August Burns Red recently hit Louisville with a vengeance supported by ERRA, Silent Planet and Make Them Suffer.
18-Sep-2016: A metal-hungry crowd packed Louisville’s Mercury Ballroom on Sunday evening as August Burns Red was set play. During the band changeover, a huge ovation rose as the ABR backdrop was unfurled and the crowd energy reached a fever pitch.
Moments before the guys rolled onto the stage, chants of “ABR” filled the room. The band wasted no time capitalizing on the energy in the room launching into “Back Burner,” “Empire,” and “Meddler.”
Over the next 90 minutes. August Burns Red rolled thru a powerhouse set including “Provision,” “Fault Line,” “Identity” and an incredible rendition of “Everlasting Ending” that had the entire venue jumping. Closing their main set, August Burns Red catapulted into “Carpe Diem,” “Ghosts,” “Majoring in the Minors” with a little western break thrown for good measure.
Jacob took a minute to introduce the band saying that drummer Matt Greiner was on his honeymoon in Alaska but they were not going to cancel any shows so they were honored to have drummer Adam Gray from Texas in July filling in for his final show tonight. Introducing their final main set song, Jacob simply shouted “1. 2. 3. Jump,” as August Burns Red shot into a super hard and energetic version of “White Washed” as they closed their set as they began with high energy.
Before dropping into their two song encore set Jacob encouraged everyone to generate a wall to wall circle pit as August Burns Red rocketed into “The Eleventh Hour” before closing the evening with “Composure.”
