Originally featured on August Burns Red’s 2013 LP, Rescue & Restore, “Creative Captivity” sees the band exploring their more melodic side, trading speed for groove yet never abandoning their pension for precision, especially with drummer Matt Greiner’s signature syncopation. Heaviness that might have otherwise been more easily translated through down-tuned riffs alone is instead realized through an evocative exploration of melancholic moods that routinely eclipses an edge of optimism, driven by Matt’s powerful percussion. Expanding the track’s pathos, Taylor Brandt and Christopher Lewis provide outstanding violin and trumpet performances, respectively, contrasting artistic expectations that further highlight Matt’s musical mastery through his understanding of the value of space: giving drums room to breathe makes his technical prowess that much more affective. Sweetwater Studios had the pleasure of hosting Matt for a drum playthrough of August Burns Red’s “Creative Captivity.” Turn it up and check it out!
