All That Remains songs for Rock Band News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
MTV and Harmonix have chucked three songs by US metal band All That Remains online for Rock Band.
"Chiron" and "Two Weeks" are taken from imminent album Overcome. Older song "This Calling" joins from acclaimed 2006 album The Fall of Ideals.
All three together will cost 240 Microsoft Points (GBP 2.04 / EUR 2.88 ), or each can be picked individually for 80 Microsoft Points (GBP 0.68 / EUR 0.96).
All That Remains formed in 1998, and Wikipedia reckons there are plenty of "melodic death metal influences" in the music. We're not even sure what that means.
Interestingly, recent studies at Edinburgh's Heriot-Watt University concluded that heavy metal and classical music fans exhibited similar personality traits. Both are "creative and at ease, but not outgoing", according to Professor Adrian North.
Indie fans came off worst, deemed creative but with low self-esteem, and not hard-working or gentle. Otherwise known as "mad for it".
Rock Band is due out on PS3, PS2 and Wii this Friday. The game is already out on Xbox 360.

i'm still wondering when Harmonix are going to start bringing in some content that is actually half decent (besides the pixies of course)

Yeah! Where's the Toploader? Or the Brian Adams? |

I think he's just making reference to the fact that a lot of metal fans refuse to accept any other type of music at all.
No, nothing of the sort. I'm making reference to the fact that fans of certain types of music (of which dance, hip-hop and metal are most obvious) like to seemingly invent an endless list of sub-genres to seem knowledgable and/or to scare away the noobs. He says having once spent a night listening to someone try and tell him the difference between heavy metal, speed metal, thrash metal, gore metal, goregrind metal, black metal, dark metal, metalcore and endless others. And it's just completely needlessly pretentious. It's like to appeal to some metal fans you have to actively be the only member of your own invented sub-genre. |

Zomoniac> That's probably because Metal as a genre (as with some other genres) is too broad and varied within itself to be generalised. It works best in conversation about music. For instance I can't stand music by bands such as Megadeth, Pantera, Dragonforce, etc. but I like music with more aggression and screaming vocals. It's easier to convey that to someone else by naming it as a sub-genre.
Really, I don't see the problem. It's like you're trying to make up issues just so you have something to complain about. |

I used to like All That Remains, but I've kind of grown out of it now.
At 26, it's all a bit too much of a racket for me :) There aren't many screamo-esque bands I like anymore. God I'm old!! |

Two or three cringe-tastic posts in this thread none more so than Warlockuk's typically elitist first comment.
If we're going to get into the whole genre debate (I don't attach more value to classification) then surely metalcore is a sub-genre of metal. So people are well within their rights to refer to 'metalcore' bands as metal bands, especially since not everyone knows or understands certain sub-genres. |

Oh my. A lot of people are getting worked up over sub-genres and what-not here aren't they? To avoid further confusion/arguments, All That Remains, and in fact, all bands and artists are hereby of the genre of 'music'.
There. Now let's all get back to playing Music Band, shall we?

disappointed these songs don't sound more like Six actually. could do without the singing parts basically. really, really, really wish they'd release some death metal or grindcore (or, to continue the superiority-through-obscurity genre-baiting, goregind!) song packs. proper stuff. or black metal for that matter. i want Immortal!

There is some merit in sub genre classing bands as to be honest as a metaller for 17 years now I do understand that there are differences and enough difefrences between types of metal just to add a filter so to speak...now classing something as Metalcore in a derogitory way is just daft, and that's the point at which I say " it's either metal or it's not" |
