August Burns Red is an American metalcore band from Manheim, Pennsylvania. Formed in 2003, the group began their first performances while a majority of the members were attending their senior year of high school, and soon began playing shows around Lancaster, before being signed to CI Records. Afterwards, they were signed to Solid State Records, and most recently to Fearless Records. Prominent features of their music include heavy breakdowns and odd-meter riffs as well as often lyrics covering topics such as depression, social tolerance, and grief at the death of a loved one. The group's latest album, Found in Far Away Places, was released on June 29, 2015. On December 7, 2015, "Identity," the second single from Found in Far Away Places, was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Metal Performance category.
History
Formation and Thrill Seeker (2003–2006)
August Burns Red was founded in March 2003 when all the members were attending high school. The original practice sessions of the band began in drummer, Matt Greiner's old egg house and basement on the Greiner family's farmland. After playing many local shows within Lancaster, they recorded their first EP, titled Looks Fragile After All with label CI Records in 2004.
Astoria is the fourth studio album recorded by Canadian rock band Marianas Trench. It was released on October 23, 2015 through 604 Records (in Canada) and Cherrytree Records and Interscope Records (internationally). The album represents the band's official return to the music scene after promotion of their previous album, Ever After (2011), ended in 2013 and was preceded by the retrospective EP, Something Old / Something New earlier in 2015.
Background
In 2011, Marianas Trench release their third studio album, Ever After, which produced five top-50 singles, including lead single "Haven't Had Enough", which became the group's highest charting single to date (since the creation of the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 in 2007) at number 9. After releasing the last single from that era, "By Now", in 2013, the group returned to the studio to record their next album. During the promotion for Ever After, lead singer and songwriter, Josh Ramsay, also achieved mainstream success as a songwriter and producer on fellow Canadian Carly Rae Jepsen's No. 1 hit "Call Me Maybe" (2012). This helped pave the way for the band signing an American record deal with Cherrytree Records and promoting to a broader audience.

Chaos brings order, yeah brings order
Who will you allow to lead you blindly until the end? Until the end?
You're like a little girl with a stupid crush. With a stupid crush.
Crush.
We all sing glory, we all sing.
We all sing glory, we all sing.
We all sing glory, we all sing.
We all choke ourselves with our own ignorance.
There is so much more to life than your stupid desires.
No, nothing is everything, and everything is something.
Confused? Troubled? Troubled?
Finding the meaning is looking through the vivid transparencies. The vivid transparencies.
Dance the night away because tomorrow we will look back and talk about good times now gone forever.
Trace lines around the image of your choice.
Dance until the end my friend.
Dance until the end my friend, and find joy in every living thing.
In every living thing, every living thing.
Wow.
Optimism is not a choice, it's a belief.
Optimism is not a choice, it's a belief.
Optimism is not a choice, it's a belief.
