Jason Richardson has left All That Remains to focus on “new opportunities”.
It’s a departure that Richardson explains is fully civil and supported by the band. “All That Remains and I have decided to amicably part ways,” he writes in an Instagram post. “I’m incredibly proud of the record we made together and grateful for the relationships I’ve built during my time with the band.”

He goes on to allude to the next chapter of his career: “With everything happening in my own career and new opportunities that I have ahead, I need to prioritise what makes the most sense for my long-term future. There will be updates soon that I’m really excited to share with you all!”
The guitarist even teases that he’s been “grinding on a lot of different things behind the scenes”, noting that he’s “feeling very optimistic” about these mysterious upcoming projects.
To further show the lack of bad blood, he closes off with well-wishes for his former All That Remains bandmates. “I genuinely wish the rest of the band the absolute best in everything they choose to pursue,” he writes.

Richardson originally joined the All That Remains ranks back in 2018, following the passing of the late Oli Herbert. The original lead guitarist and founding member had tragically drowned in a lake behind his Connecticut home earlier in the year.
Prior to joining All That Remains, Richardson was also a member of prog metalcore unit Born of Osiris and deathcore gang Chelsea Grin. He’s also pursued his own solo projects throughout the years, releasing 2016’s I and 2022’s II records.
While details of the guitarist’s upcoming plans remain a secret, fans are already making some jokes about his pattern of hopping between bands. Over on Richardson’s Facebook post sharing the same news, one fan even humorously notes that, yet again, “Born of Osiris need a new guitarist”.
Another has also joked about Richardson’s departure of All That Remains will leave the band unable to perform the tracks he helped write on 2025’s Antifragile record. “My man left them with an album no guitarist is gonna be able to play,” one commenter jokes.
