Details: "ANTIFRAGILE" marks All That Remains' first full length release since 2018. All That Remains have built an unbreakable axis between pit-splitting metal and anthemic melodies. This signature balance has defined the platinum-certified band's output since day one. It's why the quintet- Philip Labonte [lead vocals], Jason Richardson [lead guitar], Mike Martin [rhythm guitar], Anthony Barone [drums], and Matt Deis [bass]-have notched multiple Top 10 Active Rock Radio hits, sold out shows worldwide, and generated over half-a-billion streams. For as far as they've come, they've never lost sight of the cold Massachusetts underground where the guys first cut their teeth, preserving the same spirit without compromise. They've weathered the changing tides of a fickle business, unspeakable tragedy, and all manner of conflict only to come out stronger than ever on the other side. This strength surges through their tenth full-length album and first independent offering. The album embodies everything All That Remains are at the highest level. "I think we've managed to forge our own identity independent of every other group," notes Phil. "From our scene, we were among a very few bands who didn't go on a long-term hiatus, stop playing, or find other jobs. All That Remains has been what I do for the last 20 years. The fact that we managed to dodge all of the trends and be ourselves is something I'm very proud of." By sticking to their guns, All That Remains have continued to thrive on their own terms as well. Among many accolades, signature hit "Two Weeks" received a platinum certification from the RIAA, while "What If I Was Nothing" and their cover of "The Thunder Rolls" by Garth Brooks each reached gold status. Meanwhile, 2008's Overcome went gold, and For We Are Many cracked the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. Not to mention, they have scored five Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart, landing four in the Top 5. During 2022, the group launched a successful sold-out anniversary tour in celebration of their seminal LP The Fall of Ideals-which Revolver hailed as "one of metalcore's most essential records" and Loudwire christened "a genre-defining album." However, they have also endured trials and tribulations that might've ended most bands. Following the death of original lead guitarist Oli Herbert, the band welcomed Jason Richardson to the fold. "We spent a long time trying to figure out what All That Remains looks like without Oli," admits Phil. "It was weird, and it's probably why it took so long to get started. We remodeled our studio too. Except for what we'd written in my mom's basement, everything we'd made with Oli was done in that studio. The dynamic was different. Mike has written a whole lot more on this record. At the same time, Jason has his own style and sound, and it's filtered through what we do." Ultimately, All That Remains are still standing strong. "I'm incredibly grateful to anyone who has listened to our music or come to a show," Phil leaves off. "We survived in a changing business and world. I'm hugely satisfied with the success we've seen, but there's so much more to come. If you were a fan before, I think you're going to be a fan of this record." - Rick Florino, December 2023
