Though some may regard the responsibility of bearing hope where there is none to be a burden, it is a weight that August Burns Red have always carried with grace. For almost twenty years the American metalcore band has crafted music brimming with light, a mission that began with firm Christian roots but has come to appeal to a much more universal audience. Eighth studio album “Guardians” is no exception to the band’s noble journey to bring a sliver of hope to souls struggling through darkness, following almost three years after 2017’s “Phantom Anthem.”
