A trailer for “Home”, the new DVD/CD from the Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based Christian metalcore quintet AUGUST BURNS RED, can be viewed below.
Fans can stream the first single from the live DVD/CD, “White Washed”, on the band’s newly redesigned MySpace site. A fan favorite, “White Washed” is among the stand-out tracks from “Constellations”, the band’s most recent studio album, which stormed into The Billboard 200 at No. 24 and rocketed the band to the forefront of the metal scene.
In conjunction with the redesigned MySpace page, ABR has redesigned and relaunched all of its social sites, including its Facebook bandpage, Twitter and YouTube pages. The band has also announced a series of pre-order options for “Home”, which is set for release via longtime label Solid State Records on September 28. Fans can order any number of exclusive packages which include bonus items like t-shirts, posters, signed booklets and even an ABR pillowcase.
The “Home” DVD/CD captures AUGUST BURNS RED‘s June 4 concert at Warehouse 54 in Manheim, Pennsylvania. The DVD/CD shoot drew a sold-out crowd of 1,250 people who wanted to participate in the exciting performance, including some who traveled internationally, from as close as Montreal to as far as away as Amsterdam. Shot and edited by Space Monkey Studios, whose phenomenal work has been seen on releases by acts like COHEED AND CAMBRIA, LAMB OF GOD, EVERY TIME I DIE and more, the live show is accompanied by a documentary on the band detailing life on the road and at home and featuring many fans discussing the ways in which AUGUST BURNS RED have impacted their lives in a positive, meaningful way.
“We played our first ever show as a band in Manheim in April of 2003,” explains Brubaker. “Between then and now, we’ve been fortunate enough to play all over the world. But when it came time for us to record our first live DVD/CD, it only made sense to do so back in Manheim where everything began. It was exciting for us to have people come from far and wide to the town where most of us grew up, and to be able to play such a special show in front of our families and close friends who have been supporting us since the beginning.”
The powerful, pummeling performance featured many fan favorites from the band’s three full-length albums — 2009’s “Constellations”, 2007’s “Messengers” and 2005’s “Thrillseeker” — which means that “Home” will appeal to both new and longtime AUGUST BURNS RED fans.
