Promoters for the 2012 annual NEW ENGLAND METAL AND HARDCORE FESTIVAL set to take place 4/20, 21st and 22nd 2012 WORCESTER, Massachusetts @ The Palladium have announced the festivals lineup as home state metal core heroes ALL THAT REMAINS have been confirmed as headliners Saturday evening, April 21.

FROM NEW ENGLAND METAL AND HARDCORE FESTIVAL 2012 PROMOTERS:
WORCESTER, Mass. - Massachusetts' own All That Remains has been announced as a very special guest headliner on Saturday evening, April 21, at the 14th Annual New England Metal and Hardcore Festival.

As one of metal's preeminent breakthrough success stories of recent years, All That Remains is one of many acts to get its start at the festival. From cracking the Billboard Top 10, to joining the elite active rock radio fraternity, to being one of just a handful of acts to take part in the Rockstar Mayhem Festival, Ozzfest and Vans Warped Tour trifecta, the group has shattered previously held expectations about just how far a band with roots in independent heavy metal can go. The quintet also returned to the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival's stage for a headlining slot in 2009.

The band just wrapped their final tour this past December in support of their latest studio release, 2010's "For We Are Many" (Razor & Tie). All That Remains have sold over 900,000 albums and 1,100,000 tracks to date. The band has had four consecutive hit singles at Active Rock radio with three in the top 10 andtheir latest single "The Waiting One" continues to do well at Active Rock Radio. All That Remains are currently writing material for their sixth album and this will be one of ATR's first performances of 2012.

The 14th Annual New England Metal and Hardcore Festival is a three-day affair, beginning Friday, April 20. The Black Dahlia Murder will headline Friday night, with All That Remains on Saturday and Killswitch Engage will close out the weekend on Sunday night.
