All That Remains have a new guitarist and it’s Ken Susi, the former As I Lay Dying and Unearth musician. Having split with Jason Richardson last summer, the band has now filled the open slot in the band as they prepare to return to touring.
The group began teasing the addition of a new guitarist over the weekend, posting a teaser clip with a pair of hands playing a wicked guitar solo and inviting fans to guess who the new musician joining their band would be. There was plenty of fan speculation in advance that it actually would be Susi.
For many years, Susi was best known for his work in the metalcore outfit Unearth. He started as the band’s rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist back in 1998 and remained with the group through 2023. That stint yielded seven Unearth studio albums, but he was absent from their 2023 set The Wretched, The Rumors.
After exiting Unearth, he served as the guitarist and backing vocalist in As I Lay Dying from 2022 through 2024. His guitar work can be heard on the 2024 album Through Storms Ahead. But Susi was among a mass exodus from the band in the fall of 2024. Footage of a domestic disturbance between singer Tim Lambesis and his wife Dany leaked shortly after all of the band members had exited the group.
Now the guitarist gets a fresh start with another veteran group in All That Remains. He takes over for Jason Richardson who had manned the guitar spot since filling in for their group after Oli Herbert’s 2018 death.
He’ll be with the band when they return to the road on April 29 in Albany, N.Y. See all of All That Remains tour dates and get ticketing info through the group’s website.
Susi joins a growing list of musicians who’ve held down spots in multiple successful bands.
