Massachusetts metalcore outfit, All That Remains, has unveiled two new tracks off their upcoming album Overcome called "Before The Damned" and "Relinquish." Immediate impressions: less clean vocals, far more aggressive. I'm digging it.

Press release and song link available after the jump.

Massachusetts' All That Remains have posted two new tracks of music online from the band's eagerly-anticipated forthcoming album, Overcome, which will see a Sept 16 release through Prosthetic Records / Razor & Tie Entertainment. The two tracks, "Before The Damned" and "Relinquish," appear on the 11-track album which was produced and engineered by Jason Suecof (Trivium, Chimaira, The Black Dahlia Murder), mastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound (Lamb of God, Annihilator), and features artwork by Carson Slovak (Century, Too Pure To Die, killwhitneydead.).

"This represents the heavier side of ATR," frontman Phil Labonte says. "Last time we did this we put up "The Weak Willed" [from The Fall of Ideals] and we feel like it's a bit of a tradition to really kick you in the nuts when we first show off new stuff! So here is the heaviest stuff we came up with for 'Overcome'. Hope you like 'em." Pre-orders for 'Overcome' in exclusive design packages will be available shortly, with the first 200 orders receiving autographed 11x17 posters.

Meanwhile, All That Remains begins their nearly month-long stint on Vans Warped Tour July 23 in Mansfield, Mass., wrapping up next month in Los Angeles. This marks the first time All That Remains has been a part of the annual summer festival, having already left their live mark on Ozzfest in 2006, Sounds of the Underground in 2005 and the European leg the next year. Since the release of the band's last album, 2006's The Fall of Ideals, All That Remains has also made appearances at the Wacken: Open-Air Festival, Japan's Loud Park Festival and several European and Stateside tours
alongside Killswitch Engage, DragonForce, among others, all culminating in a highly-successful headlining tour across North America last winter. More touring is being confirmed for All That Remains in support of 'Overcome,' with more information will be available shortly.

The Fall of Ideals, has now sold over 175,000 copies in North America and was followed up by an October 2007 re-release of All That Remains' debut album, Behind Silence And Solitude, as well as the band's first-ever DVD, All That Remains Live, featuring all the band's music videos, footage from two live performances, behind the scenes footage, band and fan interviews and more.
