Biography
All Out War continued to reinforce the sound of New York hardcore by crossing genres of metal and punk that influentially draw from Slayer, Agnostic Front, the Cro-Mags, and Sick of It All. Upon their formation in the early '90s, the metalcore outfit recorded some demos and the 7" Destined to Burn, and played out shows locally around Newburgh and down in N.Y.C. Erik Carrillo (bass), Brad Mader (guitar), Taras Apuzzo (guitar), Matt Byrne (drums), and Mike Score (vocals) released their first album, Truth in the Age of Lies, on the German label Gain Ground in 1997 and embarked on their first tour. The band (whose lineup shuffled throughout its career) would eventually have the chance to share the stage with Deicide, Agnostic Front, Napalm Death, and Earth Crisis, among others. Chicago-based Victory Records put out All Out War's follow-up, For Those Who Were Crucified, in 1998. Tours with Buried Alive, Reach the Sky, and Shadows Fall followed, and after an appearance at the New England Metal Fest in 2001, All Out War broke up. They resurfaced two years later for a benefit show at CBGB, which ultimately led to a new album for Victory that fall entitled Condemned to Suffer. By then, Score and Apuzzo were completed by bassist Andy Pietrolungo, drummer Jesse Sutherland, and guitarist Jose Segarca. That lineup only lasted long enough for a two-week European tour and a bout of dates with Misery Signals before things went sour; everyone but Score left to form Nerve Gas Tragedy. Score eventually welcomed former members Jim Antonelli (guitar) and Erik Carrillo (bass) and longtime friends Jim Bremer (guitar) and Lou Iuzzini (drums) into the All Out War fold; together the quintet recorded April 2007's Assassins in the House of God. ~ Mike DaRonco, RoviWikipedia on Answers.com:

Career
The band played their first show together in Newburgh, New York at the Hudson Valley skate park in 1991. A riot broke out resulting in the police intervening. The line up was Darryl Quirk, Sam Carbone (rip), Tom Connelly (three members from A.W.O.L., an earlier hardcore band from Newburgh, N.Y.) and Mike Score.[1][2] They are sometimes credited with having formed in 1993.[3] The band's lineup shifted frequently in its early years before their first full length release Truth in the Age of Lies on the German record label Gain Ground in 1997. Later in 1997 the band signed with the Chicago based record label Victory Records, where they released their second album For Those Who Were Crucified in 1998.
Turmoil within the band continued in the years following the release of For Those Who Were Crucified with multiple band members entering and leaving the band. The band returned to the studio in 2003 to record their third full length, Condemned to Suffer, which was also released on Victory Records. In 2004 the band announced that they had officially broken up due to the inability of vocalist Mike Score to continue with the band.[4]
All Out War reunited in 2006,[5] and released their fourth album Assassins in the House of God (2007). By early 2008 the band had left Victory Records.[6] However, by early 2010, All Out War had returned to the record label and recorded Into the Killing Fields, which was released in August 2010.
