12. All That Remains - Not Alone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS0ZJsDC76w With the likes of Killswitch Engage, Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine lighting fires up everybody's collective rear-ends thanks to the whirlwind-pace of the metalcore genre, All That Remains - being a shockingly good band - were waiting with baited breath to get noticed, like some ardent, frantically-waving child demanding you look in their direction. Well we finally did, and boy were we blown away by the wall of sound that met us. Phil Labonte's vocals on 2006's The Fall of Ideals were powerfully disgusting, in every way that description allows. However although whilst for many the path of Labonte is a one that snakes downward, guitar Oli Herbert has been the instrumental centre with which the band have written some of the best metalcore tunes of the last decade. Not Alone is no different, and if the introductory few guitar lines didn't put you off learning, the alternating high notes and intricately tapped sections of the solo should drive the point home; All That Remains used to be flawless.
