ALL THAT REMAINS: 'Six' Live Video Posted Online

October 17, 2007

ALL THAT REMAINS's performance video for the track "Six" can be viewed below. The footage is expected to appear on the band's first-ever live DVD, due on October 30. Live audio from the DVD will be available on digital service providers as of November 6.

"We are wicked pumped to be able to offer our fans a feature-packed DVD," ALL THAT REMAINS frontman Phil Labonte commented. "Thanks to all the ATR fans everywhere who have waited patiently for this. It's a long time coming, and we feel like it's full of good stuff and worth the wait!"

Originally set for a summer release, the DVD was supposed to consist of the ALL THAT REMAINS' show at Philadelphia's The Theater Of The Living Arts, filmed in early spring. All seem to go well with the shoot, until the production company discovered that portions of audio in several songs had not been recorded (strike one). This necessitated another shoot to correct the faulty audio. The next filming took place at Baltimore's The Recher Theater in July.This time the audio recording was successful, but unfortunately that didn't mean all was well and on schedule.

Within days of completing the reshoot, the production company filed for bankruptcy and its assets (including the entirety of the ALL THAT REMAINS footage) were seized by the IRS (strike two). After a somewhat lengthy legal battle, the footage was finally recovered and the DVD's release was seemingly back on track for mid-October.

Just when it seemed unlikely that any other problems could arise…surprise, surpise — there was one more setback in store. Longtime video game devotees, ALL THAT REMAINS often use the music from the wildly popular game "Halo" for their entrance during their stage show on tour. This entrance and the "Halo" music was included in the DVD. ATR's label applied for clearance of the music and were led to believe that it would be approved, but at the last minute were denied (strike three).

But this isn't baseball, folks. ALL THAT REMAINS were down, but not out. The DVD was quickly re-edited to exclude the "Halo" theme song and is finally set for an October 30 release date.

In other ATR news, fans will soon have their very own ALL THAT REMAINS video game to enjoy. Housed on the band's website, "All That Remains Van Driver" will premiere this week. The game (designed by Prod) is inspired by "Spy-Hunter": the player is ALL THAT REMAINS' van driver and the goal is to get the band to their gig, along the way dodging roadkill, old ladies, potholes, etc. After each of five rounds the player gets to view sneak peeks of performances from the DVD. Prizes will be awarded to the players with the ten highest scores; the player with the highest score will receive a "Guitar Hero II" video game, bundled with an autographed guitar.

Released in July 2006, "The Fall of Ideals" is ALL THAT REMAINS' latest album, which has sold over 120,000 units to date. The band continues to tour in support of that record, the DVD and the re-release of ALL THAT REMAINS' first album, "Behind Silence and Solitude", which came out earlier this month, packaged with new artwork after being out of print.
