MTV.com – Oct 22, 2007
The group played shows and recorded a demo which landed them a deal with Prosthetic Records. The band’s debut album Behind Silence And Solitude was released in March 2002 prompting DigitalMetal. com to hail the group as “one of the premier melodic death metal acts this side of the Atlantic. Since the release of the first album All That Remains have toured the United States three times including tours with The Crown and Darkest Hour. “We are pretty happy with what we have done so far but we still have so far to go” says Labonte. “There are so many things that we all dreamed about when we were kids and started playing this music. The way heavy music is going now a lot of them can be achieved… “We are pretty happy with what we have done so far but we still have so far to go” says Labonte. “There are so many things that we all dreamed about when we were kids and started playing this music. The way heavy music is going now a lot of them can be achieved. So to get a record deal was a dream come true to be able to put out more than one disc is a dream come true. We have gotten further than most bands who start out in the garage or the basement.
Martin Atkins’ China Dub Soundsystem
PopMatters – Oct 23, 2007
People come into the group contribute their personalities to its sound then go back to whatever they were doing elsewhere. Atkins’ collaborators on Made in China are Chinese rather than American but the music on this synergistic album sounds like an extension of Pigface. It has a denseness characteristic of US industrial music of the kind popularised by Reznor an oppressive snarling tsunami of noise exhilarating in its brutality like a good dark horror movie. In effect the supergroup has simply changed continents and absorbed a few dozen new members. Atkins found them when he travelled to Beijing in late 2006. The Chinese musicians play the erhu a two-stringed fiddle that looks like an elongated lollypop and the pipa lute which is shaped like a huge pale tear. Some of them sing or rap in Chinese —probably Mandarin although the notes don’t make it clear—and others blow the hulusi a wind instrument with a round gourd body… This is a bit like the sort of music that was around when Atkins began his musical career at the beginning of the 1980s so the similarities between Made in China the album he collaborated on and Look Directly the album he compiled aren’t completely a coincidence. The former is less avant-garde than the latter but it comes with a similar feeling of defiantly coarse post-punk glee. A group called Voodoo Kungfu stands out from the rest of the compilation with “Chian” a song that brings the hroooargh of death metal together with Mongolian singing and a morin khuur fiddle. This isn’t the same thing as the Tuvan Albert Kuvezin’s use of his own deep throat-singer’s growl to complement Motörhead’s “rgasmatron” on Re-Covers. It’s heavier more unrelentingly ferocious with less obvious popular appeal. “Chian” incorporates folk chanting that sounds as if it was inspired by Tibetan Buddhism—it was the Tibetans who popularised Buddhism in Mongolia—and a whinnying shamanistic yodel that arcs upwards into a scream. In theory the idea of Mongolian Shaman-metal might sound like a peculiar novelty.

) Actually if I had to choose between shows I’d ditch “Idol” in a heartbeat and pledge my loyalty to “Band” for three very simple reasons:- These are intact bands who already know how to play their instruments have their own sound and point of view and are therefore less likely to completely stink. Not that this automatically rules out the trip to Clown Town – Friday’s premiere included some death metal folks who looked like even they didn’t believe they were supposed to be there (they weren’t). But for the most part these are serious musicians that are serious about what they do and are facing the same real criticism they’d get in the real world… So far my favorites are Light f Doom the Hanson-esque thrash band whose moms are their biggest fans (Yay! Death and blood! Just like Mommy used to make!) and Franklin Bridge the Philly funk band who got a standing ovation from the judges. The one problem – this thing’s on Friday nights. Aren’t most fans of live music you know out on a Friday night going to see live music? Just a thought. Posted by Leslie Streeter at ctober 22 2007 2:15 PMCommentsThe program had a very dull and hollow ring to it that can best be summed up as “close but not close enough”. But what more could be expected from Fox and “dem Idol franchise boys” who wouldn’t know what rock and roll was if it was hawked up by Sid Vicious and spat right between their eyes. There’s a number of intrinsic problems with the show clearly visible within the first episode:Firstly what could be LESS rock and roll than having bands audition at 9 a.

The Gauntlet – Oct 22, 2007
The Gauntlet: Is Radium just an extension for your previous metal-meets-porn series “Backstage Sluts”?Matt: No it is totally different. Radium is actually a real metal series like Headbanger’s Ball but with a female host that also get’s naked and plowed. Plus music video’s interviews etc. The Gauntlet: Will Tera Wray be the host in each episode or will there be rotating hosts?Matt: Nope Tera Wray is the girl.
