All That Remains discuss Japan quake with CNN

Massachusetts metalcore outfit All That Remains, specifically frontman Phil Labonte, caught up with renowned US news station CNN recently to discuss the current Japan earthquake, after the band became caught in the middle of the natural disaster.

Recent visitors to our shores, Labonte on behalf of his group talked about the devastation in a televised interview with the noted news program. Labonte, speaking from his Tokyo hotel room said the major issue presently is the state of Japan's reactors.

"I guess my biggest concern for the past 12 or so hours has been the reactor. When the initial quake hit, the first major shock hit ,we were actually sound-checking and so we had to run out of the building and ran out onto the street," the musician said.

Fellow metal outfit High On Fire were also in Japan at the time and have since issued the following statement:

"Our thoughts go out to all the people of the world who have already been through such agony during these tragedies and are now going through much worse. To all those who have lost loved ones in particular, you have our deepest sympathies."

All That Remains and High On Fire were both unharmed during the earthquake.
