August Burns Red at Fillmore Auditorium

There’s nothing like an album anniversary tour! August Burns Red will be on the road this fall to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their 2013 album, Rescue & Restore. The album, released through Solid Straight Records, has been deemed as one of August Burns Red’s best efforts. It was one of the band’s highest charting work on the Billboard 200, and it peaked at number 2 on the Top Christian Albums chart.

While creating the record, the band was reported to have pushed the boundaries of their genre more than ever. “We set out to write a record where every song stands out from the last. There is a lot of ground covered here and a ton of meat to this album. It's full of odd-metered rhythms and breakdowns, unexpected twists and turns, and some of our most technical riffing to date,” mentions August Burns Red guitarist JB Brubaker. He added that each member had their compelling part that stands out in the album, “Each of us has parts that make our heads spin, and we have had to practice like crazy to get some of this stuff together." Brubaker continued to say that this was their most ambitious album yet.

Having received wide critical acclaim, Rescue & Restore was referred to by music journalists as “demanding and rewarding.” Some descriptions in album reviews also include the words “stellar achievement” and “an incredible leap.” The music critic from Metal Hammer also accredited August Burns Red for making metalcore relevant again through their fantastic work with the record.

Ten years after its release, the impact Rescue & Restore had on the music scene is still evident, and it’s only fitting that the band celebrates its legacy by dedicating an entire tour. The Rescue & Restore Tenth Year Anniversary Tour’s setlist includes the entire album, plus some additional songs from other efforts, including their recently released Death Below. There is no better time to be a metalcore fan than now because August Burns Red will remind fans why they are at the forefront of Christian metal with their tight sets and gargantuan stage presence. With seven number 1 albums, no other bands of their caliber come close to their achievements.
