Metalcore leaders August Burns Red drop a classic Christmas song cover every year. This year they have have released a take on ‘What Child Is This?’ (Greensleeves)’ to brighten your holiday spirits.
Guitarist JB Brubaker commented:
“This song has a bit of a black metal flavor, but takes a turn in the middle. We always have fun writing and recording the holiday songs and we hope you like it too.”
The song will be available for purchase digitally tonight at 9pm PST / Midnight EST at AugustBurnsRed.com.
ABR will start off 217 with a 10-year anniversary tour of their acclaimed album, Messengers (2007). Direct support on the tour will come from Protest The Hero, In Hearts Wake, and ’68.
