Music News: August Burns Red Stream New Single ‘Paramount’

August Burns Red have released their new single ‘Paramount’, another glimpse into their highly anticipated eighth full-length, Guardians, out 3rd April on Fearless Records.

Pre-order the record here.

Says lead guitarist JB Brubaker:

‘Paramount’ is one of my favorite songs from Guardians. It has that classic ABR sound with a bunch of tempo changes and different time signatures. But there’s a recurring melody that glues the whole song together. I think this is a song that longtime fans of the band are going to love.

Drummer Matt Greiner further explains:

At times over the last several years, I felt indifferent and uninterested towards the things that used to fuel me. I learned there is actually meaning in suffering. It’s not random and without purpose. I found that the more I faced the fire, the more empathetic I became towards other people who are also hurting. I found meaning in the pain and stopped running from it. That’s what ‘Paramount’ is about.

The two-time GRAMMY Award-nominated Pennsylvania quintet have been upholding the artistic pillars of technical proficiency, airtight grooves, and thoughtful lyricism in the hard rock world for 17 years now, and return with their most cohesive and collaborative album to date.
