August Burns Red have released a new video clip for the track ‘Identity’, from their album Found In Far Away Places (Fearless). You can see the clip at this link or below:
Director Drew Russ discusses the making of the clip in a comment:
“This video is a mixed media piece using custom designed illustrations combined with live action footage. All of the outlines were hand drawn (by Mike Cortada) custom for this video.

Having just wrapped up a main stage appearance all summer on on Warped Tour, the band will next be seen on a European tour with Europe / UK tour with Asking Alexandria, Memphis May Fire, and In Hearts Wake.
