Remaining true to its core sound while progressing naturally with each record, AUGUST BURNS RED has built up one of the most admirable catalogs in contemporary metalcore. With Phantom Anthem, their seventh full-length, they have preserved this ethos, showcasing a sound that is equal parts melody and muscle, shot through with a ton of emotion and bolstered by lyrics that avoid clichés. We caught up with guitarist JB Brubaker to talk about the new record, the progression of the band, and why you won’t hear August Burns Red selling out any time soon.
