"Tru-Kvlt-Metal" is the second non-official and third single song by American melodic metalcore band All That Remains from their seventh album, The Order of Things. It was released February 10, 2015.[1]

Song meaning

Phil Labonte stated about the song: "Tru-Kvlt-Metal" is really sarcastic. It's really directed towards the people that we've heard year after year, record after record, saying, 'Oh, put out another record like The Fall Of Ideals. We've done that, and even if we did it, some purist would say it's tarnished anyway because we've already done it. You can't win, so (the song) is kind of like flicking my nose at them and giving them the bird."[2]

Reception

AllMusic reviewer James Christopher Monger criticized the track, saying the song "goes so far as to call out those who have cast doubt on the band's authenticity, and does so amidst a barrage of alt-metal tropes that must have taken minutes to conjure."[3]
