For We Are Many

For We Are Many (stylized as ...For We Are Many) is the fifth studio album by the American heavy metal band All That Remains.

Released on October 12, 2010, it is the third album by the band to be produced by the Killswitch Engage guitarist, Adam Dutkiewicz, who also produced This Darkened Heart and The Fall of Ideals.

For We Are Many is the first All That Remains album to contain the same lineup as the preceding album, a tradition that would continue up through 2015's The Order of Things.

In an interview lead singer Phil Labonte stated that it was the first time he had an idea for the album cover before they started working on it. Stating "I wanted it to be heavy and let the art speak for itself. That was part of the reason for leaving the name of the band off the cover."

The album features fast tempos, riffs, tremolo picking, guitar soloing, growled vocals, and breakdowns. It leans into both melodeath (melodic death metal) and metalcore. Many tracks alternate between shouting/screaming vocals and cleaner, melodic choruses that reflect more introspection or vulnerability.

In an interview with Revolver Labonte stated “For We Are Many" will also offer a few surprises. "There's a song with a talk box on it and a couple of cool riffs that remind me of MESHUGGAH," “there's more PANTERA-ish, southern stuff than we've ever done.”

The album lyrics focus on coming together and defying oppressors the title track For We Are Many emphasizes this. The lyrics also touch upon internal conflict and a struggle to believe in oneself or keep faith.

On August 18, 2010, the band made the title track downloadable for free. On September 2, the band released the first single to go to rock radio, "Hold On", on their official YouTube channel it peaked at number 10 on the Mainstream Rock chart The music video was released on October 6.
