ALL THAT REMAINS Recruits Guitarist KEN SUSI (Ex-UNEARTH, Ex-AS I LAY DYING)

All That Remains have officially welcomed Ken Susi as their new guitarist.

The former Unearth and As I Lay Dying guitarist has joined the Massachusetts metalcore veterans following the departure of Jason Richardson, who exited the band last July after nearly seven years. Richardson originally stepped into the role in late 2018, following the tragic passing of founding guitarist Oliver "Oli" Herbert.

Susi confirmed the news on Monday, January 12, sharing a heartfelt statement on social media that highlighted both his deep personal history with the band and the emotional weight of the role he’s stepping into.

"I’m incredibly honored to be joining All That Remains as their new guitarist," Susi wrote. "My connection to this band goes back to the late ’90s, when I first met Mike [Martin], Oli and Phil [Labonte] at underground shows in Western Massachusetts."

According to Susi, those formative years in the New England metal scene helped shape his musical identity — making his arrival in All That Remains feel less like a new chapter and more like a return. "Those early days shaped so much of who I am, and coming back together now truly feels full circle," he added.

Susi also addressed the significance of replacing Oliver Herbert, who co-founded All That Remains and helped define the band’s sound before his death in 2018. "I’m also deeply honored to step in for my late friend Oli Herbert," Susi said. "Oli was not only an extraordinary musician, but a close friend whose presence and influence will always be felt."

Acknowledging the gravity of the role, Susi emphasized that Herbert’s legacy remains untouchable. "His shoes can never truly be filled, and I carry his spirit with me every time I pick up the guitar."

"After decades of friendship, shared history, and mutual support, it means everything to get on stage with this band and contribute to a project I genuinely believe in," he wrote. "I can’t wait to hit the road and share what we’ve been working on with all of you."

All That Remains will hit the road across the U.S. come April and May 2026. The tour features Born Of Osiris and Dead Eyes, and the whole thing kicks off on April 29 at Empire Live in Albany, NY. Get your tickets here.
