ALL THAT REMAINS: New Audio Interview With PHIL LABONTE Posted Online

September 13, 2008

Headbanger's Blog recently talked to ALL THAT REMAINS lead singer Phil Labonte about the eclectic songwriting on the band's new album "Overcome", the emphasis on melody and the band's experience working with producer Jason Suecof. In the process, Labonte addressed the current economic climate, the basic code of morality mankind seems to have forgotten and the misconception that ALL THAT REMAINS is a Christian metal band. You can stream the interview below.

ALL THAT REMAINS recently posted another new song, "Two Weeks", on its MySpace page. "This is the first time I've done a song that has singing from beginning to end," frontman Phil Labonte said. "It was something I had wanted to do for some time but ATR isn't gonna put out something half-assed and most of you guys know I'm always growing as a vocalist and we’re always growing and changing as a metal band. This feels right and it's not the same 'here's our all singing ballad' kind of thing; it's still metal as hell!"

"Two Weeks" comes off ALL THAT REMAINS' new album, "Overcome", which is scheduled to hit stores September 16 through Prosthetic Records. A video for the song will be filmed soon. In the meantime, the band's current clip for "Chiron", another track off "Overcome", will debut on MTV2's "Headbanger's Ball" September 20.

Having recently wrapped up a stint on the Vans Warped Tour, ALL THAT REMAINS just kicked off a co-headlining tour with TRIVIUM which will continue through mid-October before the band jumps aboard a full North American tour as direct support to IN FLAMES alongside GOJIRA and 36 CRAZYFISTS.
