Here's a song from one of my favorite metalcore bands, August Burns Red.
They are one of the more forward thinking bands in this genre and with every album they release, they manage to keep their sound fresh.
This song comes from their third album, Constellations, which happens to be their most coherent release to date.
This song kicks off with a slightly dirty guitar intro that kicks into full distortion backed by precise drumming.
The intro riffs contrasts completely with the verse riff, which has an odd meter.
The song devolves into a series of seemingly disconnected guitar riffs and lead lines that somehow work together in one piece.
This is a standard August Burns Red way of composing songs, and I like that it keeps the listener interested.
The breakdown is nice and melodic, not just single note chugging so typical of music from this genre.
I'd urge any metal fans to check this band out - most of their material is like this song in terms of its composition.
Marianas Trench
