August Burns Red (ABR) is probably my favorite band of all time, and yesterday they announced that their album "Rescue and Restore" is being repressed for the first time in celebration of it's tenth birthday! So I thought I'd share my favorite song off the album. It's a song about losing someone you love, and something that most people can (unfortunately) relate to.

One of their slogans, as I referenced above, is angry music for happy people. Their singer started a mental health focused gym recently (your life gym), and as a band they recently organized and hosted "Heart Support" festival. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I hope some of you enjoy it! I'll post the lyrics in a separate comment if anyone cares to read them.

When the rest of the band comes back in after the quiet part in double time has been maybe my single favorite moment in music for the last ten years. It hits so hard.

Dude YES. For me personally, it's the transition in the end/outro, from the minor scale they played in the opening to the major. The entire tone of the song changes from sad and emotionally difficult, to hopeful and optimistic. R&R is not my favorite ABR album, probably not even top 3, but this is definitely one of the most underrated songs on the album, and easily a top 10 in their catalogue to me.
