August Burns Red unleash new single, Behemoth

August Burns Red have released a new single and video, appropriately entitled Behemoth.

The track is the metalcore crew’s first since returning to Fearless Records – following 2023 SharpTone album Death Below – and guitarist JB Brubaker explains that it “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.”

Vocalist Jake Luhrs adds that, lyrically, it’s about “the realisation 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.”
