The band's next, The Fall of Ideals was released on July 11, 2006 to acclaim from all angles, including Kerrang! and Metal Hammer. The first video from the album was This Calling, which was featured on the soundtracks of both Masters of Horror II and Saw III. It was followed by The Air That I Breathe. Additionally, their song Six was featured on the Guitar Hero 2 game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360.
On January 11, 2007, the band announced their new drummer, Jason Costa, previously of Diecast. 2007 also has seen the band's first US headlining tour, which also featured Misery Signals, The Human Abstract, Light This City, and Cellador. All That Remains also made a special appearance at the New Jersey show of Sounds of the Underground in 2007.
A third video from "The Fall of Ideals" for the song Not Alone was released in mid-2007. Also, the band's DVD, entitled "All That Remains Live", was released in November of 2007. Currently, the band is co-headlining on tour with trivium.
The bands fourth effort, Overcome, is a combination of hardcore screaming and clean singing, best example being a song for the hopeless. The cd is a departure from their previous efforts, but it can still be appreciated in many ways.
In addition, they have released three of their songs: This Calling, Chiron, and Two weeks, as a welcome addition to any rock band players library.
On October 17, 2018, guitarist Oli Herbert died from drowning from a prescription overdose. He was 44 years old.

The Air That I Breathe
All That Remains Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never live with defeat never falter
This like the air that I breath
I will not choke on failure
I am a mortal man
But I'm not falling I'm not broken yet
I am a mortal man
I have suffered defeat, pain, loss
Still I push to the edge, never falter
For this cements my beliefs
I'll remain my own master
I will not relent no no
Never suffer defeat, never falter
For this cements my beliefs
I will not choke on failure
I will not relent
No no
Never suffer defeat, never falter
For this cements my beliefs
I will not choke on failure
The song "The Air That I Breathe" by All That Remains appears to be a motivational anthem for perseverance, resilience, and self-belief. The lyrics talk about the determination and grit that require one to hold onto one's beliefs and never yield to defeat or failure. The songwriter reinforces the idea that failure should not be allowed to choke or paralyze one's aspirations or beliefs in oneself. The lyrics imply that hardships and setbacks are opportunities for growth, and a person should not succumb to them, but instead endure and come out of them stronger. The repetition of the phrases "I will not relent, never suffer defeat, never falter" underscores the message of endurance and grit.
The lyrics are open to interpretation, and the listener can relate to them in different ways. Some might find it as a motivational call to overcome addiction, depression, or other mental health struggles. Some may find it as an encouragement to challenge oneself in sports, art, or any other aspect of life. Others may find it as a call to remain committed to personal beliefs and values despite external pressures.

Never live with defeat, never falter
This like the air that I breathe

I will not choke on failure...
Cause I will not choke on failure.
