AUGUST BURNS RED are poised to release one of the most anxiously awaited metal albums of 2011 – a colossal effort entitled “Leveler” – available in stores and online June 21st.
For “Leveler“, AUGUST BURNS RED re-teamed with super producer Jason Suecof, the man behind the board on their 2009 breakout, “Constellations“. The result is an album that pushes the band’s sonic boundaries in every direction, and yet is an unquestionably heavier album than its predecessor.
“Putting out a fourth record is a little scary because we obviously have our sound figured out at this point, but we don’t want to put out a record that just sounds like a redux of our previous albums,” explains guitarist JB Brubaker. “Our tastes are always evolving as musicians and we’ve been motivated to progress as a band and push AUGUST BURNS RED in different directions, while maintaining the characteristics that made us the band we are in the first place.”
