August Burns RedFearless Records have announced that they will be releasing a new six song EP from the Grammy-nominated August Burns Red on April 16th.

The EP, called Guardians Sessions features B-sides, covers, and reimagined tracks, which were recorded during the sessions for 2020’s full-length album Guardians and during the Covid-19 Lockdowns. Guitarist JB Brubaker explained that the EP began with the B-sides Standing in the Storm and Icarus:

“Those songs were recorded in September of 2019, when we were finishing up our album Guardians. Both tracks got cut from the record, as we had too much material and they were the black sheep of the group. When all touring was shut down in March of 2020, we began working on a couple of cover songs and re-imagined versions of some songs from Guardians. Those songs were recorded in the summer of 2020. We wanted to be productive with our downtime and work on a project that would be fun for both us and our fans.”
