ALL THAT REMAINS Debut Music Video For Cover Of GARTH BROOKS Classic “The Thunder Rolls”
August 3, 2017, 7 years ago
All That Remains have released a video for their cover of Garth Brooks' "The Thunder Rolls”, featured on their latest album, Madness.
All That Remains didn't want to do the same thing but also couldn't see an interpretation with "rainbows and unicorns jumping around in an animated video," according to frontman Phil Labonte. "We didn't want it to be too much like the original, but the specificity of the song limits it to what you can do," Labonte tells Billboard. The group opted for a clip mostly comprised of the band performing "The Thunder Rolls" in the studio, interspersed with sepia-toned images of dark clouds rolling in, wild horses galloping and a woman burning a photo of man with a candle.
"We didn't want to seem like we're trying to step on the toes of the original (video) but at the same time we weren't trying to change the message of the song," Labonte adds. "I felt like something less specific would work best."
All That Remains released their eighth studio album, Madness, back in April via Eleven Seven Music. Madness was recorded at West Valley Studios in Woodland Hills, California with producer Howard Benson.
