August Burns Red - Empire

[@donxcore4375]

After all those years still one of the best metalcore songs ever .

when you one up the band with the hardcore vibe (napalm death)

[@chadsmiley5485]

Skyscrapers, earthmovers, ground breakers. Our buildings rival the heavens. Our bridges span the seas. Ingenuity is so cunning. Innovation is not ours. Creativity is a luxury. We build with our hands what we have in our hearts. Fight the avalanche. You'll be buried every time. We run and run and run. Keep falling behind. Fight the avalanche. You'll be buried every time. We run and run and run. Always last in line. Before lines were lines, Before time was time, The Author wrote a story in the sky, and earth below. Little do we know we have only what we're given. Light up the sky. We're going where no man has ever gone. Little do we know we have only what we're given. Light up the sky. We're going where no man's forgotten. All You are is all we want. It burns inside us all. We're finding heart in giving soul. We're walking home into thin air singing... We are justice fighters with faces of fire. Many walk away, but we stand firm. We are justice fighters with faces of fire Our decisions affect our descendants. We are justice fighters with faces of fire. Skyscrapers, earthmovers, ground breakers. Our footsteps, bringing purpose, changing history. Skyscrapers, earthmovers, ground breakers. Our footsteps, bringing purpose, changing history

[@chadsmiley5485]

Though I really like this whole song, I particularly like the part when they scream "we run and run and run"

I'm not a Christian nor am i affiliated with any organized religion. Me loving this song just shows how music knows no boundaries. Try to focus more on what brings us together, not what tears us apart.

[@ThisSourKraut]

I couldn't agree more. Very nicely phrased too, I might add.

[@s598104]

Very well said. I am the same way.

[@demonstestification]

I agree music is just music. love it.

Ok, I'm a Christian, and Sharewith, if you have that sort of mind set, guess what bud, I'M not the one to judge you. That's God's job. Rock on guys.

[@mariusciolacu9820]

The elitists are the worst metalheads. My opinion: the metal community wouldn't be so "thrown aside" without them.

[@Shawncsc]

In the words of From Autumn to Ashes, "when did the music become a beauty pageant?" 🤘

[@pradipayogyartha328]

You haven't seen Parkway Drive then, i presume

[@sparda_]

That's the metalcore sort of style, the simple, casual look.

[@migmaggie98]

Think about it.. The level of skill these guys have and their hearts for playing are extremely high. And the lyrics. They aren't just singing "baby baby" over and over again. What they sing about has a message and a meaning. And in my opinion, that's what makes this music truly amazing. Plus they're just awesome.

[@MetalheadDoon]

So true! not like the juvenile rap shit that so many people think is hard and thought-provoking. Metal and punk music remains the most balls-out-in-your-face musical composition!

[@aslmx8320]

Praise God with joyful noise.

[@luisgranja1315]

Amen, is so rare to see a band praise God in this age this is why this guys and for today are my favorite.

[@Beansoman]

+luis granja Oh, Sleeper is also an amazing band if you're looking for that "praise god" aspect. I'm not a religious man but these bands are incredible.

[@luisgranja1315]

INdeed they are thanks for pointing them out,

[@fuguthefish]

Brandon Sarver i think that they have more nonreligious than religious fans

[@jonathanredic7024]

amen!!!!

[@Metal555Fan]

I have a huge amount of respect for these guys, they just have so much talent. I may not listen to Metalcore that much these days but these guys were a huge part of my life and youth back in High-school. Keep up the amazing work ABR, loved the new single from their upcoming album as well!

[@Leb.ertarian]

Metal555Fan Yeah, I'm mostly in the BDM sections of music, but I do have those days where I have to revisit my old favorite bands from highschool as well. haha.

[@Metal555Fan]

Mr Leb I couldn't agree more man! It actually feels pretty good and "refreshing" in a way, ahah.

All these years later and these guys continue to absolutely crush it. Easily one of the greatest Metal bands of all time.

[@evanhelmkay2490]

The best*

[@uli_734]

I remember when this song released, vividly remember those High school days

[@ExtinctHermit]

The breakdown in the end is still one of the greatest breakdowns of all time

[@GetScaredGaming]

Literally the best metalcore band, no denying it. I love these guys soooooo much holy crap, gotta buy VIP tickets!

[@Aemmeroli1997]

+GetScaredGaming Those guys are awesome. Listen to Breakdown of Sanity, same style and also really good

[@jakobfel2]

+GetScaredGaming These guys and Phinehas are, at least from a technical perspective, the best. My favorites are Phinehas, Silent Planet, Mouth of the South (now renamed Rival Choir), Fit for a King, ABR, etc. :)

[@VibratorPoliceisgod]

+GetScaredGaming You should check out Parkway Drive, they're very similar to ABR

[@GetScaredGaming]

Pink guy Im aware of them, great band. Not huge on their new album though :/ Only song i really like a lot on it is Vice Grip

[@VibratorPoliceisgod]

GetScaredGaming Their new album took a while to grow on me.

[@DJCliftOfficial]

1:47 - 2:37 is my favorite part by far. So epic!!

[@messynate]

D.J. Clift yea that turns the song around. Never been a fan of this band, all songs sound alike to me. And hardcore rock is my favorite genre

What I love about August Burns Red is that they can put every element in a metalcore song and don't sound weird. Listen to that 2:05 part, that's freaking badass!

[@Repsolthefirst]

Jelly as fuck dude. Was really hoping they'd get announced for Impericon this year. Fucking pissed still ain't got to see them live.

[@DraculaXHunter101]

Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez Seriously one of the best shows I've probably been to. Next to seeing Parkway Drive and Killswitch Engage. The Frozen Flame tour was insanely good. BTW they closed it off with Empire. Also sucks you weren't able to see them. You'll get your chance my dude. I promise one day August Burns Red will come to Impericon.

[@Repsolthefirst]

[@Rawk4Life]

[@ianperry9598]

My first experience of ABR was this song. I used to blast this over and over in my basement. Loved them then and still today!

[@DJCliftOfficial]

Watched this video so many times now, and every time I re-watch 1:47 - 2:37 at least once, usually twice. It's just so good! "Who You are is all we want. It burns inside us all! We're finding heart and giving soul. We're walking home into thin air singing, 'Oh whoa ow oh oh!'" Love it!

If you have the chance to see these guys live, take it. They far exceeded my expectations with their talent. Sounds exactly like this studio version if not better!

Saw August burns red, Fit For A King, Northlane, and Miss May last night at Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma city. Was so freakin awesome. Loved every minute of it. My Bud and his 6 year old daughter were there. She rocked it! Can never learn to listen to awesome music to early in life.

[@jaredeal210]

ABR, talent wise, is unmatched by any metal band. I personally grew up listening to them, and to be honest they're the only "metalcore" band I can listen to and fully enjoy. Most other metal core bands have the classic girly cleans and really generic breakdowns and verses. That style fucking kills me, like most of the shit at warped tour. ABR and some melodic hardcore like the ghost inside are the only metal I can listen to. They really have a unmatched sound as far as other bands, I guess metal core was just a easy label to slide them in...

I only recently fell in love with BVB when i first listened to them a few months ago. I also love ABR as well, mainly because i idolize Matt's drumming style. C'mon people, respect all rock listeners. You could very well be shitting on someone for liking a band that probably saved their life. It's already a rough world, people. Don't go making it worse.

[@pjl1979]

This was off of by far their best album. Their latest just seemed to go back to what they used to play. Whereas this album had huge amounts of variation and some decent melodies. A lot of their older and latest album stuff is a bit too 'meta-riff' for me.
