Jason Richardson sheds some light about him parting ways with All That Remains

The circumstances surrounding guitarist Jason Richardson’s departure from All That Remains have been partially revealed, as per theprp. When Richardson first joined the band in 2018, he replaced the late Oli Herbert. He would later feature in the group’s single album, “Antifragile,” released in January 2025. Richardson posted a mysterious message over the internet in June 2025.

I have not ever felt so disrespected, taken advantage of, for granted or undermined like this in my entire career. Unbelievable. Never again.

His departure from All That Remains was the subject of intense rumors. The two parties announced their separation in separate announcements just over a month later, indicating that the split was amicable. Richardson discussed his reasons for leaving the band in a recent interview with Guitar World. He said this in response to the question of whether the circumstance was challenging.

Kind of, but not, simultaneously. I don’t wanna get into the weeds of it publicly, but I’m still cool with all of the guys in the band. It was mostly just a business thing. And things just didn’t… were not executed like they were promised to be, from management and the people tasked with putting the record out. I’m glad the record exists, but the fact that it’s already been out almost a year and there hasn’t been one show… So it’s, like, there’s just a lot of things on the business side in the back end that I was not happy with at all. It has nothing to do with anyone’s personality or anyone in the band at all. It just wasn’t, in my opinion — like, I could be doing other things than trying to make that work when it so clearly was not going to — from my perspective, at least.

I still love the guys. I love the record. I loved working with [producer] Josh Wilbur, the guy who did the album. He’s phenomenal. And that’s probably one of the best things about that record, for me at least, is now I have a great relationship with him, and we’re gonna keep working together. But I am happy all those songs are real, so there’s that at least.
