Good news! August Burns Red<\/a><\/strong> is releasing a new single called “Exhumed” on September 13. Weird news! The single is being released via August Burns Red<\/a><\/strong>‘s own label ABR Records and not SharpTone Records. So I guess August Burns Red<\/a><\/strong> is an independent band now?<\/p>\n August Burns Red<\/a><\/strong> released their 2023 album Death Below<\/em> via SharpTone Records, but has released some live stuff and the Leveler: 10th<\/sup> Anniversary Edition<\/em> via their own ABR Records. So this will be the first release of solely new music independently for August Burns Red<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The arrival of new music also comes ahead of August Burns Red<\/a><\/strong> releasing the re-recorded version of their 2005 debut album Thrill Seeker. According to vocalist Jake Luhrs<\/strong> in a recent Instagram post, the re-recording is currently underway and does not have a release date.<\/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,” said Luhrs<\/strong>. “And in my opinion, it was very progressive for the time.<\/p>\n I remember being at a party and my buddy John<\/strong> 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<\/strong>, our guitarist, and be like ‘Hey man, come try out to be the frontman of August Burns Red<\/a><\/strong>.’<\/p>\n “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.<\/p>\n “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.<\/p>\n
