All That Remains is the third album from heavy metal group Fozzy. Unlike the two previous albums, All That Remains, features all original songs as the band had dropped their spoof in favor of becoming a more recognized band rather than a gimmick, with the members using their actual names instead of stage names. It features Alter Bridge members Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Society guitarist Zakk Wylde, rapper Bone Crusher, and Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman. A remastered version of All That Remains, entitled All That Remains: Reloaded, was released on March 25, 2008. It is a two-disc set that features the album and a DVD called Live in the UK.
[edit] Writing and recording
Prior to writing and recording the album, the band knew that they had their work cut out for them recording an all-original album for the first time. The band decided to record no filler material feeling every song had to be good. Rich Ward wrote all of the music and melodies while Jericho wrote the lyrics with Ed Aborn, a friend of the bands. The band recorded the album at Treesound Studios in Atlanta, and they used the same soundboard that was used on the album Synchronicity by the Police and Rush's Moving Pictures. Elton John was also in the complex at the time recording his Peachtree Road album and Alter Bridge were recording their album One Day Remains. Jericho went downstairs to Alter Bridge's studio and asked Mark Tremonti to do a guest solo on the track "The Way I Am", and Myles Kennedy laid down backing vocals. The bands producer was friends with Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman who agreed to lay down a solo for "Born of Anger". Zakk Wylde also played a solo for the song "Wanderlust". Due to conflicts between Fozzy and their record company Megaforce/Palm, the band decided to record their third effort on their own label, Ash Records.
[edit] Release and reception
The album was released January 19, 2005 and went on to sell little over 90,000 copies but was praised by many rock magazines. The album´s lead single "Enemy" and "Nameless Faceless" achieved moderated success with "Enemy" receiving airplay on over 80 stations across the US and being used as the theme song of WWE pay-per-view No Way Out and "Nameless Faceless" reaching number 4 on the charts at XM Radio.[2]
