Constellations is the third studio album by August Burns Red.
Background
The album was released on July 14, 2009 through Solid State Records.[12]
The song "Marianas Trench" is featured in the rhythm game, Rock Band 2, via the Rock Band Network.[citation needed]
Singles
On the band's MySpace page, they released four singles from the album, "Thirty and Seven" and "Existence," with "Thirty and Seven" available for download on the iTunes Store.[citation needed] "Ocean of Apathy", the third track from the then-upcoming album, was released on Monday June 29, 2009.[citation needed] "Meddler" was released on July 6, 2009 and was shown on the band's Myspace.[citation needed] On July 7, 2009, the band posted the entire album on their Myspace page.[citation needed] They then would sell the album days ahead of the release at the beginning of their tour with Enter Shikari, Iwrestledabearonce and Blessthefall, starting with the Recher Theatre in Towson, Maryland on July 10, 2009.[citation needed]
Lyrical themes
 |
The song "Indonesia", which features guest vocals from Tommy Giles Rogers of Between the Buried and Me, was made as a tribute to David Clapper, a missionary who died in a plane crash in Indonesia. He lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the city in which August Burns Red began.
Commercial performance
The album was at No. 24 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 20,401 copies in its first week.[citation needed] The album also has a bonus 7-inch vinyl record, that contained an alternate version of "Indonesia" and a cover of the NOFX song, "Linoleum", as a special gift when pre-ordering through a select dealer.[citation needed] A second 7-inch vinyl, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, was released on November 10, 2009 by August Burns Red's former label, CI Records. The vinyl editions were limited to 1,000 colored discs, 400 of which were green, 400 of which were red, and 200 of which were split-colored red and green.[13]
Accolades
In 2010, Constellations was nominated for a Dove Award for Rock Album of the Year at the 41st GMA Dove Awards.[14]
