Metalcore stalwarts August Burns Red<\/a> <\/strong>have begun re-recording their debut album, Thrill Seeker<\/em>, which was originally released in 2005 with old vocalist Josh McManness. The re-recording will feature vocalist Jake Luhrs<\/strong>, who joined August Burns Red<\/a> <\/strong>in 2006 and has been featured on every recording since 2007’s Messengers<\/em>. <\/p>\n Luhrs <\/strong>posted a video to Instagram explaining the importance to him of Thrill Seeker <\/em>and participating in the re-recording (h\/t to Lambgoat<\/a> for the transcription):<\/p>\n “So we’re in the studio, day one for the rerecord of Thrill Seeker<\/em>, and in reality, I am really, really excited about recording this record because when I first heard Thrill Seeker<\/em> not being in the band, obviously, from South Carolina, I was just blown away by this album. And in my opinion, it was very progressive for the time. I remember being at a party and my buddy John showed me the record, and I was like ‘Oh my gosh, I wanna be in a band that sounds like this. This is the style of music that I want to be a part of.’ Little did I know that maybe six months later I was gonna have a phone call with Brent, our guitarist, and be like ‘Hey man, come try out to be the frontman of August Burns Red<\/a><\/strong>.’ So this album was the beginning of my journey as the frontman for August Burns Red<\/a><\/strong> in my musical career. These songs I listened to over and over and over again. Not only because I had to tour some of these songs earlier in my career with August Burns Red<\/a><\/strong>, but they just meant so much to me and I just love them so much. So being able to actually be on the record Thrill Seeker<\/em> today and be able to contribute to a record that impacted my life before I was with August Burns Red<\/a><\/strong> just means so much to me, and I’m super pumped.”<\/p>\n This version of Thrill Seeker <\/em>does not currently have a release date set.<\/p>\n
