Before lines were lines, Before time was time, The Author wrote a story in the sky, and earth below. Little do we know we have only what we're given. Light up the sky. We're going where no man has ever gone. Little do we know we have only what we're given. Light up the sky. We're going where no man's forgotten. All You are is all we want. It burns inside us all. We're finding heart in giving soul. We're walking home into thin air singing... We are justice fighters with faces of fire. Many walk away, but we stand firm. We are justice fighters with faces of fire Our decisions affect our descendants. We are justice fighters with faces of fire. Skyscrapers, earthmovers, ground breakers. Our footsteps, bringing purpose, changing history. Skyscrapers, earthmovers, ground breakers. Our footsteps, bringing purpose, changing history
I'm not a Christian nor am i affiliated with any organized religion. Me loving this song just shows how music knows no boundaries. Try to focus more on what brings us together, not what tears us apart.
Think about it.. The level of skill these guys have and their hearts for playing are extremely high. And the lyrics. They aren't just singing "baby baby" over and over again. What they sing about has a message and a meaning. And in my opinion, that's what makes this music truly amazing. Plus they're just awesome.
So true! not like the juvenile rap shit that so many people think is hard and thought-provoking. Metal and punk music remains the most balls-out-in-your-face musical composition!
I have a huge amount of respect for these guys, they just have so much talent. I may not listen to Metalcore that much these days but these guys were a huge part of my life and youth back in High-school. Keep up the amazing work ABR, loved the new single from their upcoming album as well!
Metal555Fan Yeah, I'm mostly in the BDM sections of music, but I do have those days where I have to revisit my old favorite bands from highschool as well. haha.
+GetScaredGaming These guys and Phinehas are, at least from a technical perspective, the best. My favorites are Phinehas, Silent Planet, Mouth of the South (now renamed Rival Choir), Fit for a King, ABR, etc. :)
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez Seriously one of the best shows I've probably been to. Next to seeing Parkway Drive and Killswitch Engage. The Frozen Flame tour was insanely good. BTW they closed it off with Empire. Also sucks you weren't able to see them. You'll get your chance my dude. I promise one day August Burns Red will come to Impericon.
What I love about August Burns Red is that they can put every element in a metalcore song and don't sound weird. Listen to that 2:05 part, that's freaking badass!
I used to think that Christians couldn't listen to this kind of music.. I used to not really have a favorite genre although I have always loved heavy metal but now I have found my band. : thanks guys keep up the work :)
really shouldnt listen to this song at night it just strengthens my energy and makes me go crazy cuz this song is PURE AWESOMENESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Watched this video so many times now, and every time I re-watch 1:47 - 2:37 at least once, usually twice. It's just so good! "Who You are is all we want. It burns inside us all! We're finding heart and giving soul. We're walking home into thin air singing, 'Oh whoa ow oh oh!'" Love it!
If you have the chance to see these guys live, take it. They far exceeded my expectations with their talent. Sounds exactly like this studio version if not better!
Saw August burns red, Fit For A King, Northlane, and Miss May last night at Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma city. Was so freakin awesome. Loved every minute of it. My Bud and his 6 year old daughter were there. She rocked it! Can never learn to listen to awesome music to early in life.
Never!! I started listening to them when I was 22. I'm 26 now and they are one of my favorite bands. Metalcore is just another genre and ABR is a unique band in the metalcore scene.
Sometimes I wish people could see the talent that these guys have as a whole, you guys are fantastic , I've learned most of all your songs on guitar and just recently covered this song, this song is fucking awesome to jam to it gives me chills
I just wish I could go back in time and watch these guys live again. Saw them last summer and holy fuck, they were so amazing! The bass hit your chest so hard!
+Christopher Epperson It's not sad. It's par for the course. Politicians aren't in it to understand and level with everyone else. They're there to get paid. It's not like socrates was a politician. Good artists are our socrates.
Not only is he not talking a salary but donating it instead, he's lost a ton of personal wealth with all the dragging his name and family through the mud.
ABR, talent wise, is unmatched by any metal band. I personally grew up listening to them, and to be honest they're the only "metalcore" band I can listen to and fully enjoy. Most other metal core bands have the classic girly cleans and really generic breakdowns and verses. That style fucking kills me, like most of the shit at warped tour. ABR and some melodic hardcore like the ghost inside are the only metal I can listen to. They really have a unmatched sound as far as other bands, I guess metal core was just a easy label to slide them in...
