    In a career spanning over two decades, August Burns Red has consistently pushed the boundaries of modern metalcore. Today, the band marks another monumental milestone with the release of their 11th studio album, Season of Surrender, via Fearless Records.

    This new record is described by vocalist Jake Luhrs as their most collaborative and emotionally vulnerable work to date. “It’s about recognizing there’s a choice to make,” Luhrs shared. “You can either let trauma define you, or you can surrender it and heal. This album is the sound of that healing process.”

    A Legacy of Resilience

    From the blistering speed of “S.O.S.” to the hauntingly beautiful closer “Forged by Failure,” Season of Surrender is a masterclass in technical precision and raw sincerity. The album features 11 tracks that showcase why ABR remains at the pinnacle of the genre, even after 20 years of ups and downs as a musical family.

    Fans can expect the signature crushing breakdowns and intricate guitar work that have become the band’s hallmark, but with an added layer of maturity and hope. As the band prepares to take these new anthems on the road, Season of Surrender stands as a testament to the power of resilience in the face of life’s greatest challenges.

  • SAVAGE: Dutch Death Metal Crew Announce New EP Septic Tomb

    Hailing from Groningen, The Netherlands, SAVAGE continue their march through the death metal underground with the announcement of their upcoming EP Septic Tomb, set for release on July 6th, 2026.

    Born from the ashes of Dutch death metal outfit Entrapment, SAVAGE have quickly carved out a distinct identity rooted in the genre’s formative years. Drawing inspiration from legendary acts such as Nihilist, Master and Repulsion, the band delivers death metal that remains faithful to the old-school spirit while standing out through strong songwriting, memorable riffs and carefully constructed arrangements. Their songs strike immediately, combining directness and authenticity with a level of craftsmanship that rewards repeated listens.

    Following the release of their well-received three-song demo in 2023 through Dawnbreed Records, SAVAGE entered Germany’s Soundlodge Studios in May 2025 to record four new tracks under the guidance of renowned producer Jörg Uken. The resulting material captures the band’s raw and uncompromising approach while showcasing their ability to write memorable death metal without sacrificing intensity or atmosphere.

    The vinyl edition of Septic Tomb to be released by MilkCow Records, will include both the four new songs and the band’s 2023 demo, offering a complete snapshot of SAVAGE‘s work to date. The CD version will be released simultaneously through Dawnbreed Records and Necrolatry Records.

    The band is already looking beyond this release. At the end of December 2026, SAVAGE will return to Soundlodge Studios to record five additional tracks for a future release, further cementing their commitment to carrying the torch of classic death metal.

    To further mark this new chapter, SAVAGE will make their live debut at the legendary Kill-Town Death Fest in Copenhagen this September, bringing their raw and ugly sound to one of the most respected stages in the international death metal underground.

    Track-list:

    1. Nightmares
    2. S.A.V.A.G.E.
    3. Spectral Torment
    4. Septic Tomb
