All That Remains New Album Charts High

Massachusetts-based metal act All That Remains has officially scanned almost 13,000 copies of the band's latest release, 'The Fall of Ideals,' according to Nielsen SoundScan. Strong first week sales also result in the album catapulting to a # 75 debut on the Billboard Top 200 charts. The success of the 'The Fall of Ideals' marks the most strongest first week ever for a Prosthetic Records band. The album is a joint release between Prosthetic and Razor & Tie. Prosthetic is the Los Angeles-based label which began in 1997 and was the launching pad for international sensations Lamb Of God. It is currently enjoying success with upstarts Through The Eyes Of The Dead.

The stellar first-week success comes hot off the heels of Massachusetts' The Acacia Strain, another Prosthetic Records band, entering the Billboard Heatseekers chart at #40 behind strong first-week numbers for the band's latest record, 'The Dead Walk' in June. Moving over 2,600 units first week, that record began Prosthetic's busy summer release schedule, which will also see releases from Burn In Silence, France's Gojira, and Light This City.

Currently touring North America as part of Ozzfest 2006, All That Remains will continue touring throughout the summer and fall to support the band's new release, having already stormed Europe as part of Sounds of The Underground earlier this year. The Fall of Ideals was recorded with producer Adam Dutkiewicz (Killswitch Engage). The album marks the recorded debuts of new bassist Jeanne Sagan and drummer Shannon Lucas. The result is an album that Revolver magazine dubs, "Both brutal and beautiful. Scary good."

The lead single/video from 'The Fall of Ideals,' "This Calling," can currently be seen on Fuse's "Uranium" and will be making its debut on MTV2's "Headbanger's Ball" this Saturday, July 22nd. The video can be found at online on the band's website at allthatremainsonline.com.
