## Origins and early albums
The band took shape in Massachusetts in 1998. [Philip Labonte](https://www.edgepedia.org/philip-labonte), who had sung for the metal band [Shadows Fall](https://www.edgepedia.org/shadows-fall) until Brian Fair took his place, started All That Remains as a side project; after seeing the popularity the band gained, he made it his full-time commitment.[1](https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/all-that-remains) • [4](https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/all%20that%20remains) A demo appeared in 1999, and the band's first live album followed in 2007.[8](https://www.metal-archives.com/bands//1283)
The debut album, *Behind Silence and Solitude*, was released in March 2002 on Metal Blade; the review site DigitalMetal.com hailed the group at the time as "one of the premier metalcore acts this side of the Atlantic."[1](https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/all-that-remains) *This Darkened Heart* followed in 2004 on [Prosthetic Records](https://www.edgepedia.org/prosthetic-records).[5](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/all-that-remains-mn0000001498/biography)
## Breakthrough and commercial peak
**The Fall of Ideals.** Released in 2006 on Prosthetic and Razor & Tie, *The Fall of Ideals* is the album [Ticketmaster](https://www.edgepedia.org/ticketmaster) identifies as the band's breakthrough, the point from which All That Remains have been making their current brand of melodic heavy metal.[5](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/all-that-remains-mn0000001498/biography) • [6](https://www.ticketmaster.com/all-that-remains-tickets/artist/1087274?page=7) Alongside *For We Are Many* (2010) and *Madness* (2017), it is cited among the band's melodic metalcore benchmarks.[2](https://codamusic.me/artists/all-that-remains/)
**Overcome.** The 2008 album *Overcome* included the singles "Chiron" and "Two Weeks," both of which also appeared in the video game franchise *Rock Band*. Overcome reached number ten on the Billboard 200, and the group hit the road with [Hatebreed](https://www.edgepedia.org/hatebreed) and [Five Finger Death Punch](https://www.edgepedia.org/five-finger-death-punch) in support.[5](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/all-that-remains-mn0000001498/biography) A review captured on Metacritic noted that the band maintained the progression shown on *The Fall of Ideals*, further exploring what the reviewer called metal taboos like hooks and melody.[9](https://www.metacritic.com/music/overcome/all-that-remains)
**Later chart albums.** *A War You Cannot Win* (2012), the band's stylistically broad sixth album, reached number 13 on the [Billboard](https://www.edgepedia.org/billboard-magazine) chart, nearly matching its predecessor's performance.[2](https://codamusic.me/artists/all-that-remains/) *The Order of Things* arrived in 2015 and *Madness* on April 28, 2017, both on Razor & Tie.[5](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/all-that-remains-mn0000001498/biography) • [3](https://albumsinorder.com/all-that-remains-albums-in-order/) For *Madness*, vocalist Phil Labonte described a more vocal-driven approach in which he crafted melodies and sent them to guitarist Herbert for riff development.[3](https://albumsinorder.com/all-that-remains-albums-in-order/)
## Style and place in metalcore
Metalcore is a subgenre that takes influences from both thrash metal and punk while resembling neither, with a distinct musical syntax of its own.[10](https://salford-repository.worktribe.com/file/1329536/1/Michael%20Skeech%20-%20PhD%20Thesis%20%28Corrections%29.pdf) One widely popular sound within the field mixes [Gothenburg](https://www.edgepedia.org/gothenburg) melodic death metal, popularized by bands such as [At the Gates](https://www.edgepedia.org/at-the-gates) and [In Flames](https://www.edgepedia.org/in-flames), with modern hardcore, occasionally incorporating breakdowns, the slow, low-register, palm-muted sections adapted from hardcore into much metal.[11](https://philpapers.org/archive/NICTMS-2.pdf) • [12](https://mtosmt.org/issues/mto.22.28.1/mto.22.28.1.hannan.pdf) All That Remains works in this melodic branch of the genre: a 2006 review described the conundrum of "an American band that played melodic metalcore with clean vocals making their sound heavier and less melodic" on *The Fall of Ideals*.[13](https://www.slugmag.com/pdf/211-July-2006.pdf) Coda Music names *The Fall of Ideals*, *For We Are Many*, and *Madness* as the band's melodic metalcore benchmarks, and notes that the band has secured repeated active rock radio successes and multiple Billboard-charting albums.[2](https://codamusic.me/artists/all-that-remains/)
## Recent years
The band's ninth album, *Victim of the New Disease*, was released in 2018.[7](https://blabbermouth.net/news/all-that-remains-announces-spring-2026-u-s-tour-with-born-of-osiris-and-dead-eyes) Its successor, *Antifragile*, was announced in December 2024 for a January release and was preceded by four singles: "Divine" in May 2024, "Let You Go" in June 2024, "No Tomorrow" in August 2024, and "Forever Cold" in November 2024.[7](https://blabbermouth.net/news/all-that-remains-announces-spring-2026-u-s-tour-with-born-of-osiris-and-dead-eyes) "Divine," the lead single, was the studio debut for two then-new musicians in the band.[2](https://codamusic.me/artists/all-that-remains/) The official site lists music videos for "No Tomorrow," "Let You Go," "Divine," "The Thunder Rolls," "Everything's Wrong," and "Madness."[14](https://allthatremainsonline.com/)
The lineup has changed in recent years. Guitarist [Jason Richardson](https://www.edgepedia.org/jason-richardson), formerly of [Chelsea Grin](https://www.edgepedia.org/chelsea-grin), parted ways with the band in July 2025 and later spoke publicly about quitting.[15](https://www.lambgoat.com/music/All-That-Remains) Ken Susi, previously of Unearth and [As I Lay Dying](https://www.edgepedia.org/as-i-lay-dying), joined in January 2026, and in April 2026 fill-in guitarist Emil Werstler replaced Mike Martin on the band's current tour.[15](https://www.lambgoat.com/music/All-That-Remains) In October 2026 the band entered the studio to work on the follow-up to 2025's *Antifragile*.[15](https://www.lambgoat.com/music/All-That-Remains) • [17](https://allthatremainsonline.com/products/antifragile-lp-black-variant)
Touring has continued at festival scale: the band played the June 2026 Vans Warped Tour in Washington, DC, and the Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival in [Columbus, Ohio](https://www.edgepedia.org/columbus-ohio), and announced a spring 2026 U.S. headlining tour with [Born of Osiris](https://www.edgepedia.org/born-of-osiris) and Dead Eyes.[1](https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/all-that-remains) • [7](https://blabbermouth.net/news/all-that-remains-announces-spring-2026-u-s-tour-with-born-of-osiris-and-dead-eyes) Based on 22 concert reviews, the critics' consensus at LiveRate rates the band an enjoyable live performer with some notable strengths.[16](https://www.liverate.com/artists/all-that-remains)
