“Angry Music for Happy People”
August Burns Red (ABR) is probably my favorite band of all time, and yesterday they announced that their album “Rescue and Restore” is being repressed for the first time in celebration of it’s tenth birthday! So I thought I’d share my favorite song off the album. It’s a song about losing someone you love, and something that most people can (unfortunately) relate to.
One of their slogans, as I referenced above, is angry music for happy people. Their singer started a mental health focused gym recently (your life gym), and as a band they recently organized and hosted “Heart Support” festival. I know it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I hope some of you enjoy it! I’ll post the lyrics in a separate comment if anyone cares to read them.
I got to see Constellations live in its entirety and being able to watch the crowd literally turn into an ocean of violence during “Marianas Trench” will forever be a highlight for me going to a live metal show.
