ALL THAT REMAINS CONFIRMED FOR LOUD PARK 2007

Massachusetts’ ALL THAT REMAINS have officially been confirmed for Japan’s Loud Park 2007 festival. Appearing on the prestigious festival’s second day, ALL THAT REMAINS joins the bill alongside Heaven and Hell, Marilyn Manson, Blind Guardian, Saxon and As I Lay Dying among others. This marks the first time ALL THAT REMAINS will appear in Japan, while the band will hit Mexico for the first time as well in late July.

“We are heading to JAPAN!” frontman Phil Labonte says. “This year, the organizers of the Loud Park 2007 Festival have invited ATR to be a part of the fest. So later this fall, ATR is gonna head across the mighty pacific and deliver some live ATR insanity. We are excited more than I can tell you, we have some friends in Japan and hope to make even more. Get ready Japan, and get into it!”

Joe’s Podhole recently posted an interview with Labonte from last summer’s Ozzfest 2006, featuring hilarious clips from Labonte, Unearth’s Slo and Strapping Young Lad’s Devin Townsend, which is available for download or podcasting here (http://joespodhole.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=228238).

Recently surpassing the 100,000 sales mark domestically, ALL THAT REMAINS recently announced the release of a live concert DVD in October. The DVD will feature live performances from the band’s recent show at Theater of the Living Arts in Philadelphia, as well as from their upcoming show in Baltimore at The Recher Theatre on July 12. ATR fans will also be treated to tons of bonus goodies on the new DVD, including behind the scenes footage, band and fan interviews, a live photo slideshow and all of the band’s videos.

In other ALL THAT REMAINS news, July will find the hard-working band filming a video for the third single from ‘The Fall of Ideals,‘ “Not Alone”, in between tour dates. Director Soren will handle the shoot, having already produced videos for Unearth and Light This City. After a handful of domestic tour dates (including a special appearance on the Sounds of the Underground tour), the band heads to Mexico and then Europe through August, where they will pay several major festivals including the Wacken: Open Air Festival in Germany.

Fan pages on MySpace from across the world have started sprouting on the social networking site, including sites from Japan (http://www.myspace.com/atrjapan), Germany (http://www.myspace.com/atrgermany), Mexico (http://www.myspace.com/atrmexico), and the United States (http://www.myspace.com/atrusa).

“All That Remains have delivered the record of their career…If 2004’s This Darkened Heart placed the New England NWOAHM band on the map, this follow-up will take them all over it.” 9/10 – Decibel

“All That Remains have always been one of the more accomplished bands of the genre, and the increased use of clean vocals and contagious melodies has made The Fall of Ideals an improvement from its solid predecessor, This Darkened Heart.” – Blabbermouth

“All That Remains has become a group that has honed its craft and perfected its trade to the point of being undeniably appealing, and here’s hoping that The Fall of Ideals will catch on.” 8/10 – Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles

“All That Remains have worked their balls off for years, touring the world playing second fiddle to a variety of like-minded bands and rustling up a decent following in the process. What they’ve also done is sharpen up their skills to the point where The Fall of Ideals bears all the hallmarks of a classic.” KKKKK – Kerrang

“This album is easily one of the top five heavy music records of 2006…get ready to spin your head around until you damage cervical vertebrae, numbers two and three.” – Metal Edge

“For those new to the style and new to ATR – let this be your diving board into some of the meatiest metal-fun around.” 9/10 – Metal Hammer
