ALL THAT REMAINS Behind Silence & Solitude - 2007 Metalcore CD
Format: CD Condition: New Year of Release: 2007 Cat. No.: 82979 Label: Sbme/Razor & Tie Entertainment
All That Remains combines the throat-tearing vocals and whiplash tempos of '90s-style grindcore with a dual-guitar melodicism and musicality that can be traced back to early Iron Maiden. Philip Labonte's Max Cavalera-esque vocal style renders most of the words unintelligible, but a scan of the lyric sheet reveals not the usual quasi-satanic death metal stuff, but surprisingly heartfelt meditations on fate, longing, and lost dreams.
This, along with the sensuous cover art (not to mention the band's name), lends a sort of gothic aura to the proceedings -- which in turn helps to distinguish All That Remains from its gore-obsessed peers.
