Former UNEARTH and AS I LAY DYING guitarist Ken Susi has officially been announced as the new guitarist for ALL THAT REMAINS, stepping in to replace Jason Richardson.
Richardson left ALL THAT REMAINS last July after nearly seven years with the band. He originally joined the group on lead guitar following the tragic death of co-founding member and lead guitarist Oliver “Oli” Herbert in late 2018.
Yesterday (Monday, January 12), Susi released the following statement via social media: “I’m incredibly honored to be joining ALL THAT REMAINS as their new guitarist. My connection to this band goes back to the late ’90s, when I first met Mike [Martin, guitar], Oli and Phil [Labonte, vocals] at underground shows in Western Massachusetts. Those early days shaped so much of who I am, and coming back together now truly feels full circle.
“I’m also deeply honored to step in for my late friend Oli Herbert. Oli was not only an extraordinary musician, but a close friend whose presence and influence will always be felt. 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. I can’t wait to hit the road and share what we’ve been working on with all of you.
See you out there”.
