  • TECHNO guys dissliked this song

  • 3:26 - 3:45 best part.

  • @H34DSHOT619 3:10 - 3:50 i reakon are the best bits but yeah, totally agree man!

  • two people need to get better ears if they dont like this band:):)

  • @kaitexxloveisblindxx I think two people are sad they're deaf and cannot hear the amazement of this song. =(

  • yea but christian bands are fucking lame

  • DONT FEED THE TROLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • Does it matter if they are classified as a christian band? They are an amazing band and have some of the best sounds out there. Why argue about religion, when you can argue about who they sound like? I miss that, but lately all it is about is Justin Beiber and Christian music blah blah. Get over it. Let them sing about whatever they want and enjoy it.

  • lol matt always uses that drum pattern at 1:23

  • Being an atheist, I can honestly say that I believe this band is one of the great things religious influence has brought to this world. Without their faith, they would not have been inspired to create this brilliant song.

  • gonne leave right now to see them ^^

    HELLYEAAH

  • Chik-fil-a is a mormon owned buisness, that doesnt make it mormon chicken. ABR is a metal band who believes in christ, enough said.

  • @Dancedad7 uhmm, i've met the owner. He is a christian owner, not Mormon. Not that a title is great at all, we should be apprentices of Christ but, yeah.

  • Comment removed

  • rock'd my face off.. thx (2:52)

  • well it wouldn't make sense if august burns red WASN'T a christian band. seeing as they have the most positive lyrics of any metal band ever, and just look at the song Redemption. "...Lord show me the way..." those are the most obvious lyrics ever.

  • 5.Oktober in München

    Jeahh ;)

  • this song almost made me cry o.o like seriously I got teary eyes the lyrics are, so true! God bless * headbangs *

  • Just because you believe in God and write songs does NOT mean you are a "Christian band." STFU, you people don't know anything about religion and how its set values are and you TRY to apply them to shit you know little about. Fuck off.

  • The whole argument concerning Christian band or not is completely missing the point. Yes, they are Christian. Yes, they are a band...therefore a Christian band. HOWEVER, the point they make by saying they are "not a Christian band" is because they think that "Christian" music should not be a genre at all, nor should "Christian" be a type of band. They believe that music and lyrics speak truth for themselves, especially since it ultimately depends on what the audience gleans from it.

  • August Burns red has made me think about the metal that has been around for a few years and I just can't find another band that has the same musicality or originality as them. They have so many riffs and such creative stops here and there, as well as a very unique sounding screamer... I just can't see anyone coming close to them. And what is all this hate on Christians and metal without a negative image? Does all metal have to be negative? I mean that's just ridiculous!

  • @AmeniphusX dude as i lay dying will do it for you. there new cd is just amazing. I started out with them, and am kind of transfering over to abr. Anyways try the blinding of false light by as i lay dying, it will rock your sox!!!

  • wow , fucking amazing O_O

  • ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha classic, a normal douche!!!!!! funniest shit

  • There just a christian band, which means there probably straight edge and don't sing about sex and drugs and shit, they sing about life or just anything happy. they just make it into screamo so that us kids or any screaming music fans listen to it. just cause your a christian doesn't mean you sit there and talk about god and all that shit...they just don't cuss or sing about unchristain stuff..

  • i get so tired of ppl saying just because there all christians and sing about christian things doesnt make them a christian band because the music is to heavy umm i hate christians because of there fake ass ways and thinking just because it sounds evil doesnt mean it is and yet im defending them shit if all the members r christian and there singing christian music just screamo or metal ur still a fucking christian band damn it

  • there is no such thing as christian metal....it is metal with christian lyrics

  • @TheReclamation14 ur dumb ass fuck there many bands that r christian metal when u go to book stores they will have christain metal areas and christian screamo its fucking even on the CD..... you get metal music + christian lyrics = christian metal u dont have to sound all nice like to be christian music

  • Hey we're Destriers Gait! Check out "Those That Demand Surrender" off our new album on youtube! Let us know what you think!

  • This is my fave band of all time (x I love these guys xDD

  • Nice to hear the guitarist finally going to work and soing some cool solos.

  • August Burns Red is BEAST

  • 2:41 - 3:54

  • i have seen these guys twice and they are by far one the thee most amazing bands i've had the honor of not only seeing perfrorm by also meeting!

  • Seen these live! ;D. If you like you should check out Adept or Alexisonfire. BEAST

  • ja das wird es....

    Ich seh sie schon am Donnerstag in der Wiener Arena!!!! woohoo! -das wird sooooo abgehn!!!

  • Geile Mukke...Freitag im Zapata in Stuttgart mit Lamb of God, Job for a Cowboy und Between the Buried and me!! ...das wird EPISCH!!! YES!

  • they're awesome !

  • Richtig Geil !!!!!

  • people who don't like metal are simply pussies and we shouldn't give a fuck.

  • @AltAirPilot517 truth

  • I wonder why I have so many thumbs down - there's at least four people here who look up music they don't like on youtube... what a bunch of losers

  • Havent found a riff like in the song "Truth of a liar", but this CD is also amazing!

  • as i lay dying?

  • my dad doesnt let me lisen 2 metal but i dont giv a fuck he can kiss my ass

  • why wouldnt he? this is christian

  • @futurerev21 he thinks i just say that as an excuse, and once i got him 2 believe me but he still denied it

  • print out the lyrics and hand them to him and ask him to just read the lyrics, dont tell him who they're from or anything until after he comments on the lyrics

  • @independent1971 i tried that once and then he just denied it more

  • yes they are and you can also tell by the lyrics if you look them up

  • insane......my new fave band :) :D

  • @COWZ842 good taste u got then :P check their older stuff, its even more insane

  • @COWZ842 same here bro. and im used to listening to Frank Zappa and Korn and shit. wtf. hahaha.

  • are they playin quadruplets at around 1:04? if so.... sweeeeeeet

  • yupp, they are =D

  • They rule, simple..

    They rule all our asses! xD

    - And they know it o.O

  • why do you guys argue about that ..there a great band there christian and some of there songs have bible verses ..you dont have to sound like every other christian band to be a christian band

  • hey who gives a shit what genre they are?if its good music (like abr) then enjoy!

    ABR ROCKS!!!

  • Christian metalcore sounds kinda like a made up genre to me.

  • haha agreed thre really isnt much difference between that n metalcore

  • @jamienjosharenotcool the main difference between Christian metalcore n metalcore is the message and image as a band they display and represent.

  • From Europe- Bring Me the Horizon

    From Australia- Parkway Drive

    From America- August Burns Red

    these are my fav bands of all time

  • NO Europe= Asking Alexandria

  • I love you then. Those are all great bands. :]

  • is there anything better than good ol pure american , Christian metalcore?? i think not

  • people please..... ABR says thier christian but they say their not really a christian band. theres a diffrenece. And who cares anyways THEY KICK ASS!!!

  • Im sorry but I still dis agree, Not that this matters at all, but I went to this thing called Alive '09 its an Ohio christian concert. All Christian bands go there.. and AILD was there.. as soon as they got on stage them and norma jean both told their story of how they are not christian bands, but go to concerts because they believe in god, so they attend. I also saw ABR and Underoath this year and I saw ABR with AILD last year. They claimed to believe in god but not be a christian band twice.

  • Okay show me some clip or something when they're saying that they not are Christian!!

  • I didn't say they are not christian, I said they are not a christian band.. see look at it this way.. your being a douche right now, and I'm guessing you believe in god, does that make you a christian douche, no.. it just makes you a normal douche. get it now. I'm saying they are not classified as a christian band.. that's my argument. Not that they are not christian. I already stated they believe and are christian, but it doesn't classify them as christian metal or anything like that.

  • but hah, okay.. they are christian.. and they are a band.. doesn't that make them to a christian band?.. but what ever! they ROCK! =D haha

  • yeah im done with this 2 :P Im just going off what they said in concert.. I guess w/e anyone wants to call them they can call them.. Im going to see them in cleveland again tomorrow :) YAY

  • Oh that's awesome!.. I have to wait to March for them to come to Swe! :S

  • Atleast you get to see them :) they are so bad ass

  • @strandland look up their song redemption,its definetly a christian song

  • @strandland

    No it doesn't .... They would only be a christian band if through their lyrics they tried to share christian messages with us and that's definetely not the case! But they are optimists !

  • @strandland david draiman is wiccan but Disturbed isnt a wiccan band. its teh message they send that labels them as what kind they are

  • @strandland Noo, As I Lay Dying are Christians but aren't a Christian band

  • @strandland. if someone in a band is a homosexual does that make the band a "gay pride band". no

  • @gramual no but if the whole band proclaims in their lyrics and live that "we are gay, and we're happy bout it!!" and then plays a harmonic rainbow-song i think i should call them a gay band ;) (I have nothing against homosexuals)

  • they are a christian metalcore band.

  • @NomedX If there not a christian band then explain the song Redemption

  • @NomedX umm, do you have any idea what they are singing about? If not look at the tags of this video. They may seem random but they aren't research the connections listen to song other songs by August Burns Red. If you don't know where to start look at Born of Osiris-Now Arise, find the meaning in the lyrics (the music video has obvious symbolism if you do your research right). This topic isn't about Christianity directly but some believe has a LOT to do with it.

  • @NomedX Like, it's up to you whether or not you believe what you find. But it IS what a LOT of these bands are talking about.

  • @NomedX but even they're not a "christian band" they still do covers of christian songs such as carol of the bells, o come o come emmanuel, and redemption.... but to clear this up....in an interview the band mentioned they are christians but they do not consider themselves a christian band becuz they believe christianity is a religion not a genre of music.....does that help any?

  • @NomedX lol they are classified under christian alternitive and metal so dont talk if you dont know what your talking about

  • @NomedX

    The lyrics are in the info, if you can honestly tell me thats not christiancore then idk what it is.

  • @wiiwouldntliketoplay It's not, listen to For Today - Devastator, that's some christiancore that'll melt your brain from the overly christian lyrics.

  • @NomedX ABR is classified as a christian band because Solid State Records, theyre record company, only signs christian bands

  • @NomedX look up redemption that is singing abot god

  • @NomedX This comment may be one year late, but dude... they are definatley a Christian metal band. They are classified as Christian Metal, and all of their members are profound Christians. Not to mention the fact that they have numeorus obvious Christian songs that have praise and worship lyrics included.

  • @drummer4life2014 Yup..!!!! Redemption is one example for a Christian Metal Band..

  • @NomedX Come on man!! They are classified as a pure Christian Metal band!!!

  • @RINSE20xx They'd said in interviews that even tho their members are christian, they don't refer to themselves as a christian band.

  • @fallenb0w Sorry if you are an aethist.. :) But I have to dis-agree.. !!

  • @RINSE20xx actually the members of a band can be christian..but that doesn't mean the music is…like the devil wears prada,they are christian,but their album zombie is not christian…

  • @strandland they arent a christian band... meaning if you look up august burns red genre it wont say christian metal. itll say metal core.

    the actual members of the band believe in the christian faith and even their lyrics portray it. but the genre is not christian metal.

  • dudei just saw augest in fort lauderdale they said they were a christian band and do there music for god. and underoath dude shut up holy as it gets there always speaking testimonies and preaching just stop hating yo

  • Okay this is 100% the truth, all those bands have spoken About Christ, Etc, BUT they say Christian is A religion not a Music Genre,

  • they said they are christians but not nececarly a christian oriented band just meaning that most thier songs are not directed tward thier belifes

  • nececarly wtf is that?

  • i cant spell

  • @NomedX ABR first album has so many Christian lyrics tho dude. I refuse to believe that.

  • @NomedX yea, because AILD has speeches during there concert about god and what he's done, for you to claim that you saw them say there not is just bullshit

  • @MartyrsReign

    tim never speaks to jam religious beliefs down our throats, he simply tells a story that means a lot to him as does each and everyone of the songs he sings

    their music is inspired by their personal beliefs but its been stated by every member in the band that they are not a christian band

    just devoted christians in a band

  • Just because they sing about god and love god doesn't mean they are christian, I have seen them live many times and Just like AILD they both say the same thing, they are not christian, they just believe in god and they write their feeling. But it doesn't mean they are christian metal. Not that this should matter at all because the point is they kick ass.

  • You say that they beleve in God! And they beleve in jesus Christ and write their lyrics about god and both AILD and ABR is christian bands!... Check their interviews!.. And lyrics!.. But yeah, they kick ass!! :P

  • best metalcore band I've  heard

  • okay, it sucks to get called Christian when u isint chrisiten -.-' NICE BAND!!!!!!!!!

  • So... You're saying that they're not Christian and don't want to be called Christian and that is why they're still writing Christian lyrics and lyrics with bible verses and still always talks about Jesus! Hah

    They ARE Christian!

  • i say my name is Christian and im not Christian -.-'

    AND I KNOW THEY ARE CHRISTIAN!!

  • Haha sorry misunderstood you haha lol! I've been so attacked this week that they're not Christian haha! Lol

  • why?! its just cool that they are christian ! i dont se the point in getting so defencif about it ! and i can't se why ppl care sooo much about the band if it IS christian, i meen, its JUST ROCK,n,ROLL!!!!! it's that that counts! horns up dude \ m/

  • In an interview J.B. said that they are not a christian metal band just most of them are religious though.... even in the lyrics book of their albums on the page were they thank people it says Jesus Christ....... so that are not a "christian metal band but most of them are religious.

  • Send me that link!

  • ooohhh, dident know that xD

  • i like how much energy this music gives me

  • i dont like how they are turning out im more into thrill seekers from them then this album imo

  • im a man of no faith but i dont look down upon those who have there own and this is one amazing album

  • Same here man amasing music and powerful lryics reguardless of what your faith is haha

  • same thing dude oh my wow amazing band!!!!

  • really inspiring lyrics for me, as a hardcore christian!!

  • Yes, very powerful lyrics.

  • yap, same here! God Bless! :D

  • wow the words are so powerfull really connects with me so inspiering i hope one day ill have the honur of play the same stage as this godsent band thatnk you lord for abr!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • pffft. dont make me laugh. i love em but seriously....

  • What, you mean you love them but you aren't like... hardcore christian like alot of people here? That's exactly how I am, I'm atheist, but this is still a great band.

  • you just dont understand man its all good

  • Messengers and Constellations for me.

  • sorri dont like it

  • ABR is Sex for the ears, I swear I had a Joygasm right then and there

  • Comment removed

  • I did

  • the beginning of this song sounds alot like "nothing left" by as i lay dying

    anyone else notice that?

  • not at all

  • hmm maybe its just me lol, anyway ABR's new CD is beastly as hell either way

  • yeah, im seeing them october 13 in montreal club soda

  • nice nice, i saw them a couple months ago..theyre amazing live dude, lol get ready for a running pit

  • ill go in the pit for only 2-3 songs

    barbarian, composure, chasing the dragon

    mostly

  • hmm if i remember right i think they got the pit going for back burner...but that show ended early cause some guy stage dived into the crowd and no one caught him >.>

  • whoa

  • God is alive and well!!!!!!!!

  • nothing will ever be better than messengers ... ever!

  • Dont excuse yourself from life today on the pretense of your past. Great line. I love August Burns Red. They make me happy. :D

  • ABR's new CD gives me goosebumps.

    ABR at its finest.

  • I wonder what denomination of Christianity they belong to. Probably the Anglican Church of metalcore. Seriously though-- I own the first two CDs and this one beats them.

  • i still think thrill seeker was theyre best

  • so far i prefer messanger and the chinese hat abuse

  • messengers def. lol just my opinion.

  • from what ive heard so far very good album abr is still fucking awesome andi ntense love them

  • I am just sad I am not seeing these guys today in SD.

    with Shikari, BTF, and some other peeps.

  • 0: 54.

    SHHHYYYT!!!!!!!!

    :O

    Everybody jab somebody in the teeth!

  • HAHAHA that made me lol

  • This song fucking blows my mind it is soo good...gonna go buy this album asap its that good

  • 2:52!!!!!!!!! makes me wanna punch someone! =D

  • one of the best ABR song.

  • you have to give every song time to grow on you. you can't just evaluate it. im sure you did that with messengers as well.

    so far lyrically they have surpassed messengers.

  • exactly

  • dude, so far i think they have some songs on this cd that are better than any of the songs on messengers, like mariana's trench and ocean of apathy. but w/e i guess its ur opinion

  • thanks for uploading thease man, its fuckin sick =)

  • i really thought prada was gonna get my attention with roots, but august burns red is still the fucking best!!!!

    cant wait for the album!

  • really? i like WRAAB so much more than constellations. the music, the lyrics, everything. I have a complaint about each album though. in WRAAB there is too much straight 16th note chugging, and in constellations Greiner uses that 1+a2+a..... punk beat way too often.

  • you gotta admit roots is better than plagues (tdwp's previous album)

    On topic: This album is pretty good, so was messenger, I don't think we can compare those 2 records has they are very different. Constellations: Got a certain "poppy" sound to it but has some freaking good parts in it. I think that with this CD, ABR proves once agaIn they have their place in the metal/hardcore scene.

    Messengers: This cd got me into ABR and Christian metal bands (yes abr's christian) From what I have heard...

  • (cont.) Messengers was the album that was a big surprise among metal fans.

    With that said and as I said before, even if messengers and constellations are from the same band. we cannot compare them, messengers was a BIG step foward from their previous album and constellations proves that this band still can evolve musically and lyrically.
