Biography

"The album that they have produced is an atmospheric highlight, one bordering on magnum opus status, one heavily emotional and original."

For us, music is life. It is all we live for.

ALL I LIVE FOR is a four-piece metal band hailing from Leeds, UK. Despite the heavy breakdowns, the band are not shy about exposing their heartfelt side. Their unique sound is focused around powerful guitars, empowering lyrics and a choral section saturated with emotive vocal harmonies.

Since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, 'We Are The Angels' (mastered by multi-Grammy award-winning mastering engineer Gavin Lurssen (Foo Fighters, Guns 'n' Roses, Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Mötley Crüe, Game Of Thrones...)), the band has sold thousands of copies on CD and garnered rave reviews for their exceptional musicianship. Hit singles such as 'See My Soul', 'Godspeed', 'We Are The Angels', 'Awaken' and 'Set Me Free' have cemented their status as rising stars in the metal scene.

"With their trademark heavy sound that is mixed with potent vocals that just seems to get the ambience just right, this is a booming effort that is rather pain-alleviating and an exceedingly quality listen."

"There’s a lot more going on here and instrumentally the band are a lot stronger than I was expecting initially. [The band] have pulled off a really strong debut album."

As they prepare to release their highly anticipated second album, 'Into The Ether', ALL I LIVE FOR is raising the bar even higher. With a fresh sound and exciting new tracks, this album promises to be a game-changer. Their first three brand new singles, 'Tethered', 'Retain You' and 'All Your Pain' showcase a significant advancement in songwriting & production compared to their debut.

Join us on our journey... We can all be angels in this life, standing for the good and determining the state of our world for future generations. Let's make it beautiful and grow together towards a positive evolution of (human) being.

Retain You



Retain You is a melodic highlight, with a very memorable and catchy chorus. Within the lyrics is a rallying call to look after and protect our planet.

'Retain You' has a giant sound with powerful vocals and pounding drums. There is a spoken section in this that impressed me, as normally I find that when bands add spoken lyrics, the voice doesn't command the authority of the drama they are looking for, but on this occasion I thought it worked well.

Tethered



Tethered is the first single from ALL I LIVE FOR's highly anticipated second album. It showcases a significant advancement in songwriting & production compared to their debut.

The title track and third single from ALL I LIVE FOR's debut album. Embedded within the lyrics is a powerful underlying message that we are all responsible for the good in the world. We are the angels.

"The sound mass is incredibly gigantic... A melodic construction that fills the ears, almost like a vocal orchestra, a song that perfectly fit each instrument in its place, an emotional sequence of notes."

Listen/Buy

Godspeed



Godspeed is the most recently written song from ALL I LIVE FOR's debut album. It makes use of highly elaborate vocal harmonies throughout, which complement the driving guitar riffs. Within the lyrics is a message of hope that comes from reflecting on your life and going in the direction you choose.

"Definitely a go to on this LP. This song also includes some growl, which adds brutality and a small accent of darker metal subgenres. It all results in a great song."

Listen/Buy

See My Soul



The first single from ALL I LIVE FOR's debut album, 'We Are The Angels'. This song is about expressing feelings associated with a break-up, yet knowing that you will always be there for the other person.
