Pennsylvania metalcore veterans AUGUST BURNS RED have announced their 11th studio album Season of Surrender, set for release on June 5, 2026 via Fearless Records. Alongside the announcement, the band released a lyric video for lead single "The Nameless."
The record features a guest-heavy lineup: members of MAKE THEM SUFFER, POLARIS, and THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA all make appearances, pointing to a collaborative spirit that runs through the album. AUGUST BURNS RED have maintained a remarkably consistent level of quality through over two decades as one of metalcore's defining acts, balancing technical guitar work, powerful dynamics, and vocalist Jake Luhrs' commanding delivery.
Season of Surrender follows 2023's Leveler anniversary re-recording cycle and represents fresh studio material from the Lancaster, Pennsylvania veterans. Guitarist JB Brubaker hinted at a more atmospheric and expansive direction: "We wanted every song to feel like it earns its place — nothing by the numbers." Pre-orders are open now at fearlessrecords.com, with CD, vinyl, and limited bundle options available.
