August Burns Red Announce New Album Death Below

Death Below is set for release March 24, 2023. Watch the music video for "Ancestry."



Grammy-nominated Lancaster five-piece August Burns Red have announced their new album Death Below. It arrives on March 24 via SharpTone Records.

"'Ancestry" is a complex and technical ABR track held together by perhaps the most painful and personal lyrics Jake has ever written," says Brubaker. "I loved this song in every phase since its inception. From the instrumental rendition, to the lyrics and vocals being added, to finally bringing it all together with Jesse's anthemic guest vocals, "Ancestry" is a song we've been looking forward to sharing with the world for a long time."


The album features additional guest spots from guitarist Jason Richardson, as well as JT Cavey of ERRA and Spencer Chamberlain of Underoath.
