Jason Richardson’s All That Remains History
Jason Richardson came into All That Remains at a crucial moment in time. He took over on guitar following the unexpected death of longtime lead guitarist Oli Herbert in 2018. Richardson then helped the band honor their touring commitments for 2018’s Victim of the New Disease album.
Though Richardson is exiting the group just months after the release of Antifragile earlier this year, he did appear on the record. Richardson is not only credited with guitars, but also keyboards and programming on the album.
