ALL THAT REMAINS frontman offers tour update

ALL THAT REMAINS frontman offers tour update
<http://www.prostheticrecords.com/filebin/bandfull/allthatremains.jpg> ALL THAT REMAINS frontman offers update Massachusetts’ ALL THAT REMAINS are currently busy wrapping up the final shows on the bands current string of dates as direct support to As I Lay Dying with a show in Los Angeles tonight and the tour’s final show in San Diego on Friday. In the meantime, frontman Phil Labonte has issued an in-depth update on all things personal and all things ALL THAT REMAINS. "We are wrapping up the ‘An Ocean Between Us’ tour. All the bands have been awesome," Labonte says. "Through The Eyes Of The Dead, Haste The Day and As I Lay Dying are all great and cool guys. The shows have nearly all been sold out, and if not sold out, packed to the gills. We’re a really lucky band. We have had the chance to tour with some of the biggest bands and play the most amazing shows in the past year-and-a-half: Ozzfest, shows with DragonForce, Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Bullet For My Valentine, plus two AMAZING US headlining tours, our first headliner in Europe, Waken: Open Air, Mexico, Japan and Loudpark, and a huge co-headliner in Canada with Protest The Hero." "Five years ago I would have never believed anyone who told me ATR would do all that in just a year and a half! That’s just touring, not to mention all the awesome people I’ve met, all the cool and crazy shit I’ve seen, funny stories I’ve heard, shots of whiskey I’ve drank, miles I’ve gone, countries I’ve been in…All in just over a year." "I’m home sick. It’s not a bad thing. I’m not unhappy about it. But in about two weeks, I’ll be in Massachusetts sitting in front of my TV playing Halo 3 and trying to figure out what to get my family for Christmas. That’s gonna be nice. We’ve only been home 10 days since the beginning of September; that’s a lot of being gone. Lots can happen in 14 or so weeks: There have been a bunch of times I’d leave and come back and a new building is up in my area, or a restaurant closes and gets knocked down…It’s weird. So, it’ll be nice to be home for the holidays. We’ll spend about two months at home, really get some time off, and write some new metal." "We are gonna be announcing a tour in the next couple weeks. We’ll be headlining in February all over the US. It’s gonna be a really awesome package but I can’t talk about it right now, so keep your eyes and ears open." I guess lastly: Thank you to everyone who has made this past year-and-a-half amazing. Thank you to you guys who picked up ‘The Fall Of Ideals,’ those who picked up our DVD [’All That Remains Live’], those who came out to shows, picked up a shirt, bought a round, played Guitar Hero, kicked my ass in Halo, got smoked by me in Halo. Thanks to everyone who sings along, everyone who puts up the horns, everyone who puts up the lighters and the cell phones, everyone who gets on the floor and shows everyone down there what’s up. You guys have made my life amazing. You guys have made everything that I ever wanted to do a reality for me. Thank you so much." Continuing to support a series of releases - 2006’s ‘The Fall of Ideals,’ and the recently released reissue of the band’s debut, ‘Behind Silence and Solitude,’ as well as the band’s first ever DVD, ‘All That Remains Live’ - ALL THAT REMAINS will return home briefly to continue writing material for a yet-untitled album due out through Prosthetic Records sometime in 2008 before hitting the road again in the spring. Details on that tour will be available shortly. ALL THAT REMAINS’ latest video, for the track "Not Alone," has been nominated by MTV2’s Headbangers Ball as one of 2007’s best videos. To vote, head over to http://www.hbb.mtv2.com <http://www.hbb.mtv2.com/> , while the video is available online on Prosthetic Records’ YouTube page (http://youtube.com/watch?v=mnDEFyV88Qs).

SEBASTIAN BACH’S "ANGEL DOWN" ALBUM - NUMBER ONE ON BILLBOARD’S HEATSEEKERS CHART
November 29, 2007
SEBASTIAN BACH'S "ANGEL DOWN" ALBUM - NUMBER ONE ON BILLBOARD'S HEATSEEKERS CHART Sebastian Bach tops next week's Billboard Heatseekers Chart with "Angel Down," his first solo album in eight years. In addition to the Number One chart debut, "Angel Down" has also been winning over the critics: "'Angel Down' will tear you up..an amped yet layered backdrop for this limitless voice, an uncharacteristically tortured Bach blazes a promising new path of modern badness and paranoia." -- Los Angeles Times "The truth is, Sebastian Bach has a great f**king voice...it's gratifying to hear he hasn't lost a whit of his vocal power, range, or attitude on 'Angel Down.'" -- SF Weekly "Bach's solo disc rocks harder - and more single-mindedly - than you'd expect." -- Entertainment Weekly "Angel Down" - produced by Roy Z (Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Judas Priest) and featuring three tracks with Guns N Roses' Axl Rose on vocals - also lands at #27 on Billboard's Hard Rock chart, and enters the Top 200 Albums chart at #190. While it will be a week or so before all international sales figures are in, "Angel Down" debuted at #50 in Japan.
