All that Remains – Live DVD Finally Set for October 30 Issue; Delay Due to ‘HALO’ Theme Music

ALL THAT REMAINS have persevered in securing a final release date for their forthcoming DVD and is at last scheduled for a real street date of October 30. Live audio from the DVD will be available on digital service providers as of November 6.

“We are wicked pumped to be able to offer our fans a feature-packed DVD,” ALL THAT REMAINS frontman Phil Labonte commented. “Thanks to all the ATR fans everywhere who have waited patiently for this.  It’s a long time coming, and we feel like it’s full of good stuff and worth the wait!”

Originally set for a summer release, the DVD was supposed to consist of the ALL THAT REMAINS’ show at Philadelphia’s The Theater Of The Living Arts, filmed in early spring. All seem to go well with the shoot, until the production company discovered that portions of audio in several songs had not been recorded. This necessitated another shoot to correct the faulty audio. The next filming took place at Baltimore’s The Recher Theater in July. This time the audio recording was successful, but unfortunately that didn’t mean all was well and on schedule.

Within days of completing the reshoot, the production company filed for bankruptcy and its assets (including the entirety of the All That Remains footage) were seized by the IRS (strike two).  After a somewhat lengthy legal battle, the footage was finally recovered and the DVD’s release was seemingly back on track for mid-October.

Just when it seemed unlikely that any other problems could arise there was one more setback in store. Longtime video game devotees, ALL THAT REMAINS often use the music from the wildly popular game, “Halo” for their entrance during their stage show on tour.  This entrance and the “Halo” music was included in the DVD.  ALL THAT REMAINS’s label applied for clearance of the music and were lead to believe that it would be approved, but at the last minute were denied (strike three).

The DVD was quickly re-edited to exclude the “Halo” theme song and is finally set for an October 30 release date.
