ALL THAT REMAINS frontman offers update before band leaves for Europe
After the band's recent successful first headlining tour throughout North America, Massachusetts' ALL THAT REMAINS is now gearing up for a headlining run across the Atlantic, ready to tear through Europe with support from Misery Signals, Textures and Eternal Lord (UK dates only). Upon completion, ALL THAT REMAINS will return to the US for dates with Bullet For My Valentine before returning to Europe for Wacken: Open Air 2007 in Germany.
"I'm starting to get my mind ready for another flight to Europe," frontman Phil Labonte said. "I hate flying. We carry guitars, wireless crap, cymbals, pedals, our luggage, computers, and all kinds of other stuff. BUT, once we get there and get situated it's gonna be sweet! Our first headliner in the US was amazing and I was worried about that, so we'll see how this one goes. If the US is any indicator: it's gonna rule. If you're planning on going to the London show: Get tickets soon. It's gonna sell out."
ALL THAT REMAINS is also deep into production of the band's debut DVD. Labonte comments on that as well: "High Roller sent us some stuff and it looks AMAZING! Larry (KrazyLarry) and Mario (Onabur) from our message board are both on the DVD. Mario is only kinda on the DVD, I guess you would say. His valentine to Jeanne [Sagan, bass] is there. Ray from Full Blown Chaos is on it and is awesome! I can't wait until we get this thing together for you guys. I think we'll see more stuff once we get back from Europe, so I'll give you another update then."
"We were screwing around with some new music this week at practice," he continues. "We are starting to get into the notion of writing. We are planning on having some time this summer off, so we're gonna start writing some stuff. Jason [Costa, drummer] is bringing a very creative mindset. Good stuff."
ALL THAT REMAINS continues to support the band's latest release, 'The Fall of Ideals,' which saw a summer 2006 release and led to stints on Sounds of the Underground 2006 in Europe, Ozzfest 2006, and tours with DragonForce, Killswitch Engage, a headlining tour and the forthcoming European headlining tour.
