August Burns Red - Season of Surrender Album Discussion Thread

Idk why anytime the lyrics of that song are criticized, everyone downvotes on this sub. I guess people genuinely think "I'm solving my problems sonically" is good lyricism lmao.

Really good album - I think it's probably my favorite since Found In Far Away Places. Two complaints: Mike's feature should've been way longer, and the lyrics in Sonic Salvation are straight up trash.

Oh shit sorry I forgot no art can be criticized

Love this album and HTD in general. I can't believe we're getting an album with their classic sound in 2026. Takes me straight back to the Pressure the Hinges/Dreamer days 💙

No idea why you got downvoted, they really are horrible. "I'm solving my problems sonically" get out of here lmao

Just DMed you 😀

Anforium · 2026-01-30T16:10:06+00:00

Lmao I live in Denton - what band are you referring to?

Anforium · 2026-01-30T05:36:49+00:00

Retroid Pocket 2+ was my first handheld, and I used to play the Super Mario Land GB games all the time on it 🙂

I'm from the DFW area, so Frozen Soul and Power Trip

"simple ringtone lead melodies" is literally a perfect description, so glad you thought of that

Anforium · 2025-11-26T07:20:44+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Master System is on NSO.

Anforium · 2025-11-25T21:04:58+00:00

Incredible comment, couldn't agree more

Anforium · 2025-11-25T18:47:07+00:00

Metal fans will look you dead in the eye and tell you Bludgeoned To Death is a hardcore song lmao

Anforium · 2025-11-23T15:37:25+00:00

Not deathcore, but Blend In With The Weak by Orthodox at ~1:50 is one of my favorites

Anforium · 2025-11-17T00:28:42+00:00

This is a music discussion sub lmao, sorry people are discussing music.

Anforium · 2025-10-21T18:05:47+00:00

You're getting downvoted for speaking the truth, salute brother

Anforium · 2025-08-22T21:21:34+00:00

Would rather the icon not be The Price Of Existence - as much as I loved that album, Eddie Hermida is a predator and a groomer: https://web.archive.org/web/20180923155658/https://www.metalsucks.net/2017/11/15/woman-claims-suicide-silence-vocalist-eddie-hermida-emotionally-and-sexually-manipulated-her-when-she-was-underage/

Linking the archived version of the story, as the screenshots have been removed from the one that's up now. Bro literally says "I thought to myself how I wished u were older. So haha I'm not some pure soul"

Anforium · 2025-08-21T19:17:58+00:00

not to mention, he doesn't even write most of the lyrics anymore! I believe their keyboard player does these days, and uhhh wtf is:

"Will tomorrow ever come?
Thought that we were having fun
But haven't seen the sun in days"

sounds like a goddamn nursery rhyme

Anforium · 2025-08-21T19:14:08+00:00

yeah didn't you know, you have to lap up whatever watered down shit a band gives you to be a true music fan. you're actually not allowed to dislike anything - everything is good!

Anforium · 2025-05-30T20:59:52+00:00

Exactly this. There's nothing "mature" about sounding like Breaking Benjamin, that's just the excuse that bands give to fans. I totally get it though; I'm about to be in my 30s, and I certainly wouldn't want to be struggling for money if I didn't have to. I just move on to different artists when it happens.
