Philip Labonte was born on April 15, 1975, in Chicopee, Massachusetts. His early life was influenced by a military family background, with his father, uncle, and both grandfathers serving. During his youth, he listened to music ranging from 1950s and 1960s hits to brutal death metal bands like Cannibal Corpse and Gorguts as a teenager. Labonte briefly joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1993 but received an honorary discharge after an ankle injury. Upon his return, he re-engaged with his band Perpetual Doom, releasing a seven-track demo called “Sorrow’s End” in 1995, where he served as both vocalist and guitarist.
Labonte’s career progressed as he joined the melodic death metal band Shadows Fall in 1996, serving as their lead vocalist until 1998. During this period, Shadows Fall released their debut album, “Somber Eyes to the Sky,” in 1997. After departing from Shadows Fall due to creative differences, Labonte formed All That Remains in 1998 as a side project, which soon became his primary focus. Under his leadership, All That Remains released their debut album, “Behind Silence and Solitude,” in 2002. This was followed by “This Darkened Heart” in 2004, which introduced clean vocals and a more metalcore sound. The band achieved mainstream success with their third album, “The Fall of Ideals” (2006), which debuted on the Billboard 200 at number 75 and is considered a metalcore landmark album. Their album “For We Are Many” (2010) peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, marking a commercial high point.
Beyond All That Remains, Labonte has taken on temporary vocal roles for other prominent bands, including Killswitch Engage in early 2010 and Five Finger Death Punch in late 2016 and parts of 2017. In 2023, he rejoined Perpetual Doom to re-record their song “Apt. 213.” He has been a regular guest on Tim Pool’s political podcast, “Timcast IRL,” since 2023, where he discusses his libertarian political views, including support for gun rights, cannabis legalization, and criminal justice reform. Labonte also returned to the studio with All That Remains, releasing “Antifragile” in January 2025 as an independent effort, marking a new chapter for the band.
