August Burns Red Guardians Sessions this Friday, the 16th . The work features six tracks in total, including B-sides, covers, and reimagined versions. It includes some of their most recent releases, such as a metal version of the theme song from the HBO Westworld , and a cover of the classic "Chop Suey!" by System of a Down.
Speaking about the new project, guitarist JB Brubaker explained that it arose mainly because of the tracks “Standing In The Storm” and “Icarus,” which were left out of the 2020 album Guardians. “When all tours were canceled in March 2020, we started working on some covers and reimagined versions of some songs from Guardians ,” he reported. “These songs were recorded in the summer of 2020. We wanted to be productive during this downtime and work on a project that would be fun for us and our fans,” the musician added.
Guardians Sessions is now available on streaming platforms and can be listened to in the player below, via Spotify.
