August Burns Red<\/a><\/strong> have been forging their own path in metalcore for over 20 years. Hailing from Lancaster, PA, the band boasts multiple Billboard Top 200 top-10 placements, tours with acts like Bullet For My Valentine<\/strong> and A Day To Remember<\/strong>, and over 600 million streams to their name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, August Burns Red<\/strong> return with "Behemoth," a single that delivers exactly what the title promises: a massive, unrelenting assault of metalcore power. Herculean breakdowns, battering-ram percussion, and battle-cry choruses dominate the track \u2014 yet the band also prove their versatility, weaving quiet, tense moments amid the chaos that amplify the song's sheer ferocity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JB Brubaker<\/strong> spoke about the process behind the song: "'Behemoth' is a song that probably went through more revisions and changes than any song we've ever written. While frustrating at times, the conversations and re-writes were worth the effort as we collectively feel very proud of how this song turned out. I believe it's one of the heaviest and most raw songs we've ever delivered."<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lyrically, frontman Jake Luhrs<\/strong> explains: "'Behemoth' speaks about the realization of past pains living through present actions in life. With the determination to face this reality, a process of healing and breaking old ways leads to a rebirth. It's about cutting the ties to your past, giving it no space to live in the present, and inevitably, changing the course of your life."<\/p>\n\n\n\n
