August Burns Red promised a new album this year, and now they're delivering. The band just released new song (and awesome animated music video) "Defender" off their coming record Guardians, due out April 3. Guitarist Brent Rambler said the song is all about having someone with you during the hard times.
"The song 'Defender' is about having that person who can come in and take some punches for you, and be in your corner during hard times. I am quite the comic book fan and I thought the lyrics could easily turn into an awesome animated short story — kind of like if the pages of a comic were to come to life. Luckily, everyone else agreed and we have this sick video to go along with the song."
August Burns Red will hit the road this March will Killswitch Engage and Light The Torch.
