Background

edit

All That Remains was formed in 1998 by then Shadows Fall vocalist Phil Labonte as a side project. After Labonte was asked to leave that band, All That Remains became a full-time project.[8]

Before recording Behind Silence and Solitude, All That Remains recorded two demos, both released in 1999. The first demo features the songs "Follow", "From These Wounds" and "Shading" and was handed out at Milwaukee Metalfest 1999. The band's second demo, Demo 1999, features the same songs but with "Erase" replacing "From These Wounds". The demo version of "Follow" also features an orchestral intro.

Behind Silence and Solitude was recorded in early 2000, but was not released until two years later.[5]
