Their best album to date. Thrill Seekers was pretty cool, Messengers wasn't bad in short bursts but had far too many needless breakdowns and soon became gruelling to listen to and just downright boring. This new album is far more melodic, the songs are all well-structured and all the breakdowns have been fitted in perfectly. "Meddler" is an absolute beast of a tune.
Yea I think Constellations more thought out and produced better. I think they really grew as musicians, and tried to make the something that no one else out there in the whole metal scene could compare too.
My favorite band they have been since messengers came out back in 07 i think they beat everyone's expectations on this album. i fucking love it and i fucking love them. who ever sais august burns red sucks can get on their kneees right now and put MY dick in their throat. i will skull fuck you in the street
Anybody know an Australian release date? I assume it's probably just July 14th. It is probably going to hard to find here in Adelaide, but I will see you guys on the 20th August at Thebarton Theatre!
Waves thirst for our passing. Waves thirst for our passing. Prepare for the struggle. Prepare to engage. Our armor tight to the skin, this shield it bears His name. We are strapped to the teeth, but our swords are lodged tightly in our throats. We are going under.
those lyrics are psycho. it osunds like on the studio version of this song that he doubles his vocals over, and one of them sounds death-growliesh, i like it
I agree, he does mention currents, waves and being carried away a lot. I think Jake is trying to connect water or currents with constellations though. You know how currents pull you away and force you to move with them or be 'connected' with them? Constellations are the same, he may be explaining how so many people are 'connected' to things like fashion or a label that they move right along with it and don't even bother being themselves. I may be way off but I love analyzing things.
Oh ya, never looked at it that way. And if you're way off or not, it's all good. Music is like art, open to opinion. And I love to analyze stuff too haha so no worries.
I think the waves symbolize the whales in the ocean that kill the smaller fish. We need to be the waves. And the constellations are all the stars which are very........ hot. We need to be hot like stars and not cold like small fish.
I got the idea when I saw the little motion picture banner on their myspace. I saw the little stick figures holding onto a line connected to a star and they were tugging and I told myself 'What the heck are they doing?' Then I saw a few stick figures running with kites, which I think resemble people who are actually free-living, or people who live as themselves and not someone else who is stuck on trying to be something else, or stuck holding onto a star.
hey neal i agree with you. in an interview jake talks about how the stars represent heaven or something and how you'll never reach it so i guess u should fly kites bcuz u kno u cant make the experience heaven come any faster. i dont really kno but thats kinda the general idea of what he said. anyways i love the new abr and i love ur covers neal haha keep it up, pce
razzle it means, that what they had when where the direction has done could be directed to places to where we have been before at the time we made it a place to be.
