On the 9th December 2016 in the Dartmouth pub in Newton Abbot Andrew Racher and Matthew North had a drink together and decided for one more time to reunite the classic era of All Living Fear for a few gigs in 2017. This will mark 25 years of the band. The material will be the best known songs of the bands history so you will get the likes of Jessica, Stranger To None, Crimson, Tomorrow & Last Goodbye for example. No shows have been booked yet but as soon as they are we will have the gigs here and on our facebook page. Not much to report here at the moment. We are slowly updating the site. From now on our shop will be via the bandcamp page. We did think about spotify, but we didn't like it. We are very delighted to announce that All Living Fear are going to release music for the first time on Spotify. The Idea came about earlier in the year after we noticed that while there is issues about the fairness of payment from streaming services there is no question that it’s a very popular platforms and we felt our heritage should be on there.  All Living Fear's new album 'Coming Home' can be ordered now from our merchandise page or on our Bandcamp page and on iTunes. You can also order from iTunes and Play.com  Corrosion's homepage is now on the above link Corrosion were Matthew North and Paul Roe or All Living Fear Mk 3. We have just played one of the most important shows of the bands career. To play at the Whitby festival to a full venue, performing our new album to a very receptive audience was awesome to say the least. Lakobeil and Matthew North  Recently Matthew collaborated with the German band Lakobeil on the bands new single ‘Drowning Lullaby’ All Living Fear's full back catalogue online and can be downloaded from our Bandcamp page . Yep here is something direct from the studio a new recording of the song 'All Living Fear' that was first played live in 1993. 
We were very pleased to see the above review in the March edition of Terrorizer magazine. Secondly, Matthew also has a solo ep out, 3 songs one is a new version of a song that was on the Into the Light album with 2 other new songs that he has been performing in his solo shows.  Matthew with Reeves Gabrels  After almost 15 years involvement in the band (with a few years off in the middle) vocalist Andrew Racher has left All Living Fear to spend more time with his family. For all future shows Matthew North will be performing lead vocal duties as well as his usual guitar work. Matthew has said: ‘This is a big challenge for me, having had a stab at fronting the band before this time I want to do it right, and have been putting in the groundwork and going in at the deep end, but playing acoustic shows at folk clubs has helped enormously as well has having an excellent vocal coach. I’m very excited about playing some live shows at the end of the year, the band has never been better and I’m blessed with having some great musicians in the band’. The line up for future All Living Fear shows is: Matthew North: Guitar and Vocals Niall Parker: Bass and Backing Vocals Steve Williams: Guitar Nevla: Guitar and Backing Vocals. Sometimes the line-up may vary and may also include Paul Roe: Bass and Vocals Lee-Anne Burgess: Bass As for Pauls involvement in the band there are plans for him and Matthew to perform more shows as Corrosion as well at some point in the future to make a follow up album to Corrosions N-Y-A-G-A album there is also a firm plan to play a one off show where they will play the whole of the ‘Into The Light’ album live living 220 miles apart though logistics are not always easy. At the moment there is no plans to record a new All Living Fear album, Matthew is though working on a solo project, this has already started on some songs described as the best work he has ever done. Some of these songs might well be performed at future All Living Fear shows.
