Hailing from Lancaster, PA, the band boasts multiple Billboard Top 200 top-10 placements, tours with acts like <strong>Bullet For My Valentine<\/strong> and <strong>A Day To Remember<\/strong>, and over 600 million streams to their name. <\/p>\n<p>Now, <strong>August Burns Red<\/strong> return with &#8220;Behemoth,&#8221; a single that delivers exactly what the title promises: a massive, unrelenting assault of metalcore power. Herculean breakdowns, battering-ram percussion, and battle-cry choruses dominate the track \u2014 yet the band also prove their versatility, weaving quiet, tense moments amid the chaos that amplify the song&#8217;s sheer ferocity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JB Brubaker<\/strong> spoke about the process behind the song: &#8220;&#8216;Behemoth&#8217; is a song that probably went through more revisions and changes than any song we&#8217;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&#8217;s one of the heaviest and most raw songs we&#8217;ve ever delivered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lyrically, frontman <strong>Jake Luhrs<\/strong> explains: &#8220;&#8216;Behemoth&#8217; speaks about the realization 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&#8217;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"August Burns Red - Behemoth (Official Music Video)\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1P4TAZFpROc?feature=oembed\" frameborder allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>August Burns Red<\/strong> have also celebrated their triumphant return to Fearless Records, marking a new chapter in a career defined by consistency, evolution, and relentless heaviness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Amity Affliction<\/strong>, <strong>August Burns Red<\/strong>, <strong>Boundaries<\/strong>, and <strong>Heavensgate<\/strong> are teaming up for a pretty extensive North American tour in 2026.
