August Burns Red - Death Below (Limited Edition Red-Black Inkspot Vinyl) 2LP

“Death Below” marks the ninth studio album from August Burns Red, a band that has consistently defined and refined modern metalcore for nearly two decades. Praised by Revolver, who featured the band on their cover in 2020 for how they “embrace pain so well,” that statement has never rung truer than on this record.

Recorded once again with longtime collaborators Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland, Death Below captures August Burns Red at their most focused and emotionally driven. The album pulls from the full spectrum of the band’s sound, embracing the pissed-off intensity and technical ferocity that defined their earlier work, while never losing sight of the melodic hooks and anthemic structures that have earned them a devoted global following.

Musically, Death Below is relentless yet refined. Precision-cut riffs, complex drum patterns and dynamic tempo shifts collide with soaring melodies and powerful breakdowns. The band’s ability to balance aggression and accessibility feels effortless, resulting in songs that hit hard without sacrificing emotional depth or memorability.

Lyrically, the album confronts themes of struggle, pain, perseverance and inner conflict, reinforcing the emotional weight that runs throughout the record. Rather than retreating from intensity, August Burns Red lean into it, transforming adversity into a source of creative strength.

Pressed as a Limited Edition Red-Black Inkspot Vinyl 2LP, this release offers an immersive listening experience that does justice to the album’s dynamic range and sonic detail. From blistering fast passages to atmospheric moments of reflection, Death Below stands as a powerful statement from a band that continues to evolve without abandoning its core identity.

For longtime fans and newcomers alike, Death Below reaffirms August Burns Red’s place at the forefront of modern metalcore, confident, uncompromising and emotionally resonant.
