Still Remains
Aggressive metalcore meets European melodic death metal. High-energy riffs and soaring synth textures create a sound that is both punishing and strangely beautiful.
Aggressive metalcore meets European melodic death metal. High-energy riffs and soaring synth textures create a sound that is both punishing and strangely beautiful.
Still Remains delivers a high-octane blend of American metalcore grit and European melodic death metal elegance. Their sound is defined by a relentless rhythmic assault, where galloping guitar riffs and double-bass drumming provide a foundation for surprisingly lush keyboard arrangements. It is music that feels both industrial and organic, capturing the restless energy of the mid-2000s heavy music scene.
What truly sets them apart is the integration of synthesizers, which adds a gothic, almost cinematic layer to their aggressive compositions. Unlike many of their contemporaries who used keys for simple atmosphere, Still Remains weaves them into the melodic fabric of the songs, creating a 'Euro-metal' influence that feels sophisticated yet raw. The vocal delivery shifts seamlessly between guttural intensity and anthemic, melodic choruses.
For those looking to dive in, 'Of Love and Lunacy' is the essential starting point. It captures the band at their commercial and creative peak, showcasing the perfect balance of technical proficiency and emotional weight. It is the ideal soundtrack for moments that require both focus and a massive release of tension.
Still Remains is an American metalcore band from Grand Rapids, Michigan. They formed out of previous local bands Shades of Amber and Unition. They have released three studio albums, Of Love and Lunacy, The Serpent and Ceasing to Breathe, all to positive reviews, and had minor UK chart success with the single "Dancing with the Enemy". They disbanded in mid-2008, but reunited for one final show in March 2011. In May the band announced that the reunion would be permanent.
