I HAD TO LOOK UP “CHIRON” ON WIKIPEDIA
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008 at 3:16pm by Axl RosenbergHere’s what it told me:
“In Greek mythology, Chiron or Cheiron (’hand’) was held as the superlative centaur among his brethren. Like the satyrs, centaurs were notorious for being overly indulgent drinkers and carousers, given to violence when intoxicated, and generally uncultured delinquents. Chiron, by contrast, was intelligent, civilized and kind. He was known for his knowledge and skill with medicine.”
What’s that got to do with the new All That Remains single of the same name? Who the fuck knows? Watch the video and decide for yourself:
-AR
Solid!
The song is fucking awesome. But the video is pretty average. Dunno what ‘Chiron’ has to do with the song either but i think it’s a pretty cool name for a song.
I love ATR, but it looks like Phil is going to have an aneurysm when he screams. Can’t wait for the new album \m/
Phil is creaping me out big time in this vid. He looks like a fucking lizzard on steroids.
I like the chorus a lot. This is a good song.
I’m a big fan of ATR, but this video just hands down blows. Like I appreciate the aesthetics of the video making talents, with all the rack focuses and nifty static transitions. But the plain white and just them playing takes all the energy out of the song, which isn’t even that much of a rager in the first place. Also, anyone else notice how Phil has seemingly lost his range?
Oh and Phil looks like a lizard/bird/man hybrid.
I’m a big fan of All That Remains. I saw them on the Warped Tour and they killed it.
My only problem with their performance was in between songs twice Phil proclaimed that, “We’re the heaviest fuckin band on the Warped Tour.” Well, as true as that was, I thought it was fucking lame for him to say it. Anytime you have to say, “We’re the most…” anything, I think it’s pretty weak.
This is a great song though and I can’t wait for the album.
Good song, indeed. Looking forward to this album. Fall of Ideals kicked ass, so will this. It’s a given at this point.
fuck yeah
Oh…And when will ATR make a video that doesn’t suck ass? Seriously, every video they’ve made is so uninspired and boring as fuck. This video is terrible! Still, good song, good band.

I agree, the video saps all the energy of the song out, but asking if Phil has lost his range? Did he ever have one? “Not Alone” was the only song he’s ever had any kind of upper range. If you ever see them live you’ll notice they never play it and he never sings. The dude can scream, but anything top-end was all studio.
Why is Phil low in the mix?
I did forget that Six sucked live when i saw them. Probably cause like a rape victim, i tried to push deep into my subconscious.
CrapMcPoopin: You sir are a farkin’ retard
Thanks, it’s a step up from lead eating botched abortion.
I have to agree about Phil lookin funny, no more close-ups please! But the song doesn’t blow as much as i originally thought from the myspace player. They should just throw Oliver up in front and let him do his thing………….awesome.
I really liked ATR, and thought they were an awesome band, until I saw them live…bluh!…much like ZapBranigan pointed out, phil can be very lame on stage…at a show in OKC he stated that one of the rules when they played was “Not to touch the band”….that is just retarded…and then after listening to the set, i realized that ATR is really one good song per album…It might just be me, but “This Darkened Heart”, and “The Air That I Breathe” are pretty much the only ATR songs that I can see that stand out from the rest of them…which makes me believe they put out their good songs as singles…so I’m betting this song will be the best song on their new CD…most likely…
