Post Description

This CD recorded in, appropriately enough, the band’s Home-town of Manheim, PA - drew a sold-out crowd of 1,250 people who wanted to participate in the exciting performance, including some who traveled internationally, from as close as Montreal to as far as away as Amsterdam. The powerful, pummeling performance featured many fan favorites from the band’s three full-length albums, Constellations, 2007’s Messengers and 2005’s Thrill Seeker, meaning that Home will appeal to both new and longtime August Burns Red fans. Shot and edited by Space Monkey Studios, whose phenomenal work has been seen on releases by acts like COHEED AND CAMBRIA, LAMB OF GOD, EVERY TIME I DIE and more, the live show is accompanied by a documentary on the band detailing life on the road and at home and featuring many fans discussing the ways in which AUGUST BURNS RED have impacted their lives in a positive, meaningful way.

Kortom: heerlijke metalcore om het weekend mee te beginnen! Nog een leuk wist-je-datje:

De bandnaam is volgens de band afgeleid uit een incident dat de eerste vocalist, Jon Hershey, heeft meegemaakt. Toen hij de relatie verbrak met zijn vriendin August werd ze zo kwaad dat ze Jons Ierse setter Redd levend in zijn hondenhok verbrandde. De plaatselijke krant meldde: August Burns Redd.
