AUGUST BURNS RED: 'Meddler' Clip, New European Tour Video Blog Available - July 28, 2009
"Meddler", the new video from the Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based Christian metalcore quintet AUGUST BURNS RED, can be viewed below. Also available is the band's latest European tour video blog.

"Constellations", the third full-length album from AUGUST BURNS RED, debuted at an impressive No. 24 on The Billboard 200. Released on July 14, the LP also landed at No. 8 on Current Rock Albums, No. 2 on Top Hard Music Albums (less than 300 units behind NICKLEBACK!) and No. 2 on the Christian Market chart.

With sales of 20,401 copies in its first week, "Constellations" more than doubled the first-week numbers of its predecessor, 2007's "Messengers", which debuted in The Billboard 200 at No. 81 and went on to sell well over 80,000 copies.

"Constellations" also hit the No. 1 New Music Release spot iTunes the day it was released, and entered the Top 100 at No. 6, nestled between a MICHAEL JACKSON best-of album and the movie soundtrack for a certain wizard named Harry. "We thought we set the bar pretty high for this release, but we never envisioned 'Constellations' coming out of the gates the way it has," said guitarist JB Brubaker. "It's so awesome to have such supportive and enthusiastic listeners!"

The visual themes for "Constellations" echo the band's career-long fascination with spirituality and destiny.

"'Constellations' is about directing our attention towards heaven, trusting that God will direct our steps, regardless of our circumstance," said drummer Matt Greiner. "The kites in the artwork represent our own intelligence and innovation. So often we trust our own abilities to guide us through life, but the 'wind' of life will send our kites soaring every which way."

AUGUST BURNS RED is currently on a U.S. headlining tour with support acts BLESSTHEFALL, ENTER SHIKARI (July 10-27), ALL SHALL PERISH (July 28-August 8) and IWRESTLEDABEARONCE. The tour, which thus far has included sold-out shows from Baltimore's Recher Theatre to Chicago's House of Blues, extends through August 8, and due to fan demand includes two-night stands at Pomona, California's Glasshouse and Lancaster, Pennsylvania's Chameleon Club. ABR then heads to Australia for a two-week run with native sons PARKWAY DRIVE and then back to Europe for an extended run through mid-November.

This song is nothing short of amazing! And the video is sick! I love how they're found a visual image that's in every video. This video is really similar to the Composure video and they are both amazing! And man, this song is truly breath takingly awesome!! Love it!

And Parkway Drive too. I wish they would tour the states together too. Both bands latest cd's kicked ass.

I seem to be the only person who thinks this, but I was really dissapointed with this cd. I was hoping they'd progress from their last album (which is amazing), but it sounds like the same exact stuff with a couple okay guitar solos tacked on.
