JASON RICHARDSON Says That He Left ALL THAT REMAINS Due To The Business Side

Jason Richardson has quite the extensive resume. From spending 2009 until 2010 with All Shall Perish while simultaneously with Born Of Osiris from 2009 until 2011, to then being a part of Chelsea Grin in 2012 until 2015, to then spending seven years with All That Remains from 2018 until 2025, he has had a hand in several of the most influential late-2000s deathcore and heavy metal bands, and since Jason Richardson announced his departure from All That Remains in the middle of last year, the public has eagerly awaited any kind of news from Richardson regarding what’s next for him.

But, in order to talk about the future, he needed to wrap up the loose ends that fans felt were there when he split from All That Remains, and in a chat with Guitar World, he attempted to do it as respectfully as possible: “I don’t wanna get into the weeds of it publicly, but I’m still cool with all of the guys in the band. It was mostly just a business thing. And things just were not executed like they were promised to be, from management and the people tasked with putting the [All That Remains] record [Antifragile (2025)] out. I’m glad the record exists, but the fact that it’s already been out almost a year and there hasn’t been one show. So it’s, like, there’s just a lot of things on the business side in the back end that I was not happy with at all. It has nothing to do with anyone’s personality or anyone in the band at all. It just wasn’t, in my opinion — like, I could be doing other things than trying to make that work when it so clearly was not going to — from my perspective, at least” [as transcribed by Blabbermouth].

Richardson continued to clarify, “I still love the guys. I love the record. I loved working with [producer] Josh Wilbur, the guy who did the album. He’s phenomenal. And that’s probably one of the best things about that record, for me at least, is now I have a great relationship with him, and we’re gonna keep working together. But I am happy all those songs are real, so there’s that at least.”

There appeared to be a bit of drama around Richardson‘s departure before it was even announced after the guitarist posted a cryptic story to his X account saying: “I have not ever felt so disrespected, taken advantage of, for granted or undermined like this in my entire career. Unbelievable. Never again.”

About two weeks later, Jason Richardson confirmed the split from All That Remains, writing in a grid post on Instagram that: “All That Remains and I have decided to amicably part ways. I’m incredibly proud of the record we made together and grateful for the relationships I’ve built during my time with the band. With everything happening in my own career and new opportunities that I have ahead, I need to prioritize what makes the most sense for my long-term future.

“There will be updates soon that I’m really excited to share with you all! I genuinely wish the rest of the band the absolute best in everything they choose to pursue. Excited for my next chapter! I’ve been grinding on a lot of different things behind the scenes and I’m feeling very optimistic rn.”
