Massachusetts metalcore band ALL THAT REMAINS released their breakthrough third studio album, "The Fall of Ideals," on July 11, 2006, through Prosthetic Records and Razor & Tie. Fusing melodic death metal riffing with soaring clean choruses, the record refined the sound the band had explored on 2004's "This Darkened Heart" into a sharper, more radio-friendly attack led by singles "This Calling" and "The Deepest Scars." It debuted at number 75 on the Billboard 200 and became a defining release of the mid-2000s American metalcore boom, eventually selling more than 450,000 copies worldwide within the following decade. Vocalist Phil Labonte's alternating growls and cleans, paired with the twin-guitar melodies of Oli Herbert and Mike Martin, gave the album lasting influence over a generation of metalcore bands. "The Fall of Ideals" remains widely regarded as ALL THAT REMAINS' creative and commercial turning point.
