As they have come to a close with their long time record label Solid State, August Burns Red have moved up the chain signing a deal with Fearless Records.
Both the band and record label made statements about the new deal.
August Burns Red guitarist JB Brubaker stated:
“We are all extremely excited to be a part of the Fearless family. Fearless has done an amazing job building a community within the label as well as a bunch of our friends bands and careers. We can’t wait to see what they can do with ABR. I am about 5 songs deep into writing the new record and I feel like it’s some of the most creative and heavy stuff we have ever written. 2015 is gonna be a great year for August Burns Red. See you on the road!”
Fearless Records stated:
“Our team could not be happier with ABR’s decision to join Fearless. We’ve watched this band continue to raise the bar with each release, solidifying themselves as one of the most relevant and influential bands in the scene. Their songwriting, work ethic, and attitude are the perfect fit for Fearless, and we’re looking forward to a very bright future with them.”
The new deal probably means a bigger budget for the band who have continued to rise to the pinnacle of metalcore, we can expect some big stuff from the band in their next release likely to be mid-2015!
