THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
ALL THAT REMAINS...Overcome (2008)
(CD, vinyl, Allmusic review)

Another voice shredding in-your-face hardcore heavy metal record. The album reached number 16 on the US Billboard album charts, behind the success of the rock radio track 'Two Weeks'. 'A Song For The Hopeless' is a decent track, as is the final track 'I Believe In Nothing'. Otherwise the album all sounds the same with the double bass drum pounding away and the vocals screaming at you. I don't recommend it, unless you are into this sort of music
