August Burns Red - The Cleansing

[@AnglerAddictsTV]

Dare I say one of the best ABR songs?

[@michaelklaassen6127]

It really is a journey. I think it’s my favorite on the album.

[@TheMrXzone]

imo, it can be easily in the top 10 best ABR songs.

[@tbeng12]

hell yeah it's easily top 15

[@Hugobianca]

yes

[@imadog3926]

Premonition was certainly a nice intro song, I'm cool with this

[@LatinFury88]

I haven’t even made it through the rest of the album because I can’t get past this song. “From the throne to the thorns.” Yyyyyoooooooooo.

[@reygarcia10]

Holy shit, I’ve been ignoring this band for so many years and today I decided to give them a chance and wow, i am speechless, what a hell of a song, this song caught me off guard since the very first second and i was instantly blown away

[@stephensummers1958]

first 4 albums are peak ABR. The recent stuff is just alright. I couldn't get into guardians very much. I felt it was very bland. This new album seems pretty decent though. But to me NOTHING will ever top constellations and Leveler. Phantom Anthem is pretty darn good too. And Found in Far Away places has some good stuff. But go check out constellations and leveler!

[@AttilatheThrilla]

Check out their song Invisible Enemy 👌

[@PineappleDrew]

Same!!!! Its fucking explode my soul...

[@Ryan-qb5wd]

​@@stephensummers1958 Rescue & Restore and Constellations is peak ABR for me. All of their albums are pretty solid, tho, including Death Below.

[@stephensummers1958]

@@Ryan-qb5wd I do like r&r a lot

[@retrogamer41_sepiamta]

Hands down their darkest song to date. I can definitely feel some Black Metal blast beats that Matt engage on this one, which I absolutely love.

[@itherevenant]

The ending, phenomenal 10/10.

[@TenaciousJoe24]

That interlude giving me phantom anthem vibes

[@KevinCorkran]

best band ever.

[@coryorcutt4528]

Have loved ABR since Burner and fell head over heels with Constellation. Never ever a disappointment, and while most bands end up changing their sound over time. ABR has just continued to master and perfect what makes them, them.

[@Visoniscrazy]

2:26 hits different for ABR and I absolutely love it.

[@Visoniscrazy]

But then where's the longer solos. Some poeple 😅

[@RafaelCDet]

Sounds straight out of the 80s... and it's amazing

[@seanpowers1906]

Loving Jake's highs on this! Reminds me of Messengers. Amazing progressive metal track. What an opener!

[@JohnnyontheSpot1117]

I'll tell you what, matt can beat the hell out of a drumset

[@erwincolten]

The whole song is fantastic but the bit between 5:00-5:15 gives me chills. The double base right there is 🤌🏼

[@TheAceOfOnes]

The intro + this song is a golden example of how to tell a compelling story through song no matter what genre you like. ABR is aging like a fine wine, the most consistent band of all time!

[@joeswanson420]

and still all the same members right?

[@TheAceOfOnes]

@@joeswanson420 yessir!

[@joeswanson420]

@@TheAceOfOnes that's what I was thinking. Not many bands are able to keep all members through all these years(modern metal I mean)

[@nestproductions7420]

That transition from black metal into post prog is beautiful!

[@ezrahubik9962]

ABSOLUTE BANGER

[@madelinestatkewicz4676]

5:30 starts to remind me of Hallelujah. Beautiful.

[@disrememberence]

This epic part may be the all time best of ABR.

[@lee-eg5or]

Wow the energy in this is godly like! Love it

[@FR0_MAGNUM]

Never been much of a fan before, but this album is damn good. It reminds me of what Killswitch did waaaay back in the day when The End of Heartache came out. Taking a super heavy genre and kinda mainstreaming it a bit. I don't mean that as an insult at all, either. This album slaps.

[@hotshotelectrichead521]

"FROM THE THRONE TO THE THORNS!!!!!!!" 🤘🔥

[@makaroshka6698]

that sounds so sweet, thanks for playing

[@xBongWater]

Sharptone leveled this band up, OMFG.. idk how im just hearing this? I love this!

“You begged for relief, now I bring you the cleansing.” Best lyrics off the album. Straight Sodom and Gomorrah vibes. Love it.

This is your friendly reminder that Christ took the bullet for you and then overcame death itself by being resurrected so that you’d believe in Him as the proven way out of this mess and “not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

[@beatzoo]

Anti NWO song "Te observé desde el cielo Mientras las poblaciones aumentaban Festejando en la Tierra como moscas Asegurando tu ruina Generaciones repitiendo el patrón Sus historias contadas pero nunca cambiaron sus mentes Una vida de excesos, siguiendo alimentando al glotón Disfrutando de la suciedad como una horda de cerdos Ven ahora, observa la caída Rogaste por alivio, ahora te traigo la purificación Ven ahora, observa la caída Una plaga de desprecio, un diluvio de dolor Te observé desde el cielo Mientras los empobrecidos mueren No prestes atención a sus gritos Ahora tiembla mientras me elevo Siente mis manos pestilentes Toque pernicioso Mis brazos ruinosos te abrazan Mi cuchilla para la horda Vengando la suciedad, perdonaré a unos pocos (perdonaré a unos pocos) Solo hace falta uno para encender Una chispa para emanar Las masas, pronto despertarán Sus voces resonarán Expuesto por lo que soy No más escondiéndome en las sombras Soy alabado por las malas hierbas Estoy condenado al patíbulo Un héroe de los paganos Soy un pilar de desesperación Un abismo vasto y vacío de oscuridad (Nos encontrarás allí) Nos encontrarás allí Mientras avanzo a través de la horda Insistente en propagar mi rabia Bajo tierra negra y lágrimas secas Sus rostros comienzan a cambiar Un hombre se puso de pie Su temperamento se negó a ser vencido Una canción para el fugitivo La gente, le oyó decir "Recupera tu voz, alza la cabeza Y enfoca tus ojos en el cielo Nuestro tiempo no debe terminar aún Juntos, juntos, juntos sanaremos Sanaremos" Nuestro tiempo no debe terminar aún Juntos sanaremos Esta canción es para ustedes, mis amigos Esta vez, estas vidas, este mundo Son nuestros para cuidar Desde el trono hasta las espinas Te observé desde el cielo Mientras el sol comienza a salir Revelando mi disfraz Finalmente puedo cerrar mis ojos Ven ahora, observa mi caída Ven ahora, observa mi caída Ven ahora, observa mi caída Mi engaño creó desafío Ven ahora, observa mi caída Mi traición llevó a su triunfo"

[@beatzoo]

En resumen, "The Cleansing" parece abordar temas de observación crítica de la sociedad, la necesidad de cambio y la posibilidad de redención o transformación. La canción parece motivar a la gente a ser consciente de sus acciones y trabajar juntos para mejorar la situación y encontrar un camino más positivo hacia adelante.

I loved them, but somehow their mastering, and washed out sound sounds repetative. McFarland and Slovak, it's your fault 😂 If i listen to the new ABR stuff, it's like putting in a Galactic Empire CD. Still much Respect to the guys from ABR, they saved my life. Literally.
