And when it comes to the much-maligned genre known as "metalcore," ATR has the formula down. Take the thundering melodies and crunching riffs of heavy metal, mix them with the throat-ripping screams and crushing breakdowns of hardcore, add in plenty of double-bass drumming and a few guitar solos, blend it all at mosh-inducing speed, and the result is music that will take up space in your brain for awhile. It also helps to have the right musicians, and ATR has that covered as well. Former guitar teacher Oli Hebert and his onetime student Mike Martin are a solid guitar tandem, and Hebert is capable of some blazing lead work. Bassist Jeanne Sagan is serviceable enough to at least avoid the "girl bass player" stereotype; drummer Shannon Larkin is all about speed and precision. But the real star of this show is ATR's talented frontman, Phil Labonte, an incredibly versatile vocalist who screams, shouts, growls and shrieks his way through all ten songs...oh yeah, he can actually sing, too. As a lyricist, Labonte does best when he sticks to optimistic themes of motivation and determination on songs like "Not Alone," "The Air That I Breathe" and "This Calling;" his tales of broken romance ("Six," "Whispers," "Empty Inside") veer into Bullet For My Valentine territory. If there's such a thing as a "prototype" for a metalcore band, All That Remains might be it. But that's not really a bad thing if the music gives the genre a good name. Editorial Reviews for The Fall Of Ideals Audio Cd      Album Description      The explosive metal quintet has come to be known for their heavy riffs, memorable hooks and rowdy live shows. Revolver Magazine recently dubbed them "the future of American metal".Of the band's new album, vocalist Phil Labonte said, "People have a certain idea of what this band is. When they hear the new stuff, they will notice a new approach integrated with our original style. The riffs sound familiar, but with the new layers of song dynamics, it's now a completely different animal. It's almost like a new way to look at an old friend."
