August Burns Red is back with the announcement of new album Phantom Anthem, the follow-up to 2015's Found In Far Away Places that took the band to new heights and earned them a Grammy nomination. The Lancaster, PA five-piece teamed up with Sirius XM Liquid Metal to premiere new track "Invisible Enemy" and have released the imaginative new music video, available for streaming below. Phantom Anthem, out on October 6th, is available for pre-order at this location.

Working with director Samuel Halleen, the band was turned into 3D marionette versions of themselves, with no details spared, even including a scene of one of their most iconic videos for "Meddler". To the clothes they wear on stage, to the small details in their personal instruments, this video truly captures the energy of August Burns Red's commanding presence and even includes some of the band's top fans in the video.

Phantom Anthem tracklisting:

“King Of Sorrow”
“Hero Of The Half Truth”
“The Frost”
“Lifeline”
“Invisible Enemy”
“Quake”
“Coordinates”
“Generations”
“Float”
“Dangerous”
“Carbon Copy”
