AUGUST BURNS RED SHARE NEW SONG “PARAMOUNT” — LISTEN
NEW ALBUM GUARDIANS ARRIVES APRIL 3 VIA FEARLESS RECORDS
Two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated Pennsylvania quintet AUGUST BURNS RED —JB Brubaker [lead guitar], Brent Rambler [rhythm guitar], Matt Greiner [drums], Jake Luhrs [lead vocals], and Dustin Davidson [bass]—have just shared the new song “Paramount.” Listen here.
The track appears on ABR’s upcoming eighth full length, Guardians, out April 3 on Fearless Records.
“‘Paramount’ is one of my favorite songs from Guardians,” says Brubaker. “It has that classic ABR sound with a bunch of tempo changes and different time signatures. But there’s a recurring melody that glues the whole song together. I think this is a song that longtime fans of the band are going to love.”
Greiner further explains, “At times over the last several years, I felt indifferent and uninterested towards the things that used to fuel me. I learned there is actually meaning in suffering. It’s not random and without purpose. I found that the more I faced the fire, the more empathetic I became towards other people who are also hurting. I found meaning in the pain and stopped running from it. That’s what ‘Paramount’ is about.”
Listen to “Bones,” which premiered via SiriusXM’s Liquid Metal, here.
The band also shared the comic book-inspired video for the new song “Defender.” Watch + listen here.
