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." - A&R Factory

"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." - This Noise Is Ours

ALL I LIVE FOR's highly anticipated second album, 'Into The Ether', showcases a significant advancement in songwriting & production compared to their debut. It features the singles 'Tethered', 'Retain You', 'All Your Pain' and 'Embers Of The Fallen'.

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.
