All That Remains

All That Remains is an American metal core band which is currently signed to Prosthetic records. They formed in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States in 1998.

The band currently consists of 5 members- Jeanne Sagan (bass), Jason Costa (drums), Mike Martin (rhythm guitar), Oli Herbert (lead guitar) and Philip Labonte (Vocals).
They have released four studio albums and one live DVD. Their debut album being released on March 30, 2002 and titled "Behind Silence and Solitude". Their second album, "This Darkened Heart" was released on March 23, 2004.

After limited success with their first two albums they adopted a more melodic sound in the choruses with hard guitar riffs and brutal sounding lyrics in their July, 2006 album "The Fall of Ideals". Many critics call this their breakthrough album and I feel it is their best album and encourage any metal fans to give it a listen.

Building on the success of "The Fall of Ideals" the band recorded and released the album "Overcome" on September 16, 2008. This album was met with even better sales but harsher criticism due to a softer sound.

They released their concert DVD "All That Remains: Live" on October 30, 2007.

They have become a moderately successful metal band and have sold over 500,000 albums in North America alone. They are currently on their "Napalm and Noise" tour along with Story of the Year, Haste the Day, and The Devil Wears Prada. They have previously toured with such well known bands as: Divine Heresy, Light This City, Chimaira, God Forbid, Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Marilyn Manson, and Bullet for My Valentine.
