Now, they share the video for Sonic Salvation, featuring Jamie Hails of Polaris.

With pit-stirring breakdowns, fist-in-the-air, “Hey! Hey! Hey!” singalong choruses, and chunky riffs, it’s a cathartic anthem that speaks directly and forthrightly to the frustrated and disaffected, and serves as the powerful connective tissue between the band and its fans. 

“Sonic Salvation was the first song I wrote for Season of Surrender,” says Brubaker. “I set out to write a song that created more space for Jake vocally and leaned a little more into our hardcore influences. I love how this song came out and Jamie’s guest vocal really takes it over the top for me.”

Luhrs says, “Sonic Salvation is about finding power and strength in music. The fact that music can bring us back to a memory, help us decompress from the outside world and how music is what has created our world that is the metal scene.”

The video also features fans singing and playing along to the song — a tip of the cap to ABR’s loyal and dedicated fanbase and the unifying nature of music in general.

Season of Surrender features additional guest appearances from The Devil Wears Prada’s Mike Hranica and Make Them Suffer.
ABR are currently on a co-headline run with The Amity Affliction in North America, and will return to Australia and New Zealand this September and October for a headline run, supported by Bloom and I Promised The World.
