All That Remains

On April 27th, All That Remains from Springfield (Massachusetts) will release their 8th full-length album. Originally starting off as a melodic death metal-influenced metalcore project formed by frontman Philipe Labonte, they have shifted towards a more "radio-friendly" melodic hard rock sound over the last couple of years.

It's remarkable in itself that in 2018, the Cowboy Junkies still have the same lineup that recorded their debut album, Whites Off Earth Now!!, in 1986. But it's even more surprising that more than three decades into their career, the band's essential formula remains very much the same, and what's more, that it still works. Released in 2018, All That Reckoning is less spare and severe than the group's most celebrated early material, with the occasional report of a jagged synthesizer or electric guitar, but even though the arrangements are more fleshed-out and the production more ambitious, the Cowboy Junkies continue to lay out languid, contemplative melodies favoring the low end of the register, with the rich but spectral vocals of Margo Timmins drizzled over the top like honey.
