All Shall Perish

Technical death metal band All Shall Perish hails from Oakland, California, but their eponymous three-track demo had to make its way across the Pacific Ocean and be embraced by Japan's Amputated Vein Records to make possible their first album, Hate, Malice, Revenge, released in 2003. Founded a year earlier, the group then parlayed a tireless touring schedule into a worldwide deal with Nuclear Blast (which re-released their debut in 2005), and comprises vocalist Craig Betit, guitarists Beniko Orum and Caysen Russo (recently departed), bassist Mike Tiner and drummer Matt Kuykendall. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
