Review: All That Remains – The Fall Of Ideals (or) like totally awesome dude man

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.

    Thanks my man! According to the KSE DVD, ATR’s singer was a runner-up replacement for Jesse when he left the band.

    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.
