Guitarist Caysen Russo and vocalist Craig Betit only appear on the band's first studio album, they were both replaced, respectively, with Chris Storey and Hernan "Eddie" Hermida by the time of their second release.
Matt Kuykendall has commented on the origin of the band's name, how he came up with it: "Sitting in my room in Berkeley, California, reading news websites and thinking about the fucked up shit going on in the world and my own life at the time. The name itself is a simple truism, but it's something that we all too easily forget."
All Shall Perish have completed several successful tours across America in the past year, sharing the stage with a variety of fellow deathcore groups, including acts such as Suicide Silence, Through the Eyes of the Dead, The Red Chord, The Acacia Strain, Misery Index, Job for a Cowboy, Antagony, among many others. The band maintained a blog during their early 2006 tour, known as the Spreading Disease tour. It can be read on the band's official web page, as well as on their MySpace page. All Shall Perish has recently had a tour with Stick to Your Guns, War of Ages, The Warriors, and Terror. They were also on The Darkness Over Europe 2007 tour with Bleeding Through, I Killed the Prom Queen and Caliban. They often add a cover of the song "Breaking the Law" by Judas Priest to their setlist. They recently headlined a tour with support from Emmure and From a Second Story Window. Bray Almini occasionally fills in for Mike Tiner on bass during tours. They are touring Europe in early 2010.
While touring in Australia on December 19, a van carrying people associated with the tour crashed north of the town of Coffs Harbour. The members of All Shall Perish were uninjured, but the lead singer and roadie of death metal band The Red Shore were killed.
The band have recently released a brand new full length entitled Awaken The Dreamers, taking on a new sound which seems to venture away from the core and more into the metal. They have since stated they are working on a follow-up.
On Wednesday, February 5, 2009, Chris Storey announced his departure from All Shall Perish. They have already recruited another guitarist and will continue playing the currently lined up shows on their tour.
But recently their newest guitarist left the band to join Born of Osiris and was replaced by Francesco Artusato, former lead gutarist of Hiss of Atrocities.
Hermida joined Suicide Silence on October 3, 2013, which was officially announced on the Suicide Silence Facebook page. On October 4, All Shall Perish released a statement about Hermida leaving, confirming that the band would continue. An interview with Mike Tiner on the Metal Injection website stated that Mike Tiner's position was that Hermida chose to leave by not being able to commit to the band.
On October 21, 2015, All Shall Perish announced the return of Hernan "Eddie" Hermida and guitarist Chris Storey, alongside founding members Matt Kuykendall, Ben Orum, and Caysen Russo, now on bass. The group's press release noted that original vocalist Craig Betit will participate in some fashion as well. The band stated that bassist Mike Tiner, the last original member in the lineup before the return of Orum, Kuykendall, and Russo declined a personal invitation to participate. Francesco Artusato and drummer Adam Pierce are no longer part of the band.
On April 21, 2020, vocalist Hernan "Eddie" Hermida announced that the reunion was no longer happening

All Shall Perish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This isn't a drill.
They're shooting to kill.
Still I'm here breathing.
Come with me now.
Together we can start the fire.
Burning the whole world to ash.
Let's help it fall apart.
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Striking the match as we set the world aflame.
Watch it as it burns away.
We all want to end it, but we're too afraid.
Let me pave the way.
Why should we care?
We were all forsaken anyway.
I've seen the despair.
I cannot take it.
Together we can start the fire.
Burning the whole world to ash.
This place is set for ruination.
Let's help it fall apart.
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
We are disgusted with all the corruption and all the
Misleading depraved.
All you who use us, we'll render you useless and watch as
Your life blows away.
Striking the match as you set the world aflame.
Watch it as it burns away.
We all want to end it, but we're too afraid.
Let me pave the way.
Why should we care?
We were all forsaken anyway.
I've seen the despair.
I cannot take it.
We all want to end it but we're too afraid.
Let me pave the way
The song "Procession Of Ashes" by All Shall Perish is a call to action for listeners to join the singer in starting a fire and burning the world to the ground. The opening lines set the tone for urgency as the singer warns that they are not joking around - this is not a drill. The next line, "They're shooting to kill," suggests that there is danger and perhaps oppression in the world that they are trying to escape from. Yet despite this danger, the singer is still alive and breathing. The repetition of the phrase "burn it all down" and the imagery of striking a match and watching the world burn are powerful and evoke feelings of destruction and chaos.
The lyrics also express a sense of frustration and disgust with corruption and deception in the world. The line "All you who use us, we'll render you useless and watch as Your life blows away" suggests a desire for revenge against those who have wronged them. The repeated question of "why should we care?" suggests a sense of nihilism or hopelessness, as if the world is already doomed and there is little point in trying to make a difference. Nevertheless, the singer is determined to take action and urges others to follow in their footsteps.
Overall, "Procession Of Ashes" is a dark and intense song that calls for destruction and rebellion against a corrupt society. It raises questions about the value of life and whether it is worth fighting for, as well as the destructive power of anger and the desire for revenge.
