August Burns Red shares cover of System Of A Down’s Chop Suey!
Metalcore stars August Burns Red have been playing System of a Down’s Chop Suey!, before taking the stage at their always-packed live shows for several years now. Today, the band has dropped its cover of the song.
August Burns Red have put their very own spin on the beloved ’00s track. The original video for Chop Suey! just crossed a BILLION views on YouTube, so there’s no time like the present for this cover to arrive.
“After years of playing Chop Suey! over the PA system right before we took the stage at our shows, we decided to take a crack at the song ourselves. This is truly one of the most legendary rock/metal songs of all time and it was so much fun to cover. I’m especially proud of our singer Jake and our bassist Dustin. We haven’t done much clean singing in our music and this song showcases our vocalists in a whole new way,” says band’s lead guitarist JB Brubaker.
