Interview with Dan Egan from All that Remains by Jen

What bands did All that Remains come from originally?
Our guitarist Chris was in a few bands that did really well in our area since about 1989, who were Plastic X, Slowpoke and Hedred. Phil was the ex-singer of Shadows Fall and played guitar in Perpetual Doom before that. Our other guitarist Ollie was in a progressive metal band called Netherworld. Mike played in Slowpoke and Hedred with Chris, and I was in Exhumed (from MA) and Scattered Remnants.
How did the band get started?
Before Phil split with Shadows Fall, he started writing songs more in the direction he wanted to go in. Then when they stopped playing together he was taking guitar lessons from Chris, so they hooked up. Around the same time, he asked me if I was interested in playing. Then we picked up Mike through Chris. After about six months of playing together and trying to find another guitarist we found Ollie.
You had a three song CD that you gave away at Milwaukee last year. What was the feedback you got from them?
The feedback we received was real good. We ended up burning more CD's and getting rid of them at other shows since then.
When is the new CD suppose to be out?
We just got it mastered a few weeks back and need to figure out some things like art work and money. It should be out really soon though.
How long did it take to record?
Way too long. We recorded it up here in MA at Planet Z. Just before Phil was supposed to record his vocal tracks, he got really sick. We had blocked off a good few weeks of off time, but ran out. We had to wait for a couple other bands to record there until we could get back in to finish up. Overall I think it ended up taking four months.
Are you happy with the way it came out? Do you like it better than the three song CD? Did you do the songs on the three song over, or just use the original recording?
Very happy, Zeus who recorded it, did a great job. Over all, yes. I do really like the way the 3 song CD sounds also. Yes, we did do the three songs over. We didn't have Ollie when we recorded the first time and he really contributes to the sound we have now.
You are currently working with Scott Lee, aka Ogre. What is he doing for you guys? Are you happy with his support?
Scott is really helping us a lot from getting us shows, helping with merchandise and money to help us record. We are real thankful for his support. He's a good friend.
Who are some of the bigger bands you have opened for? Some of the bigger shows you have played?
Immortal, Krisiun, Arch Enemy, Satyricon, Angel Corpse, Nevermore, Internal Bleeding and we were able to play the New England Hardcore and Metal Fest and the MA Metal Fest this year.
Who are some of the bigger bands You guys are a metal band, what was the crowd reaction when you opened for Immortal or Krisun?
It didn't seem like we were making too many friends while we were playing. I don't think anyone was planning on a local opener. We did end up selling all our CD samplers and T-Shirts though, so it couldn't have been that bad.
What are five CD's you are listening to right now?
Emperor-IX Equilibrium, Soilwork- The Chainheart Machine (Good Choice! Jenn), God Forbid- Reject the Sickness, and a couple oldies, Obituary- Cause of Death and Grave-Soulless.
Favorite show you played so far and why?
Probably the MA Metal Fest in early May. We got the chance to play on the main stage and the kids seemed to be really into it. We had a good response. We also got to meet a lot of cool people and see some really good bands.
Was there a show that was least memorable and why?
Yes. Our first show. We just couldn't click as a band for some reason. One of those nights I guess.
Do you guys have any big tour or shows coming up soon?
We have a good amount of shows booked around the New England area for the next couple months, and we are suppose to be playing the Milwaukee Metal Fest in July.
Any final words? What merchandise do you guys have available?
We are suppose to start printing this week so by the time this comes out we should have hats, jackets, t-shirts, stickers and a CD. Thanks a lot for the interview Jenn and anyone interested, get in touch!
