All Shall Perish

All Shall Perish was founded in 2002 from the former members of the San Francisco Bay Area bands Antagony, End of All, and Boof. The founding members were Matt Kuykendall, Ben Orum, Mike Tiner, Caysen Russo, and Craig Betit. The band released their demo in 2003 and caught the attention of Japanese label Amputated Vein Records. On August 19, 2003, they released their debut album Hate, Malice, Revenge, which was re-released by Nuclear Blast in 2005. In 2006, The Price of Existence was released, whose first single, "Eradication," was made into a video and played on MTV2's Headbangers Ball. A viral video of the song "There Is No Business to Be Done On a Dead Planet" set to the boy-band 'N Sync's video for "Bye Bye Bye" helped to garner a new fanbase for the band.

The group released their third studio album, Awaken the Dreamers, on September 16, 2008, through Nuclear Blast. It debuted at number 126 on the Billboard 200 and number 1 on the Top Heatseekers charts,{{cite web|url={{BillboardURLbyName|artist=all shall perish|chart=all}}|title=Artist Chart History - All Shall Perish > Albums|publisher=Billboard.com|access-date=September 28, 2008}} with 5,500 copies sold in its first week. Guitarist Caysen Russo and vocalist Craig Betit only appear on the band's first studio album, and were replaced by Chris Storey and Hernan "Eddie" Hermida, respectively.

All Shall Perish completed several successful tours across America in 2006, and they were also on The Darkness Over Europe 2007 tour. Bray Almini (Suffokate) occasionally filled in for Mike Tiner on bass during tours. In September 2008, they toured parts of Russia and became the first all-American metal band to tour Siberia, playing shows in Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, and Omsk.{{cite web|url=http://www.allshallperish.com |title=The Official ALL SHALL PERISH Website |publisher=Allshallperish.com |access-date=April 30, 2012}} The band was also part of the European leg of the Hell On Earth Tour 2008. On November 11, 2008, the band recorded the video to their single "Never... Again," directed by Gary Smithson, in downtown Los Angeles.{{cite web|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=113830|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120912044658/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=113830|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 12, 2012|title=All Shall Perish Parts Ways With Guitarist, Announces Replacement|date=February 5, 2009|publisher=blabbermouth.net|access-date=April 4, 2009}}

On February 5, 2009, All Shall Perish stated on their website that they were parting ways with guitarist Chris Storey and replacing him with Jason Richardson. The band issued the following statement: "We will be doing all upcoming tours and fests! We have an unbelievable replacement named Jason Richardson. Can't wait to see everyone on the road! We will be doing a small headliner, the Atticus Clothing tour and then a ton of major fests in Europe. We have some surprises in store as well!"

After finishing the Night of the Living Shred Tour, All Shall Perish returned to California where they began writing a new album. Mike Tiner stated that the process was "going slow, very slow." In early 2010, Richardson left All Shall Perish to join Born of Osiris. On June 5, 2010, the band announced a new line-up. Drummer Matt Kuykendall, one of the founding members, was replaced by Adam Pierce (formerly of Sea of Treachery) and Francesco Artusato (Hiss of Atrocities) became the new lead guitar player, the band's third. The only original member remaining is Mike Tiner.

On November 8, 2010, the band announced they were starting work on a new album. Guitarist Ben Orum said on the band's official website, "After two very successful tours at home and abroad, we are now home writing the new All Shall Perish record! The writing process is flowing very naturally, and so far the material itself is very impressive. It is safe to say this will be one of the most aggressive, epic, groovy records we have ever written. I cannot wait to start playing this material live." On January 31, 2011, the band was announced to be billed on the fourth annual Mayhem Festival, playing on the Revolver Stage alongside other metal acts including Suicide Silence, Machine Head, Straight Line Stitch, and Testament.

Their fourth full-length album, titled This Is Where It Ends, was released on July 26, 2011, in United States and July 29, 2011, in Europe.{{cite web|url=http://www.lambgoat.com/news/view.aspx?id=12196|title=All Shall Perish And Guitarist Part Ways|work=Press Release on Lambgoat.com|access-date=February 13, 2009| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090211104358/http://lambgoat.com/news/view.aspx?id=12196| archive-date= February 11, 2009 | url-status= live}} A legal organization named World Digital filed suit on April 20, 2012, against 80 fans for $150,000 for allegedly using BitTorrent to download this album. This action by the company was done without the band's permission or knowledge, and as a result All Shall Perish sided with their fans against the lawsuit. The lawsuit was dropped by request of the band.{{cite web|url=http://torrentfreak.com/copyright-troll-causes-chaos-by-suing-fans-without-bands-permission-120429/ |title=Copyright Troll Causes Chaos By Suing Fans Without Band's Permission |publisher=TorrentFreak |date=March 12, 2012 |access-date=April 30, 2012}}

On October 3, 2013, Hermida joined Suicide Silence, which was officially announced on the band's Facebook page. A day later, All Shall Perish released a statement about Hermida leaving and confirmed that the band would continue.{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/allshallperish/posts/10151699103506344|title=facebook statement|website=Facebook |access-date=November 25, 2013}} An interview with Mike Tiner on the Metal Injection website stated that Mike Tiner's position was that Hermida chose to leave by not being able to commit to the band and making Suicide Silence his priority.{{cite web|url=http://www.metalinjection.net/interviews/exclusive-all-shall-perishs-mike-tiner-says-suicide-silence-gave-them-no-choice-but-to-fire-eddie-hermida|title=Exclusive: ALL SHALL PERISH's Mike Tiner Says Eddie Wasn't Fired For Joining SUICIDE SILENCE, He Quit|date=October 25, 2013 |access-date=November 25, 2013}}

On October 21, 2015, All Shall Perish announced the return of Hernan "Eddie" Hermida and guitarist Chris Storey, alongside founding members Matt Kuykendall, Caysen Russo, and Ben Orum. The group's press release noted that original vocalist Craig Betit will participate in some fashion as well. The band stated that bassist Mike Tiner, the last original member in the lineup before the return of Orum, declined a personal invitation to participate. Francesco Artusato and drummer Adam Pierce were confirmed to no longer be part of the band.{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/all-shall-perish-rejoined-by-singer-hernan-eddie-hermida/ |title=All Shall Perish Rejoined By Singer Hernan 'Eddie' Hermida |website=Blabbermouth.net |date=October 21, 2015 |access-date=February 8, 2016}}

The band's lyrics consist of several different themes, including politics, such as government control, fascism, corporate control, and organised religion. For example, the song "Black Gold Reign" from Awaken the Dreamers references countries around the world adopting oil as the main source of currency. A majority of their songs are politically based.[http://www.zolireds.net/media/interviews/hermida08/ interview with Hernan "Eddie" Hermida (All Shall Perish)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724141519/http://www.zolireds.net/media/interviews/hermida08/ |date=July 24, 2011 }} Zolireds Although rare, the band wrote a few songs on personal subjects such as the song "In This Life of Pain" from the album This Is Where It Ends,{{cite web|title=All Shall Perish Post Final "This Is Where It Ends" Track By Track Breakdown Webisode|date=July 14, 2011 |url=http://www.theprp.com/2011/07/14/news/all-shall-perish-post-final-this-is-where-it-ends-track-by-track-breakdown-webisode/|publisher=The PRP|access-date=June 12, 2012}} and the song "Deconstruction," from the album Hate, Malice, Revenge, which was written about original vocalist Craig Betit's ex-girlfriend.
