About August Burns Red
August Burns Red formed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 2005 and spent the better part of two decades becoming one of metalcore's most reliable names. They're not trendsetting, which is kind of the point. Their albums maintain a consistent approach to technical riffing and controlled aggression without chasing trends. Messengers put them on people's radar, but they've basically been putting out solid records ever since. They tour constantly, which means they've actually built a fanbase of people who've seen them multiple times rather than once at a festival. The band's tighter than they need to be, songs are tighter than they need to be, and their attitude seems to be that if you're going to do this, do it properly. Not flashy, not reinventing anything, just consistent metalcore from people who clearly still want to play shows.
Their crowds are focused, not frenzied. People know every word and the pit moves with the song rather than mindlessly circulating. No stage banter to speak of. They just play, and it feels like they're working as hard as the crowd is sweating.
Known for Messengers, Consumer, The Reflective Property, Identity, Barbarian
August Burns Red + Sacramento
August Burns Red rolled through Discovery Park in October, delivering a setlist that balanced their technical prowess with some deeper cuts. They opened with 'Composure' and worked through a mix that included the crushing 'Bloodletter' and the atmospheric 'Marianas Trench,' songs that showcase why they've remained relevant in metalcore for nearly two decades. The band's ability to move between intricate guitar work and sheer heaviness was on full display, making their Sacramento stop feel like a band still hungry to prove something.
