WOA 25: August Burns Red

First the ground shakes, then comes the impact. No countdown, no warm-up: August Burns Red only know the direct route forward. For almost 20 years, they have stood for metalcore that not only destroys but also builds up: technically sharp, emotionally deep and, live, a collective state of emergency. Every song is like a liberating blow full of angry energy, carried by hope and solidarity. At Wacken 2025, they will ignite exactly what they do best: a show between chaos and clarity, with the force of an earthquake and the precision of a scalpel cut.
