AUGUST BURNS RED, the metalcore giants from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, are currently storming across European stages as part of their ‘Death Below’ tour. They are accompanied by THROWN and DYING WISH.

The first performance of the evening features the relatively new band THROWN. This Swedish quartet surprises with robust and concise songs. With a song length that is reminiscent of the RAMONES. Their blend of metal core and hardcore sets the audience in first motion.

In the subsequent act, DYING WISH, things get even wilder. Led by Emma Boster on the mic, this group from Portland, Oregon, USA, pushes the boundaries. Despite vocals that were less convincing that evening due to a not optimized sound mixing, the band manages to impress, thanks in part to the songs from their current album, ‘Symptoms of Survival’.

When ABR (August Burns Red) takes the stage, the venue ignites. The quintet has the crowd in their grip from the very first beat, not releasing them until the last note fades away. Sound, lights (amplified by four light towers on stage), and stage action demonstrate why they are the headliners. The audience fully engages in circle pits, mosh pits, and the wall of death – every move initiated by Jake Luhrs on stage is gratefully received. It’s a grand and exceptional metal core spectacle, and their extensive experience in the business is evident.

It was a highly successful evening with an outstanding lineup!
