Sucks. Matt was an incredible drummer and I hope he finds another band.

On the bright side, the new guitarist looks like a good replacement for Chris, as Francesco's playing style is very similar his, but with a broader range of influences outside of metal:

Judging from the first video, maybe they'll have some acoustic stuff on the next ASP album??

Unless of course he goes more along the lines of the second video, in which case the new ASP record will sound pretty much like Awaken the Dreamers. Hopefully they'll find a good mixture of the two.

I'm sure it won't really make a difference, I think when they choose to release their next album it's going to kick major ass, might have less distracting blastbeats though :P

the drummer replacement is still good though.


also the guitarist is fucking stupid. leave an incredible deathcore band to join a sub-par sumerian one.

Yeah I remember talking to him at the seattle show a while ago.

He basically said BOO was alot more fun to play in and more laidback. He said asp was all stress and not fun at all.

*shrugs.

one of the only decent-good deathcore bands

There is no business to be done on a dead planet. Song had awesome drums

one of the only decent-good deathcore bands[2]

Don't care at all for All Shall Perish, but he's a really good guitar player.

Band has one alright album (Hate. Malice. Revenge.), one good album (The Price Of Existence), and a horrible album (Awaken The Dreamers)... I don't really see why anyone gets hyped about them anymore, maybe the hype made sense in like 2007, but seriously...

äääähhhmmm
noope

Someone wanna tell me wtf a "sumerian" band is? We talkin bout pharaohs and shit?

It's a record label full of generic tech death bands

This worries me.

I've loved everything they've done and a big part of that was Chris Storey and Matt.

I'm really curious to hear some new stuff now.

i expect more of the same from all shall perish, slightly above average deathcore and nothing more

the price of existence was certainly not 'slightly above average'.

The Price of Existence blew me away the first time I heard it

ive always found the price of existence to be overrated.
it's a good album, but nothing to shit your pants over

I would say that Awaken the Dreamers and Price of Existence are both above average especially for the genre.

Sumerian has one good band. They have The Faceless who are absolutely amazing and should just switch to a better label.

The Price of Existence is a GREAT album, and awaken the dreamers was good, but not as good as I was expecting after TPOE.

The first five songs are top-notch and then it just kind of feels like they needed to fill in the rest of the album. Hopefully their new sound with the new members will change to a mixture of TPOE with some new.

Awaken the Dreamers title track rules, everything else on the album was suck-meh

imo, all shall perish is the best deathcore band around.

"Sumerian has one good band. They have The Faceless who are absolutely amazing and should just switch to a better label." oh and you're forgetting after the burial.

This band is basically a shell of its former self.

Will be interesting to hear what changes they will make this time though, with the new guitarist and drummer.
