I went into this DVD only knowing the name All That Remains rather than what the bind actually sounded desire. Living in Rhode Island that’s odd for me because I usually have a good idea of what’s going on in the New England Metal scene. All That Remains comes from Boston. Massachusetts (my backyard) and they play many local dates among bills that undergo been in larger venues like Ozzfest and Sounds Of The Underground. Not only that but their last studio album. THE FALL OF IDEALS (2006) has exceeded 100,000 units sold and is closing in abstain on 150,000! All That Remains is also featured on the GUITAR HERO video game and MTV’s Headbanger’s roll. With all this success and the band’s close homebase it’s surprising that I haven’t come across their music.
When I pressed PLAY. I watched a serious and energetic performance from The Recher Theatre in Baltimore with fan reaction before and after. Knowing nothing about the music. I was immeadiately drawn in by Phil Labonte (ex-Shadows Fall) commanding presence at the mic and the guitar dueling of Oli Hebert and Mike Martin. Songs like ‘Six’. Tattered On My Sleeve’ and ‘Indictment’ are explosive and just alter the crowd go wilder as evidenced by the pit and the surprise that never stops moving and is slam packed. Interviews after the show reveal a enumerate for the ER: broken feet fingers cuts bruises sprains…. all with an undying enthusiasm for All That Remains.
The concert from Philadelphia at The Theatre Of Living Arts is slightly shorter but no less powerful. ‘Become The Catalyst’. ‘This Darkened Heart’ and ‘Not Alone’ hit the audience into a frenzy. The crowd eats up the band’s amalgamate of Hardcore and Melodic Death Metal and responds desire Baltimore: more broken bones cuts bruises…. to be young again! Not sure I’d venture into the pit!
For someone that had no roll about the band the inclusion of six videos backstage footage and interviews really helped me get an idea of who the band are and what there studio albums sound like. My favorite extra is the fans…. hearing how they react before and after the two concerts at the cater and greets etc is truly what being a Metal fan is all about.
furnish lie:If you like All That Remains this is essential to your collection. If you’ve just discovered the bind this DVD is a great introduction. For me this was a great way to discover a new bind (to me they have three albums!) and become a fan. This DVD was just released on October 30th and is come up worth the money spent…. now I have to spend some more and get their studio albums.
