The first single All That Remains has ever released to rock radio goes for adds September 15. For those who don't know, Phil Labonte of of ATR is the former lead singer of metal band Shadows Fall. ATR's last album did quite well as "This Calling" picked up a lot of metal specialty airplay and "Six" was featured in Guitar Hero 2. Their new album entitled Overcome comes out the next day on the 16th. "Two Weeks" is up on their myspace now. I kinda like the big metal hits off their last album a bit better, but this one is good too. I think it should do as well as Shadows Fall's "Redemption" did last year.

For those who don't know, Phil Labonte of of ATR is the former lead singer of metal band Shadows Fall. To be fair, though, he hasn't been their singer in a decade, and Shadows Fall didn't really start getting big until 2002 or arguably 2004, with the release of The War Within.. Hell, Adam D from Killswitch played drums on SF's demo. I have a mild interest in All That Remains since seeing their videos on Headbanger's Ball back in '04. Though all that amounts to is a recently downloaded copy of This Darkened Heart on my hard drive and watching their sets every time they come through on a tour I was attending/working anyway. |

This song actually kicks a little metal ass. Melodic , hard and fast....with intelligible lyrics, that's alright in my books.

Considering how successful this song has been, this thread hasn't been getting very much love.

I liked this when radio should've been playing it -- late fall. This song and "37 Stitches" (also recently entered the top 10) just seem so old to me. Active rock needs to start catching on to good songs a little faster. I'm patiently waiting for the second single.

This is the second single. First single was "Chiron", which didn't even chart.

^ I didn't know that. Hopefully it will be re-released as the third single.

Wasn't "Chiron" a metal only single? In that case "All Hope Is Gone" is Slipknot's lead single, which I don't think I would argue is the case. "Chiron" definitely was never pushed to rock radio.

Neither has anything from their three previous albums. The truth is that a single doesn't necessarily have to mean something that was pushed to rock radio. There was a video for "Chiron" and it's officially designated as the first single. "Two Weeks" I guess you could say is the first rock radio single, but I'm also pretty sure it will probably be the last. I'm amazed this band even got a single to chart that high. |

I think Killswitch sorta paved the way for Metalcore bands to have big hits on Active Rock if they release something remotely melodic. This band is also popular enough certainly.
