Off the song August Burns Red’s lead guitarist JB Brubaker comments: “This year, we decided to take a crack at the legendary Mariah Carey song All I Want For Christmas Is You. This turned out to be one of the most fun holidays songs we’ve ever done, and a real head spinner for me on the guitar leads. I’m proud of how it came out and think it will be a staple for people looking for a little more metal in their holiday playlists.”

The band also reveals the details of their annual Christmas Burns Red show. This year’s event is going online, due to the pandemic. During the livestream event, August Burns Red will be playing songs from their 2020-released album Guardians live for the first time. It will also feature the biggest and most festive Christmas Burns Red stage setup ever. There will be a brand new line of merch, a VIP option, and limited edition items. The more, the merrier!

“Doing an annual holiday show has been a long-standing tradition for us. This will be our 15th consecutive year, and we didn’t want to let COVID-19 end the streak. While we are bummed we can’t play for everyone in person, we are doing everything we can to make sure that this year’s Christmas Burns Red is bigger and better than ever. This will be our first time playing a bunch of new songs off of Guardians, and we are putting the finishing touches on our biggest stage production to date. We can’t wait to play for you again!” adds JB Brubaker.

The Christmas Burns Red 2020 livestream event will take place on Saturday, December 12th at 8pm EST/5pm PST. Tickets and merch bundles are available here.
