After posting a few Killswitch Engage songs a few weeks ago, my brother suggested that I check out western Massachusetts metalcore upstarts All That Remains. I’m glad I followed his advice. This one is for you Grubbs.

On their latest album The Fall Of Ideals ATR dishes out a healthy dose of pummeling metal that manages to also retain quite a bit of melody. Yes, they actually have great songs! Blending soaring metalcore that is somewhat reminiscent of KSE with fast European style black metal makes for a great listen. Heck, Adam D of KSE even produced the album. Highly recommended for any and all fans of metal and hardcore. In a genre where it is sometimes hard to tell bands apart ATR manages to shine high above the rest. The Fall Of Ideals is out now on Prosthetic Records.

1 Eric Grubbs - 845 days ago Thanks my man! According to the KSE DVD, ATR's singer was a runner-up replacement for Jesse when he left the band.

2 Kurt - 845 days ago Nice. Now check out the new Unearth album. Lots of breakdowns.

And the Onion AV section has a really nice write-up of Lolla. Give it a read, and maybe send them a link to yours.
