NewNoiseMagazine offers some additional positive feedback , praised the newest album , stating " It 's true , classic metalcore , with sometimes lightning fast feeling guitar work underlying harsh vocals . There are not really any clean vocals on this release , but that 's not a drawback ... it does n't push the genre – other bands can do that – instead , it just perfects it . " August Burns Red received a Grammy nomination for their song " Invisible Enemy " under the " Best Metal Performance " category
